title: Spring get files and images from external folder on disk, outside webapps?
body: <p>I have webproject which has images inside src/main/webapp folder. I would like to place images in different folder on the disk. But I have no idea how to manage requests to reach this images. 
  Should I create some kind of <code>httpServlet</code> like shown here: <a href="http://balusc.omnifaces.org/2007/07/fileservlet.html" rel="noreferrer">http://balusc.omnifaces.org/2007/07/fileservlet.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Or as I use Spring MVC with java configuration, there is more suitable and simpler way.</p>
  
  <p>Looking forward for your suggestions.</p>
