You could write a simple servlet to serve up these images from any
accessible file system. The URL for it would look something like this:

http://yourtomcatserver/yourwebappcontext/getImage?name=Foo.gif

The the servlet would know what directory to look for images in and handle
streaming them out to the client. That would be a very flexible way of
solving the problem.
