I am using jface databinding feature to bind between GUI objects and model
objects. When the GUI is created, the DataBindingContext is used to bind
GUI objects and model. During the operation of the application, the model
data might be changed (model structure is not changed.). How could I use
DataBindingContext to re-bind the GUI objects to the changed model data.

Your objects have expose an observer pattern in your model API, and use
an IObservable tailored to use that specific observer pattern.
Currently there are two options supported by Eclipse:
* Implement the official bean specification, and use BeansObservables to
observe bean properties.
* Implement model objects using EMF, and use EMFObservables to observe
EStructuralFeatures.
I'm not very familiar with EMF so I won't be much help there. However
with the bean spec there are just a few methods required:
public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)
public void addPropertyChangeListener(String propertyName,
PropertyChangeListener listener)
public void removePropertyChangeListener(String propertyName,
PropertyChangeListener listener)
This is commonly implemented using by extending a superclass such as
ModelObject as you have seen in the examples. The common pattern I use
in my setter methods is:
public void setName(String name) {
firePropertyChange("name", this.name, this.name = name);
}
Hope this helps,
Matthew

Let me explain what I am trying to ask:
For example, I have a model called Contact which has a name attribute. The
name field of the Contact is binded to a GUI text field called nameText.
When the GUI class is constructed, the following is called:
private Contact contact;
private Text nameText;
private DataBindingContext bindingContext;
....
//In constructor
IObservableValue contactNameObserveValue =
BeansObservables.observeValue(contact, "name");
IObservableValue nameTextTextObserveWidget =
SWTObservables.observeText(nameText, SWT.Modify);
bindingContext.bindValue(nameTextTextObserveWidget,
contactNameObserveValue, null, null);
For some reason, during the operation of the application, the contact
object is replaced with a new contact object. (Not the property name of
the contact object is changed but contact object itself is changed.) How
could I rebind the newly created contact object to nameText object?
thanks!

WritableValue v = new WritableValue(Contact.class);
BeansObservable.observeDetailValue(v,"name");
v.setValue(new Contact());
So in fact this is a master-detail problem :-)

You don't use updateTargets().
wv = new WritableValue(Contact.class);
wv.setValue(new Contact());
// ..... work
wv.setValue(new Contact());
