File is a directory?

Hi,

I've the following function:

staticpublicvoid setFileContents(File aFile, String aContents)

throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{

if (!aFile.isFile()){

thrownew IllegalArgumentException("Should not be a directory: " + aFile);

}

[...]

and I call it in this way:

File fn =new File("foo.txt");

[...]

setContents(fn,"Hi there");

foo.txt does not exists. Why do I receive the IllegalArgumentException Should not be a directory?

Is it because, since file does not exist, it's not a file? I.e., should it enclose within a

if(aFile.exists(){

if (!aFile.isFile()){

thrownew IllegalArgumentException("Should not be a directory: " + aFile);

}

}

Thanks.
