We would like to know how to check not existance without following the symbolic links.
import java.nio.file.FileSystems; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.LinkOption; import java.nio.file.Path; /*w w w .j ava 2s.c om*/ public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Path path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("/home/docs/users.txt"); System.out.println(Files.notExists(path, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)); } }
The code above generates the following result.
