not allowed to load local resource in chrome code example
Example: not allowed to load local resource html image
sending tag <img src="c:\images\mypic.jpg"> would cause user browser to access image from his filesystem. if you have to store images in folder located in c:\images i would suggest to create an servlet like images.jsp, that as a parameter takes name of a file, then sets servlet response content to an image/jpg and then loads bytes of image from server location and put it to a response.
But what you use to create your application? is it pure servlet? Spring? JSF?
Here you can find some info about, how to do it.
