difference between partial submit and auto submit in adf

https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/partial_submit_vs_auto_submit

partialSubmit

Default Value: false
whether the action should be done through a partial page submit or not. Default is false: no partial page submit; the full page will be refreshed. When set to true, the full page will not be refreshed. To re-render specific components on your page in response to the partial page submit, you have to tell ADF Faces. The easiest way to do this is with the partialTriggers attribute.
