      Specified by:

      protected boolean isUrlRequired()

      The default implementation returns true. This can be overridden in subclasses.

      Check whether the underlying resource that the configured URL points to actually exists.
      Parameters:
      locale - the desired Locale that we're looking for
      Returns:
      true if the resource exists (or is assumed to exist); false if we know that it does not exist
