If you use the html taglib to create the submit and cancel tags, you have to be
careful of the order, as if you are in a form and you hit the enter key, the
form will be submitted or cancelled based upon the last submit/cancel tag used.

Meaning if the order is like this:

(Submit) (Cancel)

the form will be cancelled

if the order is:

(Cancel) (Submit)

the form will be submitted.

For pure aesthetic reasons, I prefer to put the cancel button last (also, that
is how most of my users like it), but I also like to hit the enter key to submit
forms... 

I've written the following patch to org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CancelTag to
rewrite the cancel submit button to be a combination of a "button" and a hidden
form field.

This requires NO CHANGE to current jsp pages.
