ADF Page LifeCycle Stages

Some of the properties like immediate, refresh, refreshCondition, deferred can be understood better only if we have knowledge of ADF Page Lifecycle.

The flow for ADF Page lifecycle is :
Restore --> jsfRestore --> initContext --> Prepare Model --> Apply Request Values --> Process Validations 
--> Update Model  Values--> Validate Model Updates --> jsfInvoke Application --> Metadata Commit
-->  before JSF Render Response --> Prepare Render --> after JSF Render Response

• If immediate = true : Validations, conversions and events associated with the component are processed during Apply Request Values phase. And, Process Validations, Update Model Values and Invoke Application phases are skipped.
