42 * Defines the notification used to let listeners know of
43 * an attribute change. The bean itself is responsible
44 * for creating and transmitting the notification when the
45 * attribute changes, by implementing
46 * {@link NotificationBroadcaster}. For example, if a
47 * bean increments the integer, <code>count</code>, it
48 * should send a notification with the
49 * <code>attributeName</code>, <code>"count"</code>,
50 * the <code>attributeType</code>, <code>"Integer"</code>
51 * and the old and new values of the attribute.
