一、概述
Struts2的核心是一个Filter,Action可以脱离web容器,那么是什么让http请求和action关联在一起的,下面我们深入源码来分析下Struts2是如何工作的。
鉴于常规情况官方推荐使用StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter替代FilterDispatcher,我们此文将剖析StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter,其在工程中作为一个Filter配置在web.xml中,配置如下:
<filter> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts2</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>
二、源码属性方法简介
下面我们研究下StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter源码,类的主要信息如下:
属性摘要 | |
---|---|
protected List<Pattern> | excludedPatterns |
protected ExecuteOperations | execute |
protected PrepareOperations | prepare |
StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter与普通的Filter并无区别,方法除继承自Filter外,仅有一个回调方法,第三部分我们将按照Filter方法调用顺序,由init—>doFilter—>destroy顺序地分析源码。
方法摘要 | |
---|---|
void | destroy() 继承自Filter,用于资源释放 |
void | doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) 继承自Filter,执行方法 |
void | init(FilterConfig filterConfig) 继承自Filter,初始化参数 |
protected void | postInit(Dispatcher dispatcher, FilterConfig filterConfig) Callback for post initialization(一个空的方法,用于方法回调初始化) |
三、源码剖析
1、init方法
init是Filter第一个运行的方法,我们看下struts2的核心Filter在调用init方法初始化时做哪些工作:
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
InitOperations init = new InitOperations();
try {
//封装filterConfig,其中有个主要方法getInitParameterNames将参数名字以String格式存储在List中
FilterHostConfig config = new FilterHostConfig(filterConfig);
// 初始化struts内部日志
init.initLogging(config);
//创建dispatcher ,并初始化,这部分下面我们重点分析,初始化时加载那些资源
Dispatcher dispatcher = init.initDispatcher(config);
init.initStaticContentLoader(config, dispatcher);
//初始化类属性:prepare 、execute
prepare = new PrepareOperations(filterConfig.getServletContext(), dispatcher);
execute = new ExecuteOperations(filterConfig.getServletContext(), dispatcher);
this.excludedPatterns = init.buildExcludedPatternsList(dispatcher);
//回调空的postInit方法
postInit(dispatcher, filterConfig);
} finally {
init.cleanup();
}
}
首先看下FilterHostConfig ,源码如下:
public class FilterHostConfig implements HostConfig {
private FilterConfig config;
/**
*构造函数
*/
public FilterHostConfig(FilterConfig config) {
this.config = config;
}
/**
* 根据init-param配置的param-name获取param-value的值
*/
public String getInitParameter(String key) {
return config.getInitParameter(key);
}
/**
* 返回初始化参数名的List
*/
public Iterator<String> getInitParameterNames() {
return MakeIterator.convert(config.getInitParameterNames());
}
public ServletContext getServletContext() {
return config.getServletContext();
}
}
只有短短的几行代码,getInitParameterNames是这个类的核心,将Filter初始化参数名称有枚举类型转为Iterator。此类的主要作为是对filterConfig 封装。
重点来了,创建并初始化Dispatcher
public Dispatcher initDispatcher( HostConfig filterConfig ) {
Dispatcher dispatcher = createDispatcher(filterConfig);
dispatcher.init();
return dispatcher;
}
创建Dispatcher,会读取 filterConfig 中的配置信息,将配置信息解析出来,封装成为一个Map,然后根绝servlet上下文和参数Map构造Dispatcher :
private Dispatcher createDispatcher( HostConfig filterConfig ) {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
for ( Iterator e = filterConfig.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasNext(); ) {
String name = (String) e.next();
String value = filterConfig.getInitParameter(name);
params.put(name, value);
}
return new Dispatcher(filterConfig.getServletContext(), params);
}
Dispatcher初始化,加载struts2的相关配置文件,将按照顺序逐一加载:default.properties,struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml,……
/**
*初始化过程中依次加载如下配置文件
*/
public void init() {
if (configurationManager == null) {
configurationManager = new ConfigurationManager(BeanSelectionProvider.DEFAULT_BEAN_NAME);
}
try {
//加载org/apache/struts2/default.properties
init_DefaultProperties(); // [1]
//加载struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts.xml
