Problem in SAP XI

Question

Hi,
I am trying to check wether file exist in the target folder in my scenario.
I got following java code which is working fine in java environment.
boolean blnFile= false;
AbstractTrace  trace = container.getTrace();
try
     try
     URL url = new URL("ftp://abdur:abdur@/fin.flg;type=i");
     con = url.openConnection();
     blnFile = true;
     catch(Exception e)
     blnFile = false;
                                                                                if(blnFile == true)
               trace.addWarning("fin.flg Found !!!");
          else
          trace.addWarning("fin.flg NOT Found !!!");
catch(Exception e)
trace.addWarning("FTP Main Function Error.");
But when i wrote same code in SAP XI (message mapping under function tab in init function) it is not working . It is always giving file found.

Hi,
i think this behaviour is because the code is excecuted from the PI server, the ftp url is accessable from your computer but not from the server.
btw: The file adapter provides some nice settings to control the process depending from existing files. Please have a look to "Processing Tab Page" in [SAP help: Configuring the Receiver File/FTP Adapter|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm]
