Hi onActivate() is called each time a page is loaded. So if you have a form on a page, onActivate() will be called on both at the time of rendering and submit/action phase
So if you have to initialize any variables before showing them in a form do it in prepareForRender event of the form and if you want to do some thing after submiting the form do it in prepareForSubmit event of the form. If you want to do something common in both phases do it in prepare event of the form.
