The JSON response is only recognized for Ajax requests; Tapestry differentiates between traditional requests and Ajax requests when handling the return value from an event handler method.
When you use the zone parameter of an action link, Tapestry adds JavaScript to observe the click event on the client side, and to send an Ajax request to the server, and then update the zone's content based on the reply. If you want to do other kinds of Ajax updates, you need to write your own JavaScript code to observe the click event, send the Ajax request and interpret the response.
