The shale AbstractFacesBean class has a very similar helper method called
getBean().
String init = (String) ((Map) getBean("param")).get("init");
About the same number of characters to type. I've not worked in a portal
environment but it's
reassuring to know that an application built in JSF can run in either without
retooling.
That seems worth a couple key strokes.
