Spring 容器像一台构造精妙的机器,我们通过配置文件向机器传达控制信息,机器就能够按照设定的模式进行工作。如果我们将Spring容器比喻为一辆汽车,可以将 BeanFactory看成汽车的发动机,而ApplicationContext则是 整辆汽车,它不但包括发动机,还包括离合器、变速器以及底盘、车身、电气设备等其他组件。在ApplicationContext内,各个组件按部就班、 有条不紊地完成汽车的各项功能。
ApplicationContext内部封装 了一个BeanFactory对象,来实现对容器的操作,初始化完成之后,BeanFactory封装了bean的信息,而 ApplicationContext通过访问这个对象获取bean的对象信息(BeanDefinition/Bean对象,都是由 BeanFactory实际创建并管理的),为了实现接口的统一,ApplicationContext也实现了一系列的BeanFactory接口(可 以说ApplicationContext对BeanFactory对象实现一种代理)。ApplicationContext建立在 BeanFactory的基础之上,对配置对象的管理最终还是交于一个DefaultListableBeanFactory来完成(装配地址/访问 等),而ApplicationContext在应用这个DefaultListableBeanFactory对象的基础上,不 仅实现了BeanFactory接口提供的功能方法,并且黏合了一些面向应用的功能,如资源/国际化支持/框架事件支持等,并且将一些原先需要手动设置到 BeanFactory的属性通过配置文件中配置的形式代替(如工厂后处理器 BeanPostProcessor/InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor)
同样,因为对于BeanDefinition和 bean对象的管理是由上下文持有的beanfactory对象完成的,用户不需要拥有这样的接口,因此,ApplicationContext的接口体 系中并没有BeanDefinitionRegistry,SingletonBeanRegistry以及 AutowireCapableBeanFactory接口(ApplicationContext可以访问一些接口方法在上述接口中也定义,但这些方法 提供者为BeanFactory体系中的其他接口,BeanFactory接口体系中的接口之间有重复定义方法的)。
内部工作机制(Spring容器ApplicationContext的初始化
(一) 首先来看创建ApplicationContext ,以ClassPathXmlApplicationContext为例:
ApplicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(xmlPath);
源码如下:
public class ClassPathXmlApplicationContext extends AbstractXmlApplicationContext {
public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String configLocation) throws BeansException {
this(new String[] {configLocation});
}
public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String[] configLocations) throws BeansException {
this(configLocations, (ApplicationContext) null);
}
//。。。。。。省略几个重载的构造函数
public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String[] configLocations, ApplicationContext parent)
throws BeansException {
super(parent);
this.configLocations = configLocations;
//IoC容器的初始化过程,其初始化过程的大致步骤由AbstractApplicationContext来定义
refresh();
}
关键之处在于refresh方法,此方法继承于ClassPathXmlApplicationContext的间接父类:
public abstract class AbstractApplicationContext extends DefaultResourceLoader
implements ConfigurableApplicationContext, DisposableBean {
Spring的AbstractApplicationContext是 ApplicationContext抽象实现类,该抽象类的refresh()方法定义了Spring容器在加载配置文件后的各项处理过程,这些处理过 程清晰刻画了Spring容器启动时所执行的各项操作(创建Spring容器如ClassPathXmlApplicationContext)。下面, 我们来看一下refresh()内部定义了哪些执行逻辑:
public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {
synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {
// Prepare this context for refreshing.
prepareRefresh();
// Tell the subclass to refresh the internal bean factory
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();--------(1)
// Prepare the bean factory for use in this context.
prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);
try {
// Allows post-processing of the bean factory in context subclasses.
postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);
// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);-------------------------------------(2)
// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation
registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);---------------------------------------------(3)
// Initialize message source for this context.
initMessageSource();-------------------------------------------------------------------------(4)
// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
initApplicationEventMulticaster();-----------------------------------------------------------(5)
// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
onRefresh();------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(6)
// Check for listener beans and register them.
registerListeners();----------------------------------------------------------------------------(7)
// Instantiate singletons this late to allow them to access the message source.
beanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons();--------------------------------------------------(8)
// Last step: publish corresponding event.
