Answer 1

If its a web context may be something like this could help

InputStream is = null ;
is = request.getSession().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/images/someimage.jpg");

or may be something like this:

InputStream is = null ;
String realPath  = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/images/someimage.jpg");
is = new FileInputStream(realPath);
