Rajesh:
There's actually a way to directly determine if a certain directory exists
from within Java (have a look in the java.io.File for the isDirectory()
method), but if you want to do it with an os call, there's a little class
called "OSProcess" in our expresso framework that will run any arbitrary
command line, wait until a certain timeout for it to return (in case the
command hangs), and tell you the return value.
If that's what you need, feel free to download the framework at
http://www.javacorporate.com. Also, the javadoc is online at
http://www.javacorporate.com/javadoc/index.html
We've just put out a new release that fixes a few bugs as well, version
1-01b
