is render view method or request follows action method or request execution?

We can't say its view method or view render request. 

Portlet container invokes the render method in the same portlet mode as the preceding action method, unless the action method changes the portlet mode.

i.e if suppose action request came from Edit mode, then portlet container calls edit render method.


In General, We generate Action requests from View mode. so after this action request execution,  view render method will be executed.
