Problem in getting the image through URL

Question

hi all,
I facing the problem,Inwhich i am unable find the solution...I am using the following code to display the image
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
                    throws IOException, ServletException {
               int data=0;
               response.setContentType("image/png");
               ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
               String file = request.getContextPath()+imageNames[0];
               //String file = "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/ImageComm/WEB-INF/images"+imageNames[index];
               BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
               System.out.println("the size of the inputStream is..."+in.available());
               System.out.println("the context path is..."+request.getContextPath());          
               while ((data = in.read()) != -1) {
               out.write(data);
with the above i am not getting any error at the compile time but it was giving exception like FileNotFoundException.

It was displaying the Image for the first time.and when ever it was going for the second time in to the paint method it was displaying the IOException in reading the stream from the connection.
