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

Hi Benjamin,

I'm sorry I didn't have time to answer this thread earlier.

Jahia fields have to values, the "rawValue" and the "value". The 
rawValue is the value that comes from the database. My idea was move the 
code to the getValue() and in the load method not yet set the value, but 
do it *one time only* in the getValue call. This should be the least 
intrusive way of doing it.

What I mean is that you should overload the getValue from JahiaField 
into JahiaApplicationField, and put the logic there. Something along the 
lines of

public String getValue() {
  if (fieldValue == null) {
    /** app dispatching comes here *//
    fieldValue = ...
  }
}

As for your solution, I don't think it's that practical because I know 
of a lot of templates that will access the field value through 
JahiaField.getValue call.

Regards,
  Serge Huber.
