In a JSF 2.2 web page, I display an image with h:graphicImage but also need a way to refer to the same image in a <a href="..." /> link.

<a class="thumbnail" href="???/image.png" >
  <h:graphicImage name="image.png" />                         
</a>

The image resource is included at

WEB-INF
 \-web.xml
resources
 \-image.png 
index.html

The run-time path rendered by h:graphicImage will look like

/javax.faces.resource/image.png.html;jsessionid=xxx

How can I get this resource path path for the image to build a <a href="???/image.png"> element which links to this image?

@kolossus I edited the question, no subfolders of `resources` are involved – mjn Mar 02 '16 at 08:27
