[opencms-dev] Code: File Exists?

[Jens Rickhoff]

Hi Tim,

I solved it by trying to access a property of the resource (i.e.
file/folder). If that
method throws a CmsException, I know the file does not exist (or that any
other
serious exception occured). It works fine for me, here's the JSP snippet:

  private boolean exist(CmsJspActionElement cms, String resource) {
    boolean result = true;
    try {
      String test = cms.getCmsObject().readProperty(resource, "title",
false, "title");
    } catch (com.opencms.core.CmsException e) {
      result = false;
    }
    return result;
  }

However, I'd prefer a "real" CmsObject.resourceExists() method...

Hope that helps,

Jens

Hello List,

In a module that I'm developing, I'm trying to confirm that a path (string)
points to an existing file. I can't seem to find a method that will return a
boolean if a file exists or not. Does anyone know of a method in OpenCms
that would do the job? I'm sure someone else has had this issue come up
before.

Thanks,
