Here is an overview of the issue:

        Key: JCR-10
    Summary: save() might create new transient properties
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major
 Resolution: FIXED

    Project: Jackrabbit

   Assignee: Stefan Guggisberg
   Reporter: Felix Meschberger

Description:
It seems that when a new node is saved through the parent node, new properties might get created, which are not saved. To persist those properties the new node must be saved again.

Example:

(Consider a mixin type "extVer" extending the standard type mix:versionable.)

      Node node = parent.addNode("newNode", "nt:base");
      node.addMixin("extVer");
      // "mix:versionable" properties do not exist here
      
      // save the new node
      parent.save();

      // now "mix:versionable" properties like "jcr:isCheckedOut"
      // exist in the "node" but:
      //    node.getProperty("jcr:isCheckedOut").isNew() == true
      // fix:
      node.save();

If the last node.save() opertation would not be done, a RepositoryException would result if a node.checkIn() would be done immediately after parent.save().

This seems counterintuitive and seems like an error. I wonder whether the properties should not be added upon "node.addMixin" ? At least "parent.save()" should (or might I say must ?) not only add the properties but also save them.
