Have the "Add Address" button submit to a different method - say, addAddress() on personSave action itself.
ie <s:submit action="personSave" *method="addAddress"*> For suppressing validation for this method alone, but allowing for other methods on the action, use the wildcard action mappings -- see earlier posts for the same.
