I am using tomcat 8 to run my webApp created in intellij 14 and I want to make some link to uploaded image like http://localhost:8080/images/profPic.jpeg . but I don't know how to create this link. Where do I have to save images on server to make them accessible like this ?

EDIT :

Context< docBase = "/some/path" path="some/link"/>

doesn't work. probably they changed something in tomcat 8. Also, I know that putting files under web root makes them accessible but in that case i need to deploy them on every change? i need to add and delete images dynamically

Perhaps it is a better idea to create a servlet that delivers your images instead of providing direct links – Marged Jun 27 '15 at 19:24
then how to put image in response and then display it ? – Rezo Shalikashvili Jun 27 '15 at 21:09
