Hi, here's what I use on the java side:

    // shortcut for global shared attributes
    public void setSharedAttr(ClientServices client, String attribute,
Object value)
    {
    	setClientAttr(client, attribute, value, null, null, 1);    	
    }

    // call this instead of client.setAttr directly.
     public void setClientAttr(ClientServices client, String
attribute, Object value,
     												String namespace, String room, int flags)
     {
         String fullname = (namespace == null)? null : namespace + "." + room;
         client.setAttribute(attribute, value, fullname, flags);
         UPCMessage msg = new UPCMessage("upcOnClientAttributeUpdate");
         msg.addArg(room);
         msg.addArg(namespace);
         msg.addArg(client.getClientID());
         msg.addArg(attribute);
         msg.addArg(value.toString());
         client.broadcastClient(UPCBuilder.build(msg));
     }



Then to use, I just do something like this: (still in java)
   String lastName = "Smithson";
   setSharedAttr(client, "lastName", lastName);
