IMHO, a better technique is to bubble up an event. It's better because it
doesn't require the component to know anything about its container.
In the example below, PersonUpdate bubbles up UPDATED like this...
componentResources.triggerEvent(UPDATED, new Object[] { person }, null);
...which the page catches with...
void onUpdatedFromPersonUpdate(Person person) {...}
...and refreshes the zone.
