Let's say I have this given namespace or url like this

http://localhost:8090/MyApp/pageowner/profile?id=1

where in that page or profile has an img tag.

and the path of the image being retrieved is like this

media/user_01/photos/imm_2011_01_06_17_48_32_332.JPG

Where the media folder is located Web-Content.

so if I just want to access the file itself I could just do this 

http://localhost:8090/MyApp/media/user_01/photos/imm_2011_01_06_17_48_32_332.JPG

but how come when I am inside the pageowner namespace I could not access it. the url being returned is like this

 http://localhost:8090/HitPlay/pageowner/media/user_01/photos/imm_2011_01_06_17_48_32_332.JPG

That gives me an error 404 not found.

it is not accessing the file in the root context or Web-Content. is there anyway I can specify that the file I am getting is in the root or Web content location if I am inside the pageowner namespace

you could try using request.getContextPath() - it is used to return the portion of the request URL and specifies the context of the request.
