To get the a screen from the party application into a
custom app screen do the following:

1) make sure the party app is using for it's decorator
location ${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}

2) make sure you have defined mainDecoratorLocation in
your custom app's WEB-INF/web.xml file

3) make the request to a uri in your app's
controller.xml

4) make that uri call a view

5) make that view call the screen from the party app

Following these steps will display that screen with
the decorator in your application (provided your
decorator has the same name that the party app's
screen is calling  (ie main-decorator)
