Hello Robert,
Have you tried it without the AJAX to see what the results would look like?
I would try to subscribe to the <domNode>.event.validation.endTopic to
capture any results any display them in a JavaScript alert to see what you
get. If you are satisfied with the response, set the props on the Woodstock
alert.
