Getting a page title from a page label

Question

I need to get a localized title of a page using a page definition label. The page is not in the current presentation context, but is on a different page and inside a book. I've tried using the recursive calls in the Desktop Backing Context and the Desktop Presentation Context, but since the page is not currently displayed, I can't get the context by using the recursive calls.
Is there a way to get the page's title without iterating through all of the children on the desktop?

Answer 1

I have the following code:
CustomizationContext customizationContext = new CustomizationContext(Locale.ENGLISH);
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DesktopDefinitionManagerHome ddHome = (DesktopDefinitionManagerHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/DesktopDefinitionManager"),DesktopDefinitionManagerHome.class);
DesktopDefinitionManager deskMgr = ddHome.create();
DesktopDefinition[] defns = deskMgr.getDesktopDefinitions(customizationContext,"EnterprisePortalWeb");
If I use a webapp name that doesn't exist, defns comes back without error but empty. If I use an existing webapp name, I have the following error:
