Please note that some source implementations don't return a correct answer. For example, the SitemapSource (for cocoon://) always returns true when asking for exists(), see: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/trunk/core/cocoon-core/src/main/j ava/org/apache/cocoon/components/source/impl/SitemapSource.java I don't know about other source implementations, but this one caused me some trouble...
