Configuring a Repetition

  1. Use the Add Key command to add a new variable, movieRole, whose type is set to the MovieRole entity.

    Don't create set and get methods for movieRole. You won't need accessor methods because the variable is used only within the MovieDetails component and shouldn't be visible to any other classes.

  2. Bind movieRoleDisplayGroup.displayedObjects to the repetition's list attribute.
