Regions and dynamic regions are initially refreshed in the ADF Lifecycle prepareModel phase when the binding container of the containing page is refreshed. On subsequent requests, the region or dynamic region will be refreshed during the ADF Lifecycle prepareRender phase depending on its taskFlow binding Refresh and RefreshCondition attributes and parameter values. Task flow definitions associated with dynamic regions are only switched during the ADF Lifecycle prepareRender phase.
For further information on ADF region taskFlow binding Refresh and RefreshCondition attributes, refer to the Fusion Developer’s Guide for ORACLE ADF section 17.1.7 “What You May Need to Know About Refreshing an ADF Region”.
