I use tomcat 7.0 and eclispe WTP plugin. I can’t reference to file on my local disk.
<h:graphicImage value="C:/tmp/someFile.png"/>

I tried to resolve it by adding in location C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-tomcat-7.0.32\webapps
directory tmp/ and use <h:graphicImage value="/tmp/someFile.png"/>

I tried also add from eclipse to tomcat file: server.xml <Context docBase="C:/tmp" path="/tmp" />

<Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="true" name="localhost" unpackWARs="true">

    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"/>

  <Context docBase="myProjectName" path="/myProjectName" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:myProjectName"/>
  <Context docBase="C:/tmp" path="/tmp" /></Host>

and reference to file in the same way <h:graphicImage value="/tmp/someFile.png"/>

In result I have HTTP Status 404. description The requested resource is not available.

How Can I resolve it ?
Thanks

    The <h:graphicImage> automatically prepends the context path of the current webapp in the URL. If you’d have looked at the generated HTML output and/or the HTTP traffic monitor in webbrowser’s builtin webdeveloper toolset, you’d have noticed it.

    Just use plain HTML <img> element instead.

    <img src="/tmp/someFile.png" />
