For the 'cancel button' case, you need to have a form action with a
validator that always validates, no matter what. You can find an
example of one such null_validator here:

https://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/plone.app.form/tags/2.0.3/plone/app/form/validators.py

To use it, you do something like

class MyForm(...):

  @form.action(..., validator=null_validator):
  def handle_cancel(self, ...)
    [... do the redirect ...]

Cheers,

Leo
