Exists operation

The Exists operation checks to see whether a specified file exists.

If the file name in the request exists in the specified directory or any of the sub folders, the adapter returns True and the full path of the file to the calling component. If a file with the same name exists in more than one directory, the adapter returns True and the full path of the first file found to the calling component.

If the file name does not exist, or the directory does not exist, the adapter returns False to the calling component.
