distinguish between file and directory using java

I have rather a very basic question but somehow it is confusing to me. Normally to check the existence of both file and directory we can do so by using boolean file.exists()
However i am wondering, is there any way that one can determine if given path is a directory or a file.

It would be nice if you can provide some short example using java.
