There is a method something like:
<html:errors property="firstName"/>

One approach to consider is to remember that the "focus" attribute of the
form can take a runtime expression, instead of a String constant, to
specify the name of the field to send the cursor to.  If you had some
mechanism to define a bean (with a string value) named "errorField" then
you could say:

	<jsp:useBean id="errorField" class="java.lang.String"/>
	<form action="/xxx" focus="<%= errorField %>">
	  ...
	</form>
