A relative link will work if it is inside the web application root.
If you want to load external images write a Servlet to which the
path or name of the image file is passed as an argument and the
Servlet reads the file using ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() and
write it to the OutputStream returned by the
response.getOutputStream(). Dont forget to set the appropriate MIME
type for content type.
