Browse for datapath should not allow files to get selected

In the current scenario when we select the xml path or data path in a DCT, the user is able to select a file ,due to which ,when the user tries to generate the dct , the user is getting a pt error. So can there be a way that if the user selects a file instead of an folder , the user should be validated and given a message that the path is invalid.

ie. while browsing path for datapath a file named "myteam" can be selected using browse button
/templatedata/bac_enterprise/Team_Members/data/en_US/myteam
But is there any way to restrict this to
/templatedata/bac_enterprise/Team_Members/data/en_US

Please help!

Well, you could create your own browser UI which could prevent users from selecting files (perhaps based on a flag passed in, so that the code can be more generally used) or you can add validation code to your DCT, which will probably have to make a callServer() call to validate the path on the file system (either in Perl or Java or whatever).
