First, this is more on-topic at comp.lang.java.gui.
Second, your views shouldn't modify any part of the model based while
responding to a change in the model.

If you should implement a single model that represents all
interconnected aspects of your business domain, and have all of your
components able to read values from the model.

Having a model observer modify the model runs the risk of infinit
recursion or infinit loops.
