What's this?

validate?() public

Returns whether or not the association should be validated as part of the parent’s validation.

Unless you explicitly disable validation with :validate => false, validation will take place when:

you explicitly enable validation; :validate => true
you use autosave; :autosave => true
the association is a has_many association
