Maybe i don't know how to do it but it seems strange to me. I have, lets say, a textbox with the following binding:

<textbox value"@load(vm.store.shoppingCart.itemsCount)" />

As soon as i open the page everything works fine and the textbox displays the correct number of items in the cart. Now, if i modify the ShoppingCart's contents the @NotifyChange does not reflect the changes back to the page:

@Command("add-item")
@NotifyChange("store.shoppingCart.itemsCount")
public void addItem(Item item) {
    store.shoppingCart.addItem(item);
}

What am i doing wrong? The only solution i found was to add the 'dummy' getter getCartItemsCount() directly into the ViewModel and bind the textbox to this getter:

value="@load(vm.getCartItemsCount)"

Another way is to make a @NotifyChange(".") but this is to 'heavy' for my page. Is there any other way so that the @NotifyChange mechanism can resolve the properties path?
