How to test is a folder exists ?

How to test is a folder exists ?

I try to use webdavResource.setPath (path) and then
webdavResource.exists()

but setPath throws HttpException with reason code 404. is
this the
only way to  know if a folder does not exit:

  try {
         webdavResource.setPath (path);
  } catch (HttpException he) {
         if (he.getReasonCode() == 404) {
            // create the folde here ...
         }
  }

thanks !

you forgot to query the exists() method of WebdavResource ; 


so your code shall look like :


	  webdavResource.setPath (path);
          if (webdavResource.exists()){
		// do something
          } else {
		// do something else
          }


cheers

Hi,
I forgot to put this but the problem is that setPath()
throws HttpException
already the folder does not exist.