init_TraditionalXmlConfigurations(); // [2]
init_LegacyStrutsProperties(); // [3]
//用户自己实现的ConfigurationProviders类
init_CustomConfigurationProviders(); // [5]
//Filter的初始化参数
init_FilterInitParameters() ; // [6]
init_AliasStandardObjects() ; // [7]
Container container = init_PreloadConfiguration();
container.inject(this);
init_CheckConfigurationReloading(container);
init_CheckWebLogicWorkaround(container);
if (!dispatcherListeners.isEmpty()) {
for (DispatcherListener l : dispatcherListeners) {
l.dispatcherInitialized(this);
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
if (LOG.isErrorEnabled())
LOG.error("Dispatcher initialization failed", ex);
throw new StrutsException(ex);
}
}
初始化default.properties,具体的初始化操作在DefaultPropertiesProvider类中
private void init_DefaultProperties() {
configurationManager.addConfigurationProvider(new DefaultPropertiesProvider());
}
下面我们看下DefaultPropertiesProvider类源码:
public void register(ContainerBuilder builder, LocatableProperties props)
throws ConfigurationException {
Settings defaultSettings = null;
try {
defaultSettings = new PropertiesSettings("org/apache/struts2/default");
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ConfigurationException("Could not find or error in org/apache/struts2/default.properties", e);
}
loadSettings(props, defaultSettings);
}
其他的我们再次省略,大家可以浏览下各个初始化操作都加载了那些文件
3、doFilter方法
doFilter是过滤器的执行方法,它拦截提交的HttpServletRequest请求,HttpServletResponse响应,作为strtus2的核心拦截器,在doFilter里面到底做了哪些工作,我们将逐行解读其源码,源码如下:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
//父类向子类转:强转为http请求、响应
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
try {
//设置编码和国际化
prepare.setEncodingAndLocale(request, response);
//创建Action上下文(重点)
prepare.createActionContext(request, response);
prepare.assignDispatcherToThread();
if ( excludedPatterns != null && prepare.isUrlExcluded(request, excludedPatterns)) {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
} else {
request = prepare.wrapRequest(request);
ActionMapping mapping = prepare.findActionMapping(request, response, true);
if (mapping == null) {
boolean handled = execute.executeStaticResourceRequest(request, response);
if (!handled) {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
} else {
execute.executeAction(request, response, mapping);
}
}
} finally {
prepare.cleanupRequest(request);
}
}
setEncodingAndLocale调用了dispatcher方法的prepare方法:
/**
* Sets the request encoding and locale on the response
*/
public void setEncodingAndLocale(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
dispatcher.prepare(request, response);
}
下面我们看下prepare方法,这个方法很简单只是设置了encoding 、locale ,做的只是一些辅助的工作:
public void prepare(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
String encoding = null;
if (defaultEncoding != null) {
encoding = defaultEncoding;
}
Locale locale = null;
if (defaultLocale != null) {
locale = LocalizedTextUtil.localeFromString(defaultLocale, request.getLocale());
}
if (encoding != null) {
try {
request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Error setting character encoding to '" + encoding + "' - ignoring.", e);
}
}
if (locale != null) {
response.setLocale(locale);
}
if (paramsWorkaroundEnabled) {
request.getParameter("foo"); // simply read any parameter (existing or not) to "prime" the request
}
}
Action上下文创建(重点)
ActionContext是一个容器,这个容易主要存储request、session、application、parameters等相关信息.ActionContext是一个线程的本地变量,这意味着不同的action之间不会共享ActionContext,所以也不用考虑线程安全问题。其实质是一个Map,key是标示request、session、……的字符串,值是其对应的对象:
static ThreadLocal actionContext = new ThreadLocal();
Map<String, Object> context;
下面我们看下如何创建action上下文的,代码如下:
/**
*创建Action上下文,初始化thread local
*/
public ActionContext createActionContext(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ActionContext ctx;
Integer counter = 1;
