That would work.

That sounds a lot like a REST interface. Have you looked at ERRest in Project Wonder?

It's a lazy man's Serialized Session Store. Does this sound like an appropriate use of awake and sleep? I also mention it in case it will mess with any response changes suggested for the redirect action. Thanks.
I would not call it a Serialized Session Store, but I am not sure how it will play with ERRest.
