FileDirContext returns the path directly without checking whether the target file really exists

[Ivan]

Hi,
    Seems that the doGetRealPath method in the FileDirContext returns the
path directly without checking the target file or folder exists, so is it
expected or file checking is required ?
    --->
    @Override
    protected String doGetRealPath(String path) {
        File file = new File(getDocBase(), path);
        return file.getAbsolutePath();
    }