Integer oldCounter = (Integer) request.getAttribute(CLEANUP_RECURSION_COUNTER);
if (oldCounter != null) {
counter = oldCounter + 1;
}
//注意此处是从ThreadLocal中获取此ActionContext变量
ActionContext oldContext = ActionContext.getContext();
if (oldContext != null) {
// detected existing context, so we are probably in a forward
ctx = new ActionContext(new HashMap<String, Object>(oldContext.getContextMap()));
} else {
ValueStack stack = dispatcher.getContainer().getInstance(ValueStackFactory.class).createValueStack();
stack.getContext().putAll(dispatcher.createContextMap(request, response, null, servletContext));
//stack.getContext()返回的是一个Map<String,Object>,根据此Map构造一个ActionContext
ctx = new ActionContext(stack.getContext());
}
request.setAttribute(CLEANUP_RECURSION_COUNTER, counter);
//将ActionContext存如ThreadLocal
ActionContext.setContext(ctx);
return ctx;
}
上面代码中dispatcher.createContextMap,如何封装相关参数:
public Map<String,Object> createContextMap(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
ActionMapping mapping, ServletContext context) {
// request map wrapping the http request objects
Map requestMap = new RequestMap(request);
// parameters map wrapping the http parameters. ActionMapping parameters are now handled and applied separately
Map params = new HashMap(request.getParameterMap());
// session map wrapping the http session
Map session = new SessionMap(request);
// application map wrapping the ServletContext
Map application = new ApplicationMap(context);
//requestMap、params、session等Map封装成为一个上下文Map,逐个调用了map.put(Map p).
Map<String,Object> extraContext = createContextMap(requestMap, params, session, application, request, response, context);
if (mapping != null) {
extraContext.put(ServletActionContext.ACTION_MAPPING, mapping);
}
return extraContext;
}
我们简单看下RequestMap,其他的省略。RequestMap类实现了抽象Map,故其本身是一个Map,主要方法实现:
//map的get实现
public Object get(Object key) {
return request.getAttribute(key.toString());
}
//map的put实现
public Object put(Object key, Object value) {
Object oldValue = get(key);
entries = null;
request.setAttribute(key.toString(), value);
return oldValue;
}
下面是源码展示了如何执行Action控制器:
public void executeAction(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ActionMapping mapping) throws ServletException {
dispatcher.serviceAction(request, response, servletContext, mapping);
}
public void serviceAction(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext context,
ActionMapping mapping) throws ServletException {
//封装执行的上下文环境,主要讲相关信息存储入map
Map<String, Object> extraContext = createContextMap(request, response, mapping, context);
// If there was a previous value stack, then create a new copy and pass it in to be used by the new Action
ValueStack stack = (ValueStack) request.getAttribute(ServletActionContext.STRUTS_VALUESTACK_KEY);
boolean nullStack = stack == null;
if (nullStack) {
ActionContext ctx = ActionContext.getContext();
if (ctx != null) {
stack = ctx.getValueStack();
}
}
if (stack != null) {
extraContext.put(ActionContext.VALUE_STACK, valueStackFactory.createValueStack(stack));
}
String timerKey = "Handling request from Dispatcher";
try {
UtilTimerStack.push(timerKey);
//获取命名空间
String namespace = mapping.getNamespace();
//获取action配置的name属性
String name = mapping.getName();
//获取action配置的method属性
String method = mapping.getMethod();
Configuration config = configurationManager.getConfiguration();
//根据执行上下文参数,命名空间,名称等创建用户自定义Action的代理对象
ActionProxy proxy = config.getContainer().getInstance(ActionProxyFactory.class).createActionProxy(
namespace, name, method, extraContext, true, false);
request.setAttribute(ServletActionContext.STRUTS_VALUESTACK_KEY, proxy.getInvocation().getStack());
// if the ActionMapping says to go straight to a result, do it!
