Hi

ApacheDs and probably also Shared has in many locations file operations like File.[delete|mkdir|...] where the return value (true|false) is unchecked. In Java-1.7 exists static methods for this in java.nio.file.Files [1] where an IOException is thrown if the operation fails, in < Java-1.7 a SecurityException is thrown only in some special cases and in all other cases the return value is 'false' and no Exception is thrown [2]. IMO we should check the return value of these operations and throw an IOException if the file/directory couldn't be created/delete/renamed ...
If wanted I'll create a JIRA and go for it.

WDOT?

Regards
Felix
