• <apex:commandButton> creates the button that calls an action

• <apex:commandLink> creates the link that calls an action

• <apex:actionPoller> periodically calls the action

• <apex:actionSupport> makes the event (such as “onclick”, “onmouseover”, and so on) on another, named component,call an action

• <apex:actionFunction> defines a new JavaScript function that calls the action

• <apex:page> calls an action when page is loaded

     Insert a new record or updates an existing record if it is currently in context. Unlike the save action, this page does not redirect user to another page.

operation is finished, edit action returns the user to the page where the user originally

invoked the action.

·        Delete:

action either refreshes the page or sends the user to tab for the associated object.
