JavaServer Faces

Invoke Application

When this phase is reached, all application bean properties bound to input components have been set. The processApplication( ) method is called on the UIViewRoot component, causing the broadcast() method of the source components for all events marked to be processed in any phase or in the Invoke Application phase to be called to notify the event handlers. The event handlers may call the FacesContext renderResponse() method, possibly after selecting a new view. If so, the processing continues in the Render Response phase. Alternatively, an event handler may render a response itself and call the FacesContext responseComplete( ) method, in which case the request processing is terminated.
