1) First of all upload/write the file to some location in server, which is publicly accessible, like ROOT or some folder inside ROOT.

2) As you wrote "But when I am trying to access the file using the below File URL, Image not render?", because it is a file URL, but browser only understands http URLs so it should be http URL, like http://localhost:8080/tmp_files/user_profile_pic.jpg etc.

3) You can make a properties or constants file in your code, and make variable like URL and PATH, to set http URL and file upload path respectively. In this way, you can set/change the values before deploying the war in tomcat within the Linux Server.
