Spring MVC中的IoC容器初始化
Spring Framework本身没有Web功能,Spring MVC使用WebApplicationContext类扩展ApplicationContext,使得拥有web功能。那么,Spring MVC是如何在web环境中创建IoC容器呢?web环境中的IoC容器的结构又是什么结构呢?web环境中,spring IoC容器是怎么启动呢?
先看一下WebApplicationContext是如何扩展ApplicationContext来添加对Web环境的支持的。WebApplicationContext接口定义如下:
public interface WebApplicationContext extends ApplicationContext { //根上下文在ServletContext中的名称 String ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE = WebApplicationContext.class.getName() + ".ROOT"; //取得web容器的ServletContext ServletContext getServletContext(); }
对于web容器中创建IoC容器的过程,我们从web.xml配置文件讲起。看一下Spring MVC的web.xml中的相关配置:
<context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> </listener> <!-- Handles all requests into the application --> <servlet> <servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/spring/*.xml </param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- Maps all /app requests to the DispatcherServlet for handling --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
在web.xml配置文件中,有两个主要的配置:ContextLoaderListener和DispatcherServlet。同样的关于spring配置文件的相关配置也有两部分:context-param和DispatcherServlet中的init-param。那么,这两部分的配置有什么区别呢?它们都担任什么样的职责呢?
在Spring MVC中,Spring Context是以父子的继承结构存在的。Web环境中存在一个ROOT Context,这个Context是整个应用的根上下文,是其他context的双亲Context。同时Spring MVC也对应的持有一个独立的Context,它是ROOT Context的子上下文。
对于这样的Context结构在Spring MVC中是如何实现的呢?下面就先从ROOT Context入手,ROOT Context是在ContextLoaderListener中配置的,ContextLoaderListener读取context-param中的contextConfigLocation指定的配置文件,创建ROOT Context。下面看一下ContextLoaderListener中创建context的源码:
/** * Initialize Spring's web application context for the given servlet context, * according to the "{@link #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM contextClass}" and * "{@link #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM contextConfigLocation}" context-params. * @param servletContext current servlet context * @return the new WebApplicationContext * @see #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM * @see #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM */ public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext) { //PS : ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE=WebApplicationContext.class.getName() + ".ROOT" 根上下文的名称 //PS : 默认情况下,配置文件的位置和名称是: DEFAULT_CONFIG_LOCATION = "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml" //在整个web应用中,只能有一个根上下文 if (servletContext.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE) != null) { throw new IllegalStateException( "Cannot initialize context because there is already a root application context present - " + "check whether you have multiple ContextLoader* definitions in your web.xml!"); } Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ContextLoader.class); servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext"); if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) { logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started"); } long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); try { // Determine parent for root web application context, if any. ApplicationContext parent = loadParentContext(servletContext); // Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that // it is available on ServletContext shutdown. // 在这里执行了创建WebApplicationContext的操作 this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext, parent); //PS: 将根上下文放置在servletContext中 servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context); ClassLoader ccl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); if (ccl == ContextLoader.class.getClassLoader()) { currentContext = this.context; } else if (ccl != null) { currentContextPerThread.put(ccl, this.context); } if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) { logger.debug("Published root WebApplicationContext as ServletContext attribute with name [" + WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE + "]"); } if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) { long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime; logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in " + elapsedTime + " ms"); } return this.context; } catch (RuntimeException ex) { logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex); servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, ex); throw ex; } catch (Error err) { logger.error("Context initialization failed", err); servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, err); throw err; } }
再看一下WebApplicationContext对象是如何创建的:
protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(ServletContext sc, ApplicationContext parent) { //根据web.xml中的配置决定使用何种WebApplicationContext。默认情况下使用XmlWebApplicationContext //web.xml中相关的配置context-param的名称“contextClass” Class<?> contextClass = determineContextClass(sc); if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) { throw new ApplicationContextException("Custom context class [" + contextClass.getName() + "] is not of type [" + ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.getName() + "]"); } //实例化WebApplicationContext的实现类 ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass); // Assign the best possible id value. if (sc.getMajorVersion() == 2 && sc.getMinorVersion() < 5) { // Servlet <= 2.4: resort to name specified in web.xml, if any. String servletContextName = sc.getServletContextName(); if (servletContextName != null) { wac.setId(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX + servletContextName); } else { wac.setId(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX); } } else { // Servlet 2.5's getContextPath available! wac.setId(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX + sc.getContextPath()); } wac.setParent(parent); wac.setServletContext(sc); //设置spring的配置文件 wac.setConfigLocation(sc.getInitParameter(CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM)); customizeContext(sc, wac); //spring容器初始化 wac.refresh(); return wac; }
以上是web容器中根上下文的加载与初始化,下面介绍一下Spring MVC对应的上下文是如何加载的。
Spring MVC中核心的类是DispatcherServlet,在这个类中完成Spring context的加载与创建,并且能够根据Spring Context的内容将请求分发给各个Controller类。DispatcherServlet继承自HttpServlet,关于Spring Context的配置文件加载和创建是在init()方法中进行的,主要的调用顺序是init-->initServletBean-->initWebApplicationContext。
先来看一下initWebApplicationContext的实现
/** * Initialize and publish the WebApplicationContext for this servlet. * <p>Delegates to {@link #createWebApplicationContext} for actual creation * of the context. Can be overridden in subclasses. * @return the WebApplicationContext instance * @see #setContextClass * @see #setContextConfigLocation */ protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext() { //先从web容器的ServletContext中查找WebApplicationContext WebApplicationContext wac = findWebApplicationContext(); if (wac == null) { // No fixed context defined for this servlet - create a local one. //从ServletContext中取得根上下文 WebApplicationContext parent = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext()); //创建Spring MVC的上下文,并将根上下文作为起双亲上下文 wac = createWebApplicationContext(parent); } if (!this.refreshEventReceived) { // Apparently not a ConfigurableApplicationContext with refresh support: // triggering initial onRefresh manually here. onRefresh(wac); } if (this.publishContext) { // Publish the context as a servlet context attribute. // 取得context在ServletContext中的名称 String attrName = getServletContextAttributeName(); //将Spring MVC的Context放置到ServletContext中 getServletContext().setAttribute(attrName, wac); if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) { this.logger.debug("Published WebApplicationContext of servlet '" + getServletName() + "' as ServletContext attribute with name [" + attrName + "]"); } } return wac; }
通过initWebApplicationContext方法的调用,创建了DispatcherServlet对应的context,并将其放置到ServletContext中,这样就完成了在web容器中构建Spring IoC容器的过程。
最后,在分别给出ContextLoaderListener和DispatcherServlet构建context的时序。
