[Yanel-dev] exists method of BasicXMLResource

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

The current exists() method of the BasicXMLResource checks a node within 
the default repository


    /**
     * @see org.wyona.yanel.core.api.attributes.ViewableV2#exists()
     */
    public boolean exists() throws Exception {
        return getRealm().getRepository().existsNode(getPath());
    }


but this is often not true for extended resources.

Actually I think this method should be abstract, but I guess for 
backwards compatibility we cannot change this.

Hence I suggest that we just return true and add a log WARN statement, 
that this method should be overwritten.

WDYT?

Thanks

Michi
