Tomcat 8（七）解读Bootstrap

上一篇文章分析了通过startup.bat启动Tomcat相当于执行如下代码，即运行Bootstrap start

start "Tomcat" "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin\java"
-Djava.util.logging.config.file="D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\conf\logging.properties"
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\endorsed"
-classpath "D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\bin\bootstrap.jar;D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
-Dcatalina.base="D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3"
-Dcatalina.home="D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3"
-Djava.io.tmpdir="D:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\temp"
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

今天来看看Bootstrap的执行流程

1. 执行static块

为什么没有执行main方法，而先执行static块呢？

原来一个类的运行，JVM做会以下几件事情：类装载、链接、初始化、实例化，而初始化阶段做的事情是初始化静态变量和执行静态方法等

static块的作用是设置catalinaBaseFile、catalinaHomeFile

static块：

static {
        // Will always be non-null
		//System.getProperty("user.dir")，获取当前目录
		//由于是在$CATALINA_HOME\bin下运行的Bootstrap，所以userDir为$CATALINA_HOME\bin
        String userDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");

        // Home first
		//Globals是存放全局常量的类
		//Globals.CATALINA_HOME_PROP = "catalina.home"
		//catalina.home在运行Bootstrap时已设置(Tomcat的根目录)
        String home = System.getProperty(Globals.CATALINA_HOME_PROP);
        File homeFile = null;
		
		//获取Tomcat的绝对路径
        if (home != null) {
            File f = new File(home);
            try {
                homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
                homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
            }
        }

        if (homeFile == null) {
            // First fall-back. See if current directory is a bin directory
            // in a normal Tomcat install
            File bootstrapJar = new File(userDir, "bootstrap.jar");

            if (bootstrapJar.exists()) {
                File f = new File(userDir, "..");
                try {
                    homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
                } catch (IOException ioe) {
                    homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
                }
            }
        }

        if (homeFile == null) {
            // Second fall-back. Use current directory
            File f = new File(userDir);
            try {
                homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
                homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
            }
        }
		
		//设置catalinaHomeFile
        catalinaHomeFile = homeFile;
        System.setProperty(
                Globals.CATALINA_HOME_PROP, catalinaHomeFile.getPath());

        // Then base
        String base = System.getProperty(Globals.CATALINA_BASE_PROP);
		//设置catalinaBaseFile
        if (base == null) {
            catalinaBaseFile = catalinaHomeFile;
        } else {
            File baseFile = new File(base);
            try {
                baseFile = baseFile.getCanonicalFile();
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
                baseFile = baseFile.getAbsoluteFile();
            }
            catalinaBaseFile = baseFile;
        }
        System.setProperty(
                Globals.CATALINA_BASE_PROP, catalinaBaseFile.getPath());
    }

对比getAbsoluteFile()、getCanonicalFile()

getAbsoluteFile获取绝对文件(如果文件路径中包含.和..，不解析)
