If you're talking about getting that directory from HTML (e.g., to embed an
image in your page), I'd suggest just referencing it directly, like,
<img src="/images/guernica.gif" />
This lets you alias it in your webserver, to put the images directory
anywhere you like.
If you're trying to find it in your Java code, try
ServletContext.getRealPath().
