Perhaps you can create a =E2=80=9CDirectAction=E2=80=9D instead of =
trying to do it with a component action. Make methods in =
DirectAction.java. This might be your first cut.=20

Another option is to create REST routes (ERRest) - which are a =
specialized direct actions. This might be your second cut.=20
