 * Base implementation of

 * should invoke {@link #markDirty()} after the internal state of the object changes.
 *
 * Due to the concurrent nature of session attributes it's important that markDirty occurs <strong>after</strong>
 * the object has been changed. If the change occurs before the object has been mutated it's possible that another
 * thread may re-store the object before the changes are actually made!
