The quick and dirty is this:
Given:
The targetId String of the related component passed into this
component as a parameter:
resources is an injected instance of ComponentResources like so
@Inject
private ComponentResources resources;
Code:
Component comp = resources.getPage().getComponentResources()
.getEmbeddedComponent(targetId);
if (!(comp instanceof SearchResults)) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"targetId is not an instance of SearchResults");
}
return (SearchResults) comp;
Hope that helps.

Can you give me some small example code on how you were able to gain access
from one tag to the other? I am currently trying to create a matchfield
validator in which one text field must match the value of another and I am
pondering on how to access the second field.
I know the id of the second field (in theory), all I need to know is how to
obtain access to the other field (apart from cheating my way out by
accessing the httprequest I suppose).
Regards,
Martin
