Locate images in html outside jar

Question

In my application, i have to generate images on fly using java code and have to give a path of generated image in html page to show generated image to the user in html.

Can you please help me out on this.

Jar file location is java -jar /usr/syam/test/test.jar

but i am generating images in /usr/syam/captcha/test.jpg

in html file,

Please help me on this.

You can use resource handler e.g.

@Component
class WebConfigurer extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
         registry.addResourceHandler("/captcha/**").addResourceLocations("file:///usr/syam/captcha");
    }

}
