I have a Entity with a property:
/**
* @var string $name
*
* @Assert\NotBlank(groups={"foobar"})
* @ORM\Column(name="name", type="string", length=225, nullable=false)
*/
private $name;
The Form:
class MyType extends AbstractType
{
public function buildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('name');
}
public function getDefaultOptions(array $options)
{
return array(
'data_class' => '...',
'validation_group' => array('foobar'),
);
}
public function getName()
{
...
}
}
In the Controller I bind the Request and call $form->isValid()
But how to define the validation_group?

You can also define validation groups dynamically:
// MyCustomType.php
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'validation_groups' => function (FormInterface $form) {
$data = $form->getData();
if (Client::TYPE_PERSON == $data->getType()) {
return array('person');
}
return array('company');
},
));
}

I made a little blog post related to this problem: http://marcjuch.li/blog/2013/04/21/how-to-use-validation-groups-in-symfony/
In this post I’m going to show how to use validation groups in symfony with the example of an order form which should offer the possibility to use separate billing and shipping adresses. This includes 3 steps:

For me, on symfony 2.1, i solved it by adding 'Default' in validation_groups like:
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'Acme\MyBundle\Entity\MyEntity',
'validation_groups' => array('Default', 'registration')
));
}

I had exactly the same problem. I solved it that way ...
// Entity
$employee = new Employee();
// Form creation
$form = $this->createForm(new EmployeeForm(), $employee, array('validation_groups'=>'registration'));
I hope that helps!

From inside your FormType class you can define the validation groups associated to that type by setting your default options:
public function getDefaultOptions(array $options)
{
return array(
'data_class' => 'Acme\MyBundle\Entity\MyEntity',
'validation_groups' => array('group1', 'group2'),
);
}

When building the form in the controller, add a 'validation_groups' item to the options array:
$form = $this->createFormBuilder($users, array(
'validation_groups' => array('foobar'),
))->add(...)
;
It is described in the forms page of the symfony2 book: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/forms.html#validation-groups