publishEvent(new ContextRefreshedEvent(this));---------------------------------------(9)
} catch (BeansException ex) {
// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
beanFactory.destroySingletons();
throw ex;
}
}
}
protected ConfigurableListableBeanFactory obtainFreshBeanFactory() {
refreshBeanFactory();
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = getBeanFactory();
return beanFactory;
}
protected abstract void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException;
public abstract ConfigurableListableBeanFactory getBeanFactory() throws IllegalStateException;
1.初始化BeanFactory:根据配置文件实例化 BeanFactory,getBeanFactory()方法由具体子类实现。在这一步里,Spring将配置文件的信息解析成为一个个的 BeanDefinition对象并装入到容器的Bean定义注册表(BeanDefinitionRegistry)中,但此时Bean还未初始 化;obtainFreshBeanFactory()会调用自身的refreshBeanFactory(),而 refreshBeanFactory()方法由子类AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext实现,该方法返回了一个创建的DefaultListableBeanFactory对象,这个对象就是由ApplicationContext管理的BeanFactory容器对象。
这一步的操作相当于,如果我们在自己的应用代码中不用ApplicationContext而直接用BeanFactory时创建BeanFactory对象的操作
核心代码如下:
public abstract class AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext extends AbstractApplicationContext { }
/** 该ApplicationContext管理的BeanFactory容器对象*/
private DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory;
protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {
// Shut down previous bean factory, if any.
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory oldBeanFactory = null;
synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
oldBeanFactory = this.beanFactory;
}
if (oldBeanFactory != null) {
oldBeanFactory.destroySingletons();
synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
this.beanFactory = null;
}
}
// Initialize fresh bean factory.
try {
// 创建容器对象
DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();
// Customize the internal bean factory used by this context
customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);
// 装载配置文件,并传入相关联的BeanFactory对象,作为BeanDefinition的容器
loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);
synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException(
"I/O error parsing XML document for application context [" + getDisplayName() + "]", ex);
}
}
// 创建Spring默认的容器对象
protected DefaultListableBeanFactory createBeanFactory() {
return new DefaultListableBeanFactory(getInternalParentBeanFactory());
}
// 该方法为一个钩子方法,子类可以覆盖它对当前上下文管理的BeanFactory提供客户化操作,也可以忽略
protected void customizeBeanFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
}
// 装载配置文件的方法,需要子类实现
protected abstract void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
throws IOException, BeansException;
对于上面装载配置文件的方法,由其子类扩展实现:
public abstract class AbstractXmlApplicationContext extends AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext {}
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws IOException {
// 使用XMLBeanDefinitionReader来载入bean定义信息的XML文件,传入关联的BeanFactory
XmlBeanDefinitionReader beanDefinitionReader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanFactory);
// 这里配置reader的环境,其中ResourceLoader是我们用来定位bean定义信息资源位置的
// 因为上下文本身实现了ResourceLoader接口,所以可以直接把上下文作为ResourceLoader传递入
beanDefinitionReader.setResourceLoader(this);
beanDefinitionReader.setEntityResolver(new ResourceEntityResolver(this));
// Allow a subclass to provide custom initialization of the reader,
// then proceed with actually loading the bean definitions.
initBeanDefinitionReader(beanDefinitionReader);
// 这里转到定义好的XmlBeanDefinitionReader中对载入bean信息进行处理
loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader);
}
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader) throws BeansException, IOException {
Resource[] configResources = getConfigResources();
if (configResources != null) {
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configResources);
}
String[] configLocations = getConfigLocations();
if (configLocations != null) {
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configLocations);
}
}
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configLocations);涉及到XmlBeanDefinitionReader 工具类的使用(以后整理)
2.调用工厂后处理器:根据反射机制从BeanDefinitionRegistry中找出所有BeanFactoryPostProcessor类型的Bean,并调用其postProcessBeanFactory()接口方法;
经过第一步加载配置文件,已经把配置文件中定义的所有bean装载到 BeanDefinitionRegistry这个Beanfactory中,对于ApplicationContext应用来说这个 BeanDefinitionRegistry类型的BeanFactory就是Spring默认的 DefaultListableBeanFactory
public class DefaultListableBeanFactory extends AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory
implements ConfigurableListableBeanFactory, BeanDefinitionRegistry
在这些被装载的bean中,若有类型为BeanFactoryPostProcessor的bean(配置文件中配置的),则将对应的BeanDefinition生成BeanFactoryPostProcessor对象
容器扫描BeanDefinitionRegistry中的BeanDefinition,使 用java反射自动识别出Bean工厂后处理器(实现BeanFactoryPostProcessor接口)的bean,然后调用这些bean工厂后处 理器对BeanDefinitionRegistry中的BeanDefinition进行加工处理,可以完成以下两项工作(当然也可以有其他的操作,用 户自己定义):
1 对使用到占位符的<bean>元素标签进行解析,得到最终的配置值,这意味着对一些半成品式的BeanDefinition对象进行加工处理 并取得成品的BeanDefinition对象。2 对BeanDefinitionRegistry中的BeanDefinition进行扫描,通过Java反射机制找出所有属性编辑器的Bean(实现 java.beans.PropertyEditor接口的Bean),并自动将它们注册到Spring容器的属性编辑器注册表中 (PropertyEditorRegistry),这个Spring提供了实现:CustomEditorConfigurer,它实现了 BeanFactoryPostProcessor,用它来在此注册自定义属性编辑器;
AbstractApplicationContext中的代码如下:
protected void invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
// Invoke factory processors registered with the context instance.
