No. The resource may or may not exist completely independently of whether or not the webapp has some location in the file system; you're confusing the situations. One can use getRealPath() to determine the path for a resource the webapp wants to /create/, not just one the webapp wants to read. If you want to see if the path returned points to an existing file, there are ample APIs in the JRE to let you do so. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
