accessing a portlet's content without the controller

[Glenn Golden <gg...@umich.edu>]

Hey developers -
 
Is there any way to make available to a (screen) template (something like
Maximize.vm) the contents of a particular portlet without the portlet
control?
 
Something like the JetspeedTool's getPortlet(), but using the portlet
itself, not the containing control?
 
I can see adding a method to the JetspeedTool, extending the object, and
using the extended object in the tr.p:
 
 
tool.request.jetspeed=org.apache.jetspeed.util.template.JetspeedToolExtended

 
but before I do this, I want to know if there's an already done easier way!
 
Thanks.

- Glenn