for (Iterator it = getBeanFactoryPostProcessors().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
BeanFactoryPostProcessor factoryProcessor = (BeanFactoryPostProcessor) it.next();
factoryProcessor.postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);
}
// Do not initialize FactoryBeans here: We need to leave all regular beans
// 通过ApplicatinContext管理的beanfactory获取已经注册的BeanFactoryPostProcessor类型的bean的名字
String[] factoryProcessorNames =
beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(BeanFactoryPostProcessor.class, true, false);
// Separate between BeanFactoryPostProcessors that implement the Ordered
// interface and those that do not.
List orderedFactoryProcessors = new ArrayList();
List nonOrderedFactoryProcessorNames = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < factoryProcessorNames.length; i++) {
if (isTypeMatch(factoryProcessorNames[i], Ordered.class)) {
// 调用beanfactory的getBean取得所有的BeanFactoryPostProcessor对象
orderedFactoryProcessors.add(beanFactory.getBean(factoryProcessorNames[i]));
}
else {
nonOrderedFactoryProcessorNames.add(factoryProcessorNames[i]);
}
}
// First, invoke the BeanFactoryPostProcessors that implement Ordered.
Collections.sort(orderedFactoryProcessors, new OrderComparator());
for (Iterator it = orderedFactoryProcessors.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
BeanFactoryPostProcessor factoryProcessor = (BeanFactoryPostProcessor) it.next();
// 执行BeanFactoryPostProcessor的方法,传入当前持有的beanfactory对象,以获取要操作的
// BeanDefinition
factoryProcessor.postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);
}
// Second, invoke all other BeanFactoryPostProcessors, one by one.
for (Iterator it = nonOrderedFactoryProcessorNames.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
String factoryProcessorName = (String) it.next();
((BeanFactoryPostProcessor) getBean(factoryProcessorName)).
postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);
}
}
BeanFactoryPostProcessor接口代码如下,实际的操作由用户扩展并配置(扩展点,如何扩展?)
package org.springframework.beans.factory.config;
public interface BeanFactoryPostProcessor {
/**
* Modify the application context's internal bean factory after its standard
*/
void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException;
}
3.注册Bean后处理器:根据反射机制从BeanDefinitionRegistry中找出所有BeanPostProcessor类型的Bean,并将它们注册到容器Bean后处理器的注册表中;
AbstractApplicatinContext中对应代码如下:
protected void registerBeanPostProcessors(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
String[] processorNames = beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(BeanPostProcessor.class, true, false);
// Register BeanPostProcessorChecker that logs an info message when
int beanProcessorTargetCount = beanFactory.getBeanPostProcessorCount() + 1 +
processorNames.length;
beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new BeanPostProcessorChecker(beanFactory,
beanProcessorTargetCount));
List orderedProcessors = new ArrayList();
List nonOrderedProcessorNames = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < processorNames.length; i++) {
if (isTypeMatch(processorNames[i], Ordered.class)) {
orderedProcessors.add(getBean(processorNames[i]));
}
else {
nonOrderedProcessorNames.add(processorNames[i]);
}
}
// First, register the BeanPostProcessors that implement Ordered.
Collections.sort(orderedProcessors, new OrderComparator());
for (Iterator it = orderedProcessors.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
// 注册bean后处理器,该方法定义于ConfigurableBeanFactory接口
beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor((BeanPostProcessor) it.next());
}
// Second, register all other BeanPostProcessors, one by one.
for (Iterator it = nonOrderedProcessorNames.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
String processorName = (String) it.next();
beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor((BeanPostProcessor) getBean(processorName));
}
}
整段代码类似于第三步的调用工厂后处理器,区别之处在于,工厂后处理器在获取后立即调用,而 Bean后处理器在获取后注册到上下文持有的beanfactory中,供以后操作调用(在用户获取bean的过程中,对已经完成属性设置工作的Bean 进行后续加工,他加工的是bean,而工厂后处理器加工的是BeanDefinition)
BeanPostProcessor 接口代码如下,实际的操作由用户扩展并配置(扩展点,如何扩展?)
