Hmm, a "fugitive" instance just to get at the method, didn't think of that, 
must try...
It may even be the only way in this case, because it seems to me that such 
an instance is created for each http request, so there isn't one 
"persistent" instance to get at... or maybe I'm just not good enough at 
backtracking through the class maze :-)

Thanks for the tip anyway,
