Pre-launch Jobs

[Dleong@celsinc.com]

Is there a way to call an RPG program to start before a grid is even launched?
What I have in mind is that I need to build a file for an Extjs app to query every time an app is invoked.
Does Valence come with any facility to allow that to happen?
Or should I just do that in my javascript code?
Thanks.

    launch: function() {
        // Call to CELS400 to preload work file
        // Note: change initialView = false in Controller.Main
        Valence.util.Helper.msg('Processing', 'Building data...');
        Ext.Ajax.request({
            url: '/valence/vvcall.pgm',
            params: {
                pgm: 'CX0067',
                action: 'preLoad'
            },
            success: function(response) {
                var r = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
                r.rec = app.encodeProperties(r.rec);
                if (r.success) {
                    Ext.create('CX0067.view.Main');
                }
            }
        });

Valence does have an "Exit Program" labeled "Within VVCALL, app initialization" that can be specified in Portal Admin -> Settings. However, this would not send back any information back to your application so I think the launch function is the proper route to go.
