I seem to remember that there is a difference between <package name="estab" extends="struts-default"> and <package name="estab" extends="struts-default" namespace="/"> If the namespace is omitted, S2 puts it in the "default namespace" [1] which basically allows any url to match the actions defined there, so long as the action names. So /passThroughToNewEstablishment.action would work, but so would /some/random/path/passThroughToNewEstablishment.action Explicitly adding the namespace="/" defines an explicit namespace. So /some/random/path/passThroughToNewEstablishment.action would fail, but /passThroughToNewEstablishment.action would work. [1] see http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.2/docs/namespace-configuration.html#Name spaceConfiguration-DefaultNamespace or "Struts 2 in Action", page 49, about half way down (the paragraph under the NOTE).
