Displaying image in JSF-based web application

Question

I have a JSF application and I am trying to display an image that is sitting locally on another machine in the intranet:

<h:graphicImage id="image"
    url="\\myip\C\images\myimg.jpg">
</h:graphicImage>

C is a shared folder.

However it doesn't display it and when I look in the source it adds the localhost:8080 as post fix.

how can I deal with it?

When I write the URL with notepad - not as web application it works just fine!