package org.springframework.beans.factory.config;
public interface BeanPostProcessor {
Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException;
Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException;
}
4.初始化消息源:初始化容器的国际化信息资源;
源代码如下:
protected void initMessageSource() {
// 补充
}
5.初始化应用上下文事件广播器;(观察者模式中的具体主题角色,持有观察者角色的集合,称为注册表)
AbstractApplciationContext拥有一个 applicationEventMulticaster 成员变量,applicationEventMulticaster 提供了容器监听器的注册表,成其为事件广播器。在第七步中将会将事件监听器装入其中
AbstractApplicationContext中的代码如下:
private ApplicationEventMulticaster applicationEventMulticaster;
protected void initApplicationEventMulticaster() {
// "applicationEventMulticaster",先看配置文件中有无配置该类型类(用户扩展 扩展点,如何扩展)
if (containsLocalBean(APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME)) {
this.applicationEventMulticaster = (ApplicationEventMulticaster)
getBean(APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME, ApplicationEventMulticaster.class);
}
else {
// 若没有,则应用Spring框架提供的事件广播器实例
this.applicationEventMulticaster = new SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster();
}
}
public boolean containsLocalBean(String name) {
return getBeanFactory().containsLocalBean(name);
}
public Object getBean(String name, Class requiredType) throws BeansException {
return getBeanFactory().getBean(name, requiredType);
}
Spring初始化事件广播器,用户可以在配置文件中为容器定义一个自定义的事件广播器 (bean的名称要为"applicationEventMulticaster"),只要实现ApplicationEventMulticaster 就可以了,Spring在此会根据beanfactory自动获取。如果没有找到外部配置的事件广播器,Spring使用 SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster作为事件广播器。
6.初始化其他特殊的Bean:这是一个钩子方法,子类可以借助这个钩子方法执行一些特殊的操作:如AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext就使用该钩子方法执行初始化ThemeSource的操作;
protected void onRefresh() throws BeansException {(扩展点,如何扩展)
package org.springframework.context;
// For subclasses: do nothing by default.
}
7.注册事件监听器;(观察者模式中的观察者角色)
Spring根据上下文持有的beanfactory对象,从它的 BeanDefinitionRegistry中找出所有实现 org.springfamework.context.ApplicationListener的bean,将BeanDefinition对象生成 bean,注册为容器的事件监听器,实际的操作就是将其添加到事件广播器所提供的监听器注册表中
AbstractApplicationContext中的代码如下:
/** Statically specified listeners */
private List applicationListeners = new ArrayList();
public List getApplicationListeners() {
return this.applicationListeners;
}
protected void registerListeners() {
// Register statically specified listeners first.
for (Iterator it = getApplicationListeners().iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
addListener((ApplicationListener) it.next());
}
// 获取ApplicationListener类型的所有bean,即事件监听器
// uninitialized to let post-processors apply to them!
Collection listenerBeans = getBeansOfType(ApplicationListener.class, true, false).values();
for (Iterator it = listenerBeans.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
// 将事件监听器装入第五步初始化的事件广播器
addListener((ApplicationListener) it.next());
}
}
public Map getBeansOfType(Class type, boolean includePrototypes, boolean allowEagerInit)
throws BeansException {
return getBeanFactory().getBeansOfType(type, includePrototypes, allowEagerInit);
}
protected void addListener(ApplicationListener listener) {
getApplicationEventMulticaster().addApplicationListener(listener);
}
ApplicationListener 的源代码如下:(扩展点,如何扩展)
package org.springframework.context;
import java.util.EventListener;
/**
* Interface to be implemented by application event listeners.
* @see org.springframework.context.event.ApplicationEventMulticaster
*/
public interface ApplicationListener extends EventListener {
void onApplicationEvent(ApplicationEvent event);
}
8.初始化singleton的Bean:实例化所有singleton的Bean,并将它们 放入Spring容器的缓存中;这就是和直接在应用中使用BeanFactory的区别之处,在创建ApplicationContext对象时,不仅创 建了一个BeanFactory对象,并且还应用它实例化所有单实例的bean。
AbstractApplicationContext中的代码如下:
beanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons();
关于BeanFactory体系的代码参照。。。。。。
9.发布上下文刷新事件:在此处时容器已经启动完成,发布容器refresh事件(ContextRefreshedEvent)
创建上下文刷新事件,事件广播器负责将些事件广播到每个注册的事件监听器中。
publishEvent(new ContextRefreshedEvent(this));
public void publishEvent(ApplicationEvent event) {
Assert.notNull(event, "Event must not be null");
// 在此获取事件广播器,并调用其方法发布事件:调用所有注册的监听器的方法
getApplicationEventMulticaster().multicastEvent(event);
if (this.parent != null) {
this.parent.publishEvent(event);
}
}
至此,ApplicationContext对象就完成了初始化工作:创建 BeanFactory来装配BeanDefiniton,加工处理BeanDefiniton,注册了bean后处理器,初始化了消息资源,初始化了应 用上下文事件广播器,注册了事件监听器,初始化了所有singleton的bean,最后发布上下文刷新事件
