Hassan, Use the java.io.File.exists() method. You will also probably have to use the ServletContext.getRealPath() method to construct the path to the actual image file.
As a suggestion, I wouldn't recommend putting the images in the jsp directory. They should be put in a separate directory. If you want to hide them from the public, put them under the WEB-INF directory and have them be returned by a servlet or else store them as BLOBs in the DB.
