I looked at the tutorial. What I noticed is that changing the attributes is done by first choose Edit Geometry, than choose Edit and the Default Feature Editor is shown. Changing the attribute this way is working correctly because my own FeatureWriter (but I think also FeatureWriters of other datastores) noticed that the Geometry is changed. This way also the different between the attributes can be written back to, in my case the database.
But I wanted to be sure if I see things the right way. If I do not use Edit Geometry, but select the Info icon on the toolbar. Click on a geometry to make the Default Feature Editor visible (or active). Changing attributes that way and next commit them to write them back to the datastore will not trigger the FeatureWriter that a Feature is changed. The geometry is not marked as being changed (like Edit Geometry does). Is this true or not?

Now what it does not do well in that demo is notice when the WFS changes (the tutorial asks you to hit refresh). Notifications are not part of the WFS specification.
