Unfortunately, there is a serious limitation as to what you can do with Ajax in portlet mode: you can't generate any portlet url with the AjaxDirect service. The reason being that AjaxDirect does not and cannot use the PortletLinkFactory (since it operates in servlet mode). This is a limitation of the JSR168 spec.
Hopefully, the new portlet 2.0 spec (JSR286) will overcome this limitation.
