I actually did like ERRest, but directly in my DirectAction
public WOActionResults statusAsJsonAction() {
//assuming dict exists
ERXRestRequestNode restResponseNode = null;
ERXRouteResults results = null;
try {
ERXRestContext context = new ERXRestContext();
restResponseNode =
ERXRestRequestNode.requestNodeWithObjectAndFilter(dict,
ERXKeyFilter.filterWithAll(), context);
results = new ERXRouteResults(context(), context,
ERXRestFormat.json(), restResponseNode);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
System.out.println(e);
}
return results;
I should get a better handling for the exceptions though;)
