Tomcat-ConfigContext监听器（Context.xml,web.xml）

Tomcat的Host初始化（Context，Listener，Filter，Servlet）：[url]http://donald-draper.iteye.com/blog/2327174[/url]
Host作为Engine的子容器，在Host中有两个变量为StandardContext和
configClass，StandardContext在前文中我们已经讲过了，

public class StandardHost extends ContainerBase implements Host {
/**
     * The Java class name of the default context configuration class
     * for deployed web applications.
     */
    private String configClass =
        "org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig";
    /**
     * The Java class name of the default Context implementation class for
     * deployed web applications.
     */
    private String contextClass =
        "org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext";
}

现在我们，来看看org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig都做了些什么？

public class ContextConfig implements LifecycleListener {
 /**
     * The set of Authenticators that we know how to configure.  The key is
     * the name of the implemented authentication method, and the value is
     * the fully qualified Java class name of the corresponding Valve.
     */
 protected static final Properties authenticators;
   /**
     * The list of JARs that will be skipped when scanning a web application
     * for JARs. This means the JAR will not be scanned for web fragments, SCIs,
     * annotations or classes that match @HandlesTypes.
     */
    private static final Set<String> pluggabilityJarsToSkip =
            new HashSet<String>();

    static {
        // Load our mapping properties for the standard authenticators
        Properties props = new Properties();
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
	    //加载Authenticators.properties
            is = ContextConfig.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
                    "org/apache/catalina/startup/Authenticators.properties");
            if (is != null) {
                props.load(is);
            }
        } 
        authenticators = props;
        //Load the list of JARS to skip
        addJarsToSkip(Constants.DEFAULT_JARS_TO_SKIP);
        addJarsToSkip(Constants.PLUGGABILITY_JARS_TO_SKIP);
    }
     /**
     * 每个Host的默认web.xml配置缓存
     */
    protected static final Map<Host,DefaultWebXmlCacheEntry> hostWebXmlCache =
        new ConcurrentHashMap<Host,DefaultWebXmlCacheEntry>();
     //当容器生命周期变化时，激发
     public void lifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent event) {

 }

从上面可以看出Lifecycle.AFTER_INIT_EVENT触发init方法，init方法，首先创建一个
解析Context.xml文件的Digester，然后待在Context.xml文件，由Digester去解析处理；
下面来看一下Lifecycle.BEFORE_START_EVENT触发的方法beforeStart：

    }

    //调整antiLockingDocBase

                        antiLockingDocBase.getPath());

            }
        }
    }

从beforeStart方法，我们可以看出每个从ContextConfig，关联一个StandardContext，
而每个StandardContext都有一个父容器StandardHost。

从上面可看出，webConfig主要是处理web.xml的解析，与全局web.xml（Context）融合的问题
下面看一下cofigStart方法中注解的处理applicationAnnotationsConfig：

// Process the application classes annotations, if it exists.
    protected void applicationAnnotationsConfig() {
        long t1=System.currentTimeMillis();
        WebAnnotationSet.loadApplicationAnnotations(context);
        long t2=System.currentTimeMillis();
        if (context instanceof StandardContext) {
            ((StandardContext) context).setStartupTime(t2-t1+
                    ((StandardContext) context).getStartupTime());
        }
    }

从分析注解的配置可以看出，实际上就是先从Context获取Lisenters，Filters和Servlets，
然后分别处理Lisenters，Filters和Servlets的Class，Field和Method的注解。
下面来看Lifecycle.AFTER_START_EVENT事件的触发方法configureStart
//context设置docBase

 if (originalDocBase != null) {
       context.setDocBase(originalDocBase);
 }

总结：
[color=blue]从以上分析每个Host，关联一个ContextConfig和StandardContext，而ContextConfig关联于StandardContext；ContextConfig其实是一个LifecycleListener可以监听StandardContext容器的声明周期变化；当处于AFTER_INIT_EVEN状态时，加载Context.xml文件，通过Digester解析；当处于BEFORE_START_EVENT状态时，docbase；当处于CONFIGURE_START_EVENT状态时，加载Web.xml配置（欢迎页面，参数，listeners，filters，Servlet,filters-Maping，Servlet-Maping，SessionConfig，errorPage等）,然后处理listeners，filters，Servlet的注解等；当处于AFTER_START_EVENT状态时，设置context的docBase，自此完成web应用的context.xml,web.xml的初始化工作。[/color]
