How to trigger property invalidation?

[Werner Lehmann]

Pavel,

unfortunately I cannot listen to changes on myProperty because it is not 
an observable property: MyBean is a domain bean provided by the server 
and those beans do not have observable properties. Thanks for the 
clarification though.

In my case this means that I have to clone the bean everytime when a 
slider position changes so that I can replace the property value I am 
actually observing (the MyBean property). Seems to be quick enough but 
is hardly elegant...
