Hi Anoop and Vladimir,
Thanks for your reply. I think adding an attribute to each Mutation is
not the flexibility level we want -- also we do not want that level of
overhead. Having a singleton class acting as a global variable for a
table, using endpoint to set and letting observer to read, is more
desirable.

This will need you have to pass the attr with every Mutation. If this
level
of dynamic nature you dont want, then as Andy said can impl Observer and
Endpoint and some Singleton object which both can share..
