Well, that is my solution right now. Alas, it is not very elegant. But your
suggestion in the first place:
"PageImpl searchPage = (PageImpl) rootFolder.getPage("search.psml");"
could do the job. Is this code getting the fragment you want? Can't you
access fragments from other PSML files?

Yes, exactly. I wrote my own "PortletLayout" implementation, where I
control, which fragments get put into which request parameters. So my
decorator accesses the request parameters it expects (I have a navigation
portlet, just on top of my page, not included in the normal
MultiPortlet-Table-Grid).
Here one could try to get fragments (-> Portlets) from other PSML pages; in
fact - Jetspeed knows about all its portlets which were deployed. So if you
could access the portlet you want this way, you don't even have to define it
in a PSML file. But I am not sure how and if that's possible.
>Is this your point? Is this the only (working) solution?
I don't think so, other (better) solutions must be possible.
