I have it working now. My misunderstanding was that I had to rebuild
the entire repeater row myself. But it looks like all I needed to do
was clear the repeater, then add a row. The addition of the row gave
me back an empty RepeaterRow with all of objects according to the XML
definition. The working code looks something like the following:
(Repeater)event.getSourceWidget().getForm().lookupWidget("accountList");
accounts.clear();
Repeater.RepeaterRow rr = accounts.addRow();
Group accountGroup = (Group)rr.getChild("account");
Widget accountNameField = accountGroup.getChild("displayPath");
accountNameField.setValue("accountval");
