 * for creating and transmitting the notification when the
 * attribute changes, by implementing
 * {@link NotificationBroadcaster}.  For example, if a
 * bean increments the integer, <code>count</code>, it
 * should send a notification with the
 * <code>attributeName</code>, <code>"count"</code>,
 * the <code>attributeType</code>, <code>"Integer"</code>
 * and the old and new values of the attribute.
