newbie - Lifecycle explanation for Visual Web?

I am not only new to JSF, Netbeans, and Visual Web, I am completely new to web app development period!

I have done some Visual Web tutorials and trying stuff on my own, but am unfortunately confused about the total lifecycle of the web app, when does what get called

- i.e. in the Page Beans, when are the various methods called, init, preprocess, prerenderer, etc, and what state is the bean in during those points? There are some nice comments for the methods but I'm just not completely comprehending the flow and data lifecycle.

By any chance would someone be able to point me to a document that thoroughly discusses how these beans and methods are used and the lifecycle of the processing of the pages?

or provide a brief synopsis?

Sorry for the really raw question, thanks for any guidance!

You'll have to do some searching in the archives. There used to
be such a document.  Try looking through
