You can store your image path in properties file.

store that property file in your classpath.

now access that property in your controller class like this:

Properties properties = new Properties();
/*to access your filename.properties file */
properties.load(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("filename.properties"));

String  sServerLocation = properties.getProperty("server.upload.docs.path");

note that you should use escape charater in your property file like :

server.upload.docs.path=D:\\JDIS3\\DOCS\\

If its a web context may be something like this could help

InputStream is = null ;
is = request.getSession().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/images/someimage.jpg");

or may be something like this:

InputStream is = null ;
String realPath  = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/images/someimage.jpg");
is = new FileInputStream(realPath);
