Using NServiceBus (v6), is there a way to ensure that a property is set in the SagaData object before the Saga Handler for a message is fired?
Our environment is multi-tenant so I want to ensure that the correct CustomerId is used for db access etc.. and that developers don't forget to pull this value from the incoming message/message header.
For example given this saga data ...
public interface ICustomerSagaData : IContainSagaData
{
Guid CustomerId { get; set; }
}
public class SomeProcessSagaData : ICustomerSagaData
{
// IContainSagaData and other properties removed for brevity ...
#region ICustomerSagaData properties
public virtual Guid CustomerId { get; set; }
#endregion
}
... and the following Saga ...
public class SomeProcessSagaSaga :
Saga<SomeProcessSagaData>,
IAmStartedByMessages<StartProcess>
{
public async Task Handle(StartProcess message, IMessageHandlerContext context)
{
// How do I ensure that Data.CustomerId is already set at this point?
}
// ConfigureHowToFindSaga etc ...
}
I initially tried inserting a behaviour into the pipeline e.g.
public class MyInvokeHandlerBehavior : Behavior<IInvokeHandlerContext>
{
public override async Task Invoke(IInvokeHandlerContext context, Func<Task> next)
{
// Ideally I'd like to set the CustomerId here before the
// Saga Handler is invoked but calls to ...
// context.Extensions.TryGet(out activeSagaInstance);
// return a null activeSagaInstance
await next().ConfigureAwait(false);
// This is the only point I can get the saga data object but
// as mentioned above the hander has already been invoked
ActiveSagaInstance activeSagaInstance;
if (context.Extensions.TryGet(out activeSagaInstance))
{
var instance = activeSagaInstance.Instance.Entity as ICustomerSagaData;
if (instance != null)
{
Guid customerId;
if (Guid.TryParse(context.Headers["CustomerId"), out customerId))
{
instance.CustomerId = customerId;
}
}
}
}
}
... but this only allows access to the SagaData instance after the handler has been fired.
