I've answered similar question before: Simplest way to serve static data from outside the application server in a Java web application

To summarize there are basically two ways:

1. Add a new Context to the server.xml denoting the absolute location where the images are.

2. Create a Servlet which gets an InputStream of the image using FileInputStream and writes it the usual Java IO way to the OutputStream of the response, along with at least Content-Type, Content-Length and Content-Disposition headers.
