Java基础：类加载与双亲委派源码解析

1 作用

加载类前先询问JDK内的类加载器，保证：

• 防止加载同一个.class。
• 核心.class不被篡改。

1 类加载

1.1 类加载细节

类加载过程如图1.1所示。

图1.1 类加载过程

由1.1流程可知，类加载过程，经过四次判断，第一次：判断系统是否已经加载；第二次：parent是否加载，第三次：启动类加载器是否加载，第四次：自定义类加载是否加载。其中，parent类加载有两种，即应用程序类加载器（ApplicationClassLoader）和扩展类加载器（ExtensionClassLoader），也就是双亲委派。

1.2 类加载架构

由1.1抽象出类加载架构如图1.2所示。

1.2 双亲委派

由1.1流程可知，类加载过程，parent类加载有两种，即应用程序类加载器（ApplicationClassLoader）和扩展类加载器（ExtensionClassLoader），所谓的双亲。

2 源码解析

ClassLoader所在包：

package java.lang;

2.1 classLoad()方法

源码流程即1.1流程图。由注释可知：classLoad()方法即按照一定的规则进行类加载。自定义类加载器重写findClass方法。

/**
     * Loads the class with the specified <a href="#name">binary name</a>.  The
     * default implementation of this method searches for classes in the
     * following order:
     *
     * <ol>
     *
     *   <li><p> Invoke {@link #findLoadedClass(String)} to check if the class
     *   has already been loaded.  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Invoke the {@link #loadClass(String) <tt>loadClass</tt>} method
     *   on the parent class loader.  If the parent is <tt>null</tt> the class
     *   loader built-in to the virtual machine is used, instead.  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Invoke the {@link #findClass(String)} method to find the
     *   class.  </p></li>
     *
     * </ol>
     *
     * <p> If the class was found using the above steps, and the
     * <tt>resolve</tt> flag is true, this method will then invoke the {@link
     * #resolveClass(Class)} method on the resulting <tt>Class</tt> object.
     *
     * <p> Subclasses of <tt>ClassLoader</tt> are encouraged to override {@link
     * #findClass(String)}, rather than this method.  </p>
     *
     * <p> Unless overridden, this method synchronizes on the result of
     * {@link #getClassLoadingLock <tt>getClassLoadingLock</tt>} method
     * during the entire class loading process.
     *
     * @param  name
     *         The <a href="#name">binary name</a> of the class
     *
     * @param  resolve
     *         If <tt>true</tt> then resolve the class
     *
     * @return  The resulting <tt>Class</tt> object
     *
     * @throws  ClassNotFoundException
     *          If the class could not be found
     */
    protected Class<?> loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
        throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        synchronized (getClassLoadingLock(name)) {
            // First, check if the class has already been loaded
            Class<?> c = findLoadedClass(name);
            if (c == null) {
                long t0 = System.nanoTime();
                try {
                    if (parent != null) {
                        c = parent.loadClass(name, false);
                    } else {
                        c = findBootstrapClassOrNull(name);
                    }
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                    // ClassNotFoundException thrown if class not found
                    // from the non-null parent class loader
                }

                if (c == null) {
                    // If still not found, then invoke findClass in order
                    // to find the class.
                    long t1 = System.nanoTime();
                    c = findClass(name);

                    // this is the defining class loader; record the stats
                    sun.misc.PerfCounter.getParentDelegationTime().addTime(t1 - t0);
                    sun.misc.PerfCounter.getFindClassTime().addElapsedTimeFrom(t1);
                    sun.misc.PerfCounter.getFindClasses().increment();
                }
            }
            if (resolve) {
                resolveClass(c);
            }
            return c;
        }
    }

2.2 parent属性

双亲属性，即应用类加载器和扩展类加载器。

 // The parent class loader for delegation
    // Note: VM hardcoded the offset of this field, thus all new fields
    // must be added *after* it.
    private final ClassLoader parent;

2.3 抽象类ClassLoader构造器

protected ClassLoader(ClassLoader parent) {
        this(checkCreateClassLoader(), parent);
    }
    
 private ClassLoader(Void unused, ClassLoader parent) {
        this.parent = parent;
        if (ParallelLoaders.isRegistered(this.getClass())) {
            parallelLockMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
            package2certs = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
            assertionLock = new Object();
        } else {
            // no finer-grained lock; lock on the classloader instance
            parallelLockMap = null;
            package2certs = new Hashtable<>();
            assertionLock = this;
        }
    }
    protected ClassLoader() {
        this(checkCreateClassLoader(), getSystemClassLoader());
    } 

其中getSystemClassLoader即应用程序类构造器和扩展类构造器。

@CallerSensitive
    public static ClassLoader getSystemClassLoader() {
        initSystemClassLoader();
        if (scl == null) {
            return null;
        }
        SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
        if (sm != null) {
            checkClassLoaderPermission(scl, Reflection.getCallerClass());
        }
        return scl;
    }

initSystemClassLoader()

private static synchronized void initSystemClassLoader() {
        if (!sclSet) {
            if (scl != null)
                throw new IllegalStateException("recursive invocation");
            sun.misc.Launcher l = sun.misc.Launcher.getLauncher();
            if (l != null) {
                Throwable oops = null;
                scl = l.getClassLoader();
                try {
                    scl = AccessController.doPrivileged(
                        new SystemClassLoaderAction(scl));
                } catch (PrivilegedActionException pae) {
                    oops = pae.getCause();
                    if (oops instanceof InvocationTargetException) {
                        oops = oops.getCause();
                    }
                }
                if (oops != null) {
                    if (oops instanceof Error) {
                        throw (Error) oops;
                    } else {
                        // wrap the exception
                        throw new Error(oops);
                    }
                }
            }
            sclSet = true;
        }
    }

2.4 ExtensionClassLoader和ApplicationClassLoader

sun.misc.Launcher.getLauncher()加载ExtClassLoader()和AppClassLoader

public Launcher() {
        Launcher.ExtClassLoader var1;
        try {
            var1 = Launcher.ExtClassLoader.getExtClassLoader();
        } catch (IOException var10) {
            throw new InternalError("Could not create extension class loader", var10);
        }

        try {
            this.loader = Launcher.AppClassLoader.getAppClassLoader(var1);
        } catch (IOException var9) {
            throw new InternalError("Could not create application class loader", var9);
        }
        ...
  }

2.5 run

class SystemClassLoaderAction
    implements PrivilegedExceptionAction<ClassLoader> {
    private ClassLoader parent;

    SystemClassLoaderAction(ClassLoader parent) {
        this.parent = parent;
    }

    public ClassLoader run() throws Exception {
        String cls = System.getProperty("java.system.class.loader");
        if (cls == null) {
            return parent;
        }

        Constructor<?> ctor = Class.forName(cls, true, parent)
            .getDeclaredConstructor(new Class<?>[] { ClassLoader.class });
        ClassLoader sys = (ClassLoader) ctor.newInstance(
            new Object[] { parent });
        Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(sys);
        return sys;
    }
}
