http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41285 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-01-05 14:16 ------- The reason for this (and a number of other bugs with symbolic links) is that java does not understand symbolic links (or rather the symbolic link information is not given to the java user). See: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4956115 (File.exists() reports false for symbolic links to nonexistent files) state: Closed, not a bug And the evalulation: """This is not a bug. In the absence of an API which exposes symbolic links in all their glory we don't have any choice but to treat a dangling symbolic link as a nonexistent file.""" There is a FRE http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4313887 (which closes 35 other bugs) which asks talks about an extended api with support for symbolic links - currently slated for java 1.7. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
