I'm not an advocate of this approach, so I'm not sure I'm the one to answer this question... Where is Dakota Jack when we need him?!? ;)

That being said...

Aside from the obvious security benefits, I often here caching as a big reason. Jack and I had a debate two weeks or so ago about whether such an approach could actually be faster than other caching strategies. I didn't think it ever could be, he thought it could definitely be... I don't think we ever had any resolution on the question, but there's little question that doing it this way gives you some flexibility you don't have otherwise, like maybe you want to store all your resources in a database and serve them from there.

What would be the benefits to doing this?  (just curious)

So, something like:

<img src="GetItemAction.do?img=myImage.gif">

... will call your Action, which presumably retrieves the referenced
image and returns it.  You can do this for stylesheets, scripts,
whatever else you want.
