In your action, when you bind the submitted form to your form class then the validators kick in. So process kinda is:
- Action checks if form submitted, and it has not, so create instance of form class with defaults and let view display form. - User interacts with form (and your client-side javascript validation if any) and submits succesfully. - Action checks if form submitted, it has, so bind the post parameters to an instance of the form class and validators will kick in to check. - If error on bind, return to view that displays errors otherwise if no validation errors continue processing...
