Feature request: IActivationFilter

[SebastianStehle]

In obit you have this extension interface: https://github.com/orbit/orbit/blob/master/actors/core/src/main/java/cloud/orbit/actors/extensions/LifetimeExtension.java

I thing it would be great to introduce IActionFilter with a similar signature to IIncomingGrainCallFilter.

Use cases:

1. Custom storage solutions
2. Logging
3. Exception handling
4. Integration to Orleans Dashboard

Cross-referencing Ability to intercept OnActivateAsync for grain

How should the API look, @SebastianStehle / others?

[SebastianStehle]

The IIncomingGrainCallFilter and IIncomingGrainCallContext is great. Would be good to have something similar with a Invoke delegate to control when your code is running.

+1 on this request. We have a need for the same. It would be great to have something like IIncomingGrainCallFilter for activations and de-activations

Is this something that is in scope for the 4.0 release?

[ReubenBond]

@mkowalskigps if there's an API proposal, then we could. A PR would be welcome, too (and I can personally help anyone who's willing to give it a go, just message in Discord). It's a feature I believe we should implement.

Is there progress on this issue?
