On Demand - Run This Process When Requested by AJAX
Processes can be defined at the individual page level or at the application level as
part of the shared components. Functionally, page processes and application processes
behave the same. The difference is where business logic is contained. For processes
that need to run on all pages, you can define an application process. Also, just as with
regions, you can use Global Pages to define processes that run on every page, but only
for page rendering.
