Hi all,
I'd like to clarify some fundamentals about how event handlers work in Acumatica, specifically around naming conventions and method discovery. I have a few basic questions:
1. How exactly does Acumatica's framework discover and invoke event handlers under the hood? Is it purely reflection-based at graph initialization, looking for specific naming/signature patterns, or is there more to it?
2. Is naming a method in the classic convention (e.g., CustSalesPeople_RowInserting) sufficient on its own for Acumatica to recognize and call it?
3. Would an arbitrary/non-standard name like _RowInserted (as opposed to the generic handler's required bare underscore _) be recognized as a valid event handler by the framework? My understanding is no - it would compile fine as a regular method but never actually be invoked, since it doesn't match either the classic DAC_EventType pattern or the generic _ pattern. Can someone confirm this is correct?
I'm trying to nail down the exact rules here since this seems to be a common source of confusion (silent failures where a handler is misnamed/mistyped and never fires, but there's no compile error to catch it).
Appreciate any clarification or pointers to official documentation that spells this out.
Thanks!
