Spring Context 究竟怎么理解？它到底是个什么妖魔鬼怪

spring context 的生命周期

1. 初始化

2. 启动

3. 运行

4. 关闭/销毁

spring context 的初始化和启动

我们平时常说的 spring 启动其实就是调用 AbstractApplicationContext#refresh 完成 spring context 的初始化和启动过程。spring context 初始化从开始到最后结束以及启动，这整个过程都在 refresh 这个方法中。
refresh 方法刚开始做的是一些 spring context 的准备工作，也就是 spring context 的初始化，比如：创建 BeanFactory、注册 BeanFactoryPostProcessor 等，只有等这些准备工作做好以后才去开始 spring context 的启动。

与现实生活联系一下，你可以把初始化理解为准备原料（对应到编程中就是创建好一些数据结构，并为这些数据结构填充点数据进去），等准备了你才能去真正造玩偶、造东西呀（对应到编程中就是执行算法）。在编程中数据结构与算法是分不开的也是这个道理呀，它们相互依赖并没有严格的界限划分。

扩展一下 context 这个单词

我们经常在编程中见到 context 这个单词，当然每个人有每个人的理解，它被理解为：上下文、容器等等。我想说的是，context 理解为上下文最为合适。为什么呢？我以一个在计算机系统的例子来解释一下。

在计算机系统中，进程执行时有进程上下文，如果进程在执行的过程中遇到了中断，CPU 会从用户态切换为内核态（当然这个过程用户进程是感知不到的，由硬件来实现的），此时进程处于的进程上下文会被切换到中断上下文中，从而可以根据中断号去执行相应的中断程序。

通过上面这个例子我们可以发现，进程在执行程序（不管是用户程序，还是内核中的中断程序）时，都会依赖一个上下文，这个上下文由多种数据结构组成，可以提供我们运行时需要的一些数据和保存运行时的一些数据。那么回到 spring 中，spring 的 ioc 容器也是程序呀，那它的执行也肯定需要依赖一个上下文。所以大家应该理解 spring context 的意思了吧。

AbstractApplicationContext

public abstract class AbstractApplicationContext extends DefaultResourceLoader
    		implements ConfigurableApplicationContext {
    		
    	@Override
    	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();
    
    			// 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);
    
    				// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
    				registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);
    
    				// Initialize message source for this context.
    				initMessageSource();
    
    				// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
    				initApplicationEventMulticaster();
    
    				// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
    				onRefresh();
    
    				// Check for listener beans and register them.
    				registerListeners();
    
    				// Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
    				finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);
    
    				// Last step: publish corresponding event.
    				finishRefresh();
    			}
    			catch (BeansException ex) {
    				if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
    					logger.warn("Exception encountered during context initialization - " +
    							"cancelling refresh attempt: " + ex);
    				}
    
    				// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
    				destroyBeans();
    
    				// Reset 'active' flag.
    				cancelRefresh(ex);
    
    				// Propagate exception to caller.
    				throw ex;
    			}
    
    			finally {
    				// Reset common introspection caches in Spring's core, since we
    				// might not ever need metadata for singleton beans anymore...
    				resetCommonCaches();
    			}
    		}
    	}
