First, thank you for fixing your name.
OK, it looks like they are outside of your webapp.
In order to link to these images with an HTML img tag from a browser, you will need to either write a servlet that streams images or create a symlink to the images directory from somewhere within your webapp's directory structure.
The streaming servlet would be my first choice.
By default, in
Tomcat, symlinks are not followed.
This is for security reasons and I assume most other containers take the same approach.
They are also not portable. Someday, you may have the misfortune of having to deploy this app on something other than a Unix box.
Depending on your server and network, there may be other options as well.
