Hi Arney,
maybe you should first also give the suggestion of ram another chance, because you can also use it in your class code:
String url = request.getWebResourcePath() + "/images/draft.jpg";
Otherwise to avoid the hardcoding you can either perform configuration in your portalapp.xml with the server prefix and read it out, or write a little method that retrieves your server name. This is however not as trivial as it might look like. I personally have a method like follows:
public String getBasePortalUrl(IPortalComponentRequest request) {
     StringBuffer requestURL = request.getServletRequest().getRequestURL();
     //Parse the server name,port etc. out of this request url, depending on your system environment
     //Normally you parse till you get to /irj
