i tested with the following code fragment:

            String nodeName = "Test Node";
            Node test;
            if (!root.hasNode(nodeName)) {
                test = root.addNode(nodeName, "exp:article");
                test.setProperty("exp:created", Calendar.getInstance());
                test.setProperty("exp:title", "Its a test title");
                test.setProperty("exp:body", "blah blah blah");
                root.save();
            } else {
                test = root.getNode(nodeName);
            }
            dumpTree(test, System.out);


i was unable to reproduce the problem you described. are you accessing the
repository through rmi? if the problem persists please provide the complete
stack trace and a complete simple test program (incl. your configuration etc).

cheers