//执行execute方法,并转向结果
if (mapping.getResult() != null) {
Result result = mapping.getResult();
result.execute(proxy.getInvocation());
} else {
proxy.execute();
}
// If there was a previous value stack then set it back onto the request
if (!nullStack) {
request.setAttribute(ServletActionContext.STRUTS_VALUESTACK_KEY, stack);
}
} catch (ConfigurationException e) {
// WW-2874 Only log error if in devMode
if(devMode) {
String reqStr = request.getRequestURI();
if (request.getQueryString() != null) {
reqStr = reqStr + "?" + request.getQueryString();
}
LOG.error("Could not find action or result\n" + reqStr, e);
}
else {
LOG.warn("Could not find action or result", e);
}
sendError(request, response, context, HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, e);
} catch (Exception e) {
sendError(request, response, context, HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, e);
} finally {
UtilTimerStack.pop(timerKey);
}
}
文中对如何解析Struts.xml,如何将URL与action映射匹配为分析,有需要的我后续补全,因为StrutsXmlConfigurationProvider继承XmlConfigurationProvider,并在register方法回调父类的register,有兴趣的可以深入阅读下下XmlConfigurationProvider源码:
public void register(ContainerBuilder containerBuilder, LocatableProperties props) throws ConfigurationException {
if (servletContext != null && !containerBuilder.contains(ServletContext.class)) {
containerBuilder.factory(ServletContext.class, new Factory<ServletContext>() {
public ServletContext create(Context context) throws Exception {
return servletContext;
}
});
}
//调用父类的register,关键点所在
super.register(containerBuilder, props);
}
struts2-core-2.2.1.jar包中struts-2.1.7.dtd对于Action的定义如下:
<!ELEMENT action (param|result|interceptor-ref|exception-mapping)*> <!ATTLIST action name CDATA #REQUIRED class CDATA #IMPLIED method CDATA #IMPLIED converter CDATA #IMPLIED >
从上述DTD中可见Action元素可以含有name 、class 、method 、converter 属性。
XmlConfigurationProvider解析struts.xml配置的Action元素:
protected void addAction(Element actionElement, PackageConfig.Builder packageContext) throws ConfigurationException {
String name = actionElement.getAttribute("name");
String className = actionElement.getAttribute("class");
String methodName = actionElement.getAttribute("method");
Location location = DomHelper.getLocationObject(actionElement);
if (location == null) {
LOG.warn("location null for " + className);
}
//methodName should be null if it's not set
methodName = (methodName.trim().length() > 0) ? methodName.trim() : null;
// if there isnt a class name specified for an <action/> then try to
// use the default-class-ref from the <package/>
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(className)) {
// if there is a package default-class-ref use that, otherwise use action support
/* if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(packageContext.getDefaultClassRef())) {
className = packageContext.getDefaultClassRef();
} else {
className = ActionSupport.class.getName();
}*/
} else {
if (!verifyAction(className, name, location)) {
if (LOG.isErrorEnabled())
LOG.error("Unable to verify action [#0] with class [#1], from [#2]", name, className, location.toString());
return;
}
}
Map<String, ResultConfig> results;
try {
results = buildResults(actionElement, packageContext);
} catch (ConfigurationException e) {
throw new ConfigurationException("Error building results for action " + name + " in namespace " + packageContext.getNamespace(), e, actionElement);
}
List<InterceptorMapping> interceptorList = buildInterceptorList(actionElement, packageContext);
List<ExceptionMappingConfig> exceptionMappings = buildExceptionMappings(actionElement, packageContext);
ActionConfig actionConfig = new ActionConfig.Builder(packageContext.getName(), name, className)
.methodName(methodName)
.addResultConfigs(results)
.addInterceptors(interceptorList)
.addExceptionMappings(exceptionMappings)
.addParams(XmlHelper.getParams(actionElement))
.location(location)
.build();
packageContext.addActionConfig(name, actionConfig);
if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
LOG.debug("Loaded " + (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(packageContext.getNamespace()) ? (packageContext.getNamespace() + "/") : "") + name + " in '" + packageContext.getName() + "' package:" + actionConfig);
}
}
工作中不涉及Struts2,本周工作有个2天的空档期,稍微看了下struts2的文档,写了个demo,从源码的角度研究了下运行原理,如有分析不当请指出,我后续逐步完善更正,大家共同提高。
