The image shows a flowchart of a page request in an A D F Faces application. Starting with a Faces Request, the steps are:
-
Restore View: If it is an initial render or if no data has been submitted by the page, the process jumps to Render Response. Else, it processes events and jumps to the next step.
-
Apply Request Values: If the action source component is set to immediate, the process jumps to Render Response. Else it processes events and jumps to the next step.
-
Process Validations: If validation fails, the process jumps to Render Response. Else it processes events and jumps to the next step.
-
Update Model Values: The process handles events and jumps to the next step.
-
Invoke Application: The process handles events and jumps to the last step, Render Response.
-
Render Response: This is the final step. The Faces Response is returned to the page.
