I cannot really say it is solved based on the subject of the thread, but
regarding what I was actually trying to do, it is solved.
I picked up just what was needed to generate the Json response in my
DirectAction class so I could keep what I was using the generate the url.
Thanks anyway, it gave me some time to look at ERRest:)
