Setting Up a Master-Detail Configuration
109
1. In the MovieDetails component window, add the bolded text Starring:
beneath the Revenue line.
2. Below the Starring label, add a repetition.
3. Replace the “Repetition” text with three string elements.
The strings should all be on the same line, so don’t type carriage
returns between them.
4. Type a space between the first two strings and the word “ as ” (with a
space before and after) between the last two.
5. Add a carriage return after the last string.
Configuring a Repetition
Now configure MovieDetails’ repetition in a way similar to the way Main’s
repetition is configured. First you need to create a new variable to bind to
the repetition’s
item attribute.
1. Use the Add Variable/Method 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.
3. Bind movieRole to the repetition’s item attribute.
4. Bind movieRole . talent . firstName to the value attribute of the first string in the
repetition.
5. Bind movieRole . talent . lastName to the value attribute of the second string.
6. Bind movieRole . roleName to the value attribute of the last string.
