checking availability of resource

Alexander Žaťko
What is the best way to check if a file is present in a file system?

I store XML files on a disk (I use the web app resource manager) and
need to build a different XForms model, depending on the
presence/absence of the resource. I tried to use the URL generator with
dynamically-built content of the "url" element of the config, but this
is not good approach as the resource manager throws an error if
resource is not found.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Alex.

I'm not saying this is ideal, but you could perhaps
use the directory scanner to build a document with
all the files, then your conditional statement
can test for a file in that document.

You could build the document within a scope generator,
not with every request.
