That's the ugly part. As far as my understanding goes the method  
initializeConfigurationManagerAndFrameworkConfiguration() has to be  
called, but as it is protected the only way is to call the dispatch()  
method with the configuration. I actually tried to call a fake controller  
(the \FakeController actually needed to exist - but if it does not extend  
the base class an exception is thrown that might be catched to "stop" the  
method) - but it is way to ugly to do it this way.

So I solved this by the repository method. This way it works and it is  
comprehensible.
