<s:actionerror/>
<s:form action="Profile_update" validate="true">
 <s:textfield label="Username" name="username"/>
 <s:password label="Password" name="password"/>
 <s:password label="(Repeat) Password" name="password2"/>
 <s:textfield label="Full Name" name="fullName"/>
 <s:textfield label="From Address" name="fromAddress"/>
 <s:textfield label="Reply To Address" name="replyToAddress"/>
 <s:submit value="Save" name="Save"/>
 <s:submit action="Register_cancel" value="Cancel" name="Cancel"
   onclick="form.onsubmit=null"/>
</s:form>
