Rails - May 2005 - saving question

Say Item has_many Images.

item = Item.new(stuff)
image = Image.new(bad_stuff)
item.image = image
item.save

I don''t want item.save to work if the image is not working right for
whatever reason.  How does that work?  Would I use
validates_associated :image in Item?  And then create Image#validate?

Thanks,
Joe

Remember that all the validates_* methods really just append to the
default Image#validate.  Every AR object has a validate method, even
if it just inherits one from AR.
