How to convert absolute path to a relative path so that it can be referenced from an img tag? java web

Creating a web application that lets users upload images. The code works but having trouble understanding how to get the images in a relative path so that it can be referenced from an img src="" tag?

So far the code takes the multipart request and stores the file in an absolute path on server but this cannot be referenced from an < img > tag..

Any ideas on how to go about this?
