Fw: How to prevent triggering a request to application on application loadField

Hi again,

I have solved this like that:

I removed the following code from JahiaApplicationField.load(...)

      logger.debug("Loading application field...");
      ContentApplicationField contentApplicationField = 
(ContentApplicationField)ContentApplicationField
        .getField(fieldBean.getId());
      logger.debug("value=" + value);

      String val = contentApplicationField.getValue(jData.params());

      value = JahiaTools.replacePattern(FormDataManager.getInstance()
        .htmlEncode(val), "@", "@");

and moved it to ApplicationFieldTag.readValue(...). This way the 
dispatching to the application works only with the <content:application> 
tag if the display flag is set to true [default]. For now I haven't 
encountered any problems, but I wonder if this solution can be contributed 
as you have to care about migration of existing applications and maybe 
somebody uses the integration of applications without the 
<content:application> tag, but using the JahiaApplicationField.getValue() 
directly.

Greetings,
Benjamin

Hello Serge, 

well, we could contribute, but moving the dispatching from load() to 
getValue() is not helping as in JahiaField.loadField(...) you first call 

theField.load (loadFlag, jParams); 

and right afterwards you call 

        if (theField.getValue () != null && theField.getValue ().equals 
("<empty>")) { 
            theField.setValue (""); 
        } 

So if we just move the dispatching to getValue() it will still be 
dispatched everytime a JahiaField.loadField() is called. Can you give us 
some more hints, how we could solve that and what we should care about. 

Greetings, 
Benjamin

Unfortunately not with the current implementation. This is one thing 
that has been on my todo list for some time but I never found the time 
to do it. My idea was to move the dispatching to the getValue call in 
the application field. I don't know when I'll get around to do this, but 
another way to speed it up is to contribute it :)

cheers,
 Serge...
