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.
