Class CreditPerson

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.cam.cl.databases.moviedb.model.CreditPerson

Direct Known Subclasses:

CreditActor, CreditWriter

public class CreditPerson
extends Object

A CreditPerson appears in various fields of a Movie object, and establishes links to all the people who worked on that movie, as part of the cast (actors and actresses) or crew (directors, producers, composers, etc).

For actors and actresses on a movie, CreditActor (a subclass of CreditPerson) is used instead. For writers of a movie, CreditWriter (another subclass) is used. For all other people who worked on the movie, this class is used.

This object does not have the full information about the person in question -- it only has the ID (getPersonId()) and the name (getName()) of the person. If you need to find more properties of the person, you can use MovieDB.getPersonById(int) to fetch the full Person object.

When you look at a Person object, the movies that person has worked on are given as lists of BiographyItem objects. So BiographyItem is like CreditPerson, but in the opposite direction (from a person to a movie).
