"Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:....jpg" Java EE Tomcat

sending tag <img src="c:\images\mypic.jpg"> would cause user browser to access image from his filesystem. if you have to store images in folder located in c:\images i would suggest to create an servlet like images.jsp, that as a parameter takes name of a file, then sets servlet response content to an image/jpg and then loads bytes of image from server location and put it to a response.

But what you use to create your application? is it pure servlet? Spring? JSF?

Here you can find some info about, how to do it.

In Chrome, you are supposed to be able to allow this capability with a runtime flag --allow-file-access-from-files

However, it looks like there is a problem with current versions of Chrome (37, 38) where this doesn't work unless you also pass the runtime flag --disable-web-security

That's an unacceptable solution, except perhaps as a short-term workaround, but it has been identified as an issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=379206
