You can't catch the exception and expect to carry on since your transaction is marked for rollback.

Equally inserting "delays" is not helping.

What you do is retry your whole transaction, if you use alfresco's retrying transaction helper (or the webscript framework) then it will do it for you.

The first create will go through no problem. Second create will throw an exception then succeed on the next retry. Subsequent iterations will also find the folder and work.

You know, it never occurred to me that a transaction would roll back when you catch the exception, but thanks a lot that explains it all I guess.
I never really had to work with RetryingTransactionHelper before so I'll do some reading up on it.

Thanks!
