autoSubmit attribute on an input component and the partialSubmit attribute on a command component are not the same thing. When partialSubmit is set to true, then only the components that have values for their partialTriggers attribute will be processed through the lifecycle. The autoSubmit
attribute is used by input and select components to tell the framework
to automatically do a form submit whenever the value changes. However,
when a form is submitted and the autoSubmit attribute is set to true, a valueChangeEvent event is invoked, and the lifecycle runs only on the components marked as root components for that event, and their children.Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/web.1111/b31973/af_ppr.htm
