[TYPO3-mvc] How to access a repository from a flexform?

[Michael Knoll]

Hi Richard,

please mind, that using the Dispatcher here is deprecated. As far as I 
see, this is only left for compatibility reasons... check out 
Bootstrap... I will post a solution as soon as I have some time for that!

Greetings

Michael
