A warning about using property="submit" for the html:submit tag... If you need to use javascript to programmatically submit forms (i.e. myForm.submit()), then using property="submit" will cause you problems since you now have a form property called "submit", which overrides the form's submit method. As I recall, the error message is obscure when this happens - pain in the a$$ to track down the cause of the bug.
I would recommend using properties of "submitBtn", "renewBtn" and "replaceBtn" instead - and then in your action class you just need to check for the existence of the parameter (i.e. not null) to determine which button was pressed. The value is not important in this case.
