Accessing File Stored on a server in my servlet

In my servlet file im trying to access a file stored on the server,and then im converting it to inputstream and storing it into the database. if I try with local file,Its doing well,but when I try to access the file stored in my server it is showing 500 exception. that the directory cannot be identified.

Note : when I copy this directory and paste it in url,its working fine and showing the image.

Here is my code,

InputStream inputStream = null;        
  inputStream =  new FileInputStream("http://www.example.com/images/community.gif");

and this is for local,

 inputStream =  new FileInputStream("D:/INDIGOWORK/PostFreeAd/WebContent/images/community.gif");

Its working fine.Please solve my problem

Try using URL:

InputStream in = new URL("http://www.example.com/images/community.gif")
    .openStream();
