Where do you want to verify if a specific directory or file exists? On the client or on the middle tier? You could try to create a file in the directory you want to check (or try to open the file in read mode to check if a file exists) with client_text_io (client) or text_io (middle tier). By that you would also be sure that you have read/write privilages in the directory. If you don't want to create / read a file (on the client) there is the possibility to create a java bean which checks this with the File class (isFile() or isDirectory())
