Urgent : Can we restrict access to a directory in tomcat

[Syed Nayyer Kamran]

hi there,

I want to restrict the user to access the images directly through the web. They should 
be able to access these images through web pages developed as jsp/servlet but should 
not be able to access these images displayed on page by copying the image url to the 
address bar. Is tomcat directly support this functionality. or any other solution.

Thanks in advance for any solution of the problem.
