Jigsaw removes Resource!

I do not claim that I completely understand the Jigsaw Resource Management,
but I think found something which could cause my problem.

In FileResource.java I found the method:

    /**
     * Is that resource still wrapping an existing file ?
     * If the underlying file has disappeared <string> and if</strong> the
     * container directory is extensible, remove the resource.
     */
    public synchronized boolean verify() {
 File file = getFile();
 if ( ! file.exists() ) {
     // Is the parent extensible:
     HTTPResource p = getParent() ;
     while ((p != null) && ! (p instanceof DirectoryResource) )
  p = p.getParent() ;
     if ( p == null )
  return false;
     DirectoryResource d = (DirectoryResource) p;
     if ( ! d.getExtensibleFlag() )
  return false;
     // Emit an error message, and delete the resource:
     String msg = file+": deleted, removing the FileResource.";
     getServer().errlog(this, msg);
     delete();
     return false;
 } else {
     return true;
 }
    }

This piece of code looks to me like if the file does not exists this methos
returns false; if the files exists it returns true.

Now this class is subclassed by PostableResource.java, which overwrites this
method.

    /**
     * The verify method of a postable resource will always return <strong>
     * false</strong>.
     * Any PostableResource has to be removed manually.
     * @return Always <strong>false</strong>.
     */
    public boolean verify() {
 return false;
    }

But this method returns always false, which means the file/resource does not
exist. Is this correct???

Can this cause the problem, that my PostableResource will be removed by
Jigsaw every 3-4 days showing this line in errlog:

iaik.jigsaw.resources.RegMailPasswordResource@/JavaSecurity/Register:
C:\Development\Jigsaw\Jigsaw\WWW\JavaSecurity\Register: deleted, removing
the FileResource.
