To access the ajax function use this url: /webtop/facade/ftajax.cfm?typename=abc&fieldname=def&property=ghi&formtool=jkl
If the ajax function uses any of the object fields (including its own) those should be passed back as post parameters. That facade will take care of figuring out which ajax function (formtool.ajax, type.ftAjaxGHI, type[stMetadata.ftAjaxMethod], etc) to use.
