I need to display uploaded files on a web application, the flow is as follows

  1. User uploads file through web UI
  2. Validation on image
  3. Makes call to imageRepository.store( uploadedImage, user.getSite() )
  4. The user wants the image displayed which adds <img src="${anUploadedImage.getUrl()}"/>

but that is where I'm stuck, what can getUrl() do? The simple solution is to put it someplace and let Apache serve the file, but then I can't use the application to ensure that one user isn't modifying the URL to view other users files, which in this case is important
