Hi Phil, i see your point, when action is configured to catch all requests like that it will catch all *.gif requests, maybe add namespace to your action and that will solve your problem, then You will call any action but in /Example/mynamespace/* and You will store your images in /images directory, don't forget to not to use realative address for your image file - do it like this < img src="/images/logo.gif" /> Still, if You want to use one action in struts, it's pointles to use struts - but that's just my point of view.
