[opencms-dev] Best way to determine existence of file in VFS

[Andrew Kerr]

Hi there,

I am writing a JSP that needs to show a link to a file only if it exists 
in the VFS.  There don't seem to be any JSP tags that handle this.

I'm thinking of using a line of code such as:

CmsResource resource = getCmsObject().readFileHeader(target);

...to determine if the file exists (it'll throw an exception if it doesn't).

Is there any other preferred way of doing this?

Thanks,
Andrew Kerr
