importChart is not throwing an Exception

[User (Legacy)]

If I attempt to import a chart using importChart(FileFormat format, String

filePath) and I give importChart a completely bogus file (like a .gif for

example), I will get the following error message in my log:

[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.

at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source)

at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source)

at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(Unknown Source)

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internal.xvzv.ZZyz(Unknown Source)

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.yxyy.<init>(Unknown Source)

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX._ChartCore.XXzW(Unknown Source)

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX._ChartCore.yXzW(Unknown Source)

at SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Chart.importChart(Unknown Source)

 But the method does not throw Throwable, Exception, or Error, so I cannot

catch this error and attempt to rectify it.  Is there any way I can test

beforehand whether a file I attempt to import will work so that I can catch

it and try something else?

Thanks,

This is an oversight and would be fixed pretty soon -

Till then this is what you can try:

if( new java.io.File("file-name").exists()  )

    import chart--

Thanks,
