ADF Code Examples: af:commandButton [deprecated]

This post provides different flavors of af:commandButton usage however the component itself has been deprecated in favor of af:button (super button) in 12c. A command button generates an action event  on the server following a button press which largely differs from the behavior of a goButton.
