Actually, it 's fairly easy!! If you create a File object for the file
or directory you are wanting to check and then test to see
if the methods getPath() and getCanonicalPath() return the
same stuff. the method getCanonicalPath() will give you the
location of the real file whereas getPath() just returns the
path you used to create the File Object.

Hi,
I'm afraid you can't. The symbolic link it's something controlled on the OS level, and it's fully transpaernt to the user.
