Let me try to explain: First, we have a way of gathering 'constraints' for bean properties, that are based either on validator annotations on the bean, or on a settings environment (the beanClass & propertyPath are derived from the model of the formComponent). The endresult is a list of IConstraint's:
List<IConstraint> beanConstraints = EntityUtils.getConstraints( ModelUtils.findBeanClass(this), ModelUtils.getPropertyPath(this)); On initialization of the formComponent, we gather these constraints, and if any are available, we add a ConstraintValidator to the component for each constraint: for (IConstraint constraint : beanConstraints) { validators.add(new ConstraintValidator(this,constraint)); } So after initalization, the formComponent contains a list of validator based on constraints defined on the property on which it works. The rest is done by Wicket, when calling the validators in formComponent.validate().
