I'm using Java API to create and update blog entries.

When I retrieve an entry with empty title Entry.getTitle() gives in fact some portion of the entry content. It is very convenient when I display the list of existing entries. However, when I want to update such entry I cannot determine whether that entry originally had an empty title or not.

Web client at blogger.com handles such case correctly of course. It shows content portion is the list of entries and empty title in the editor.

So my question is how to deal with empty titles in Java API.

This is a bug on our part, I believe. Posts without titles shouldn't have a <title>, and it should be up to clients to generate a title from the post body (if they need one for display).

Thx for the report!
