Tomcat源码阅读(四)-热部署

热部署

热部署和热加载是类似的，都是在不重启Tomcat的情况下，使得应用的最新代码生效。但热部署表示重新部署应用，它的执行主体就不能是Context了，而是Host。

在上一篇《Tomcat源码阅读(三)-热加载》阅读中发现，StandardEngine会开启一个由ContainerBase中定义的守护线程ContainerBackgroundProcessor，来执行当前容器以及所有子容器的backgroundProcess方法，并且一般容器(如StandardContext)在调用完自己的backgroundProcess方法之后，还会调用父类的backgroundProcess，也就是ContainerBase中的backgroundProcess。
ContainerBase中的backgroundProcess方法：

public void backgroundProcess() {

	Cluster cluster = getClusterInternal();
	if (cluster != null) {
		try {
			cluster.backgroundProcess();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			log.warn(sm.getString("containerBase.backgroundProcess.cluster",
					cluster), e);
		}
	}
	Realm realm = getRealmInternal();
	if (realm != null) {
		try {
			realm.backgroundProcess();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			log.warn(sm.getString("containerBase.backgroundProcess.realm", realm), e);
		}
	}
	Valve current = pipeline.getFirst();
	while (current != null) {
		try {
			current.backgroundProcess();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			log.warn(sm.getString("containerBase.backgroundProcess.valve", current), e);
		}
		current = current.getNext();
	}
	
	// 触发PERIODIC_EVENT事件，而StandardHost有一个HostConfig监听器,就是在此处执行的热部署！
	fireLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.PERIODIC_EVENT, null);
}

HostConfig#lifecycleEvent:

public void lifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent event) {

	// Identify the host we are associated with
	try {
		host = (Host) event.getLifecycle();
		if (host instanceof StandardHost) {
			setCopyXML(((StandardHost) host).isCopyXML());
			setDeployXML(((StandardHost) host).isDeployXML());
			setUnpackWARs(((StandardHost) host).isUnpackWARs());
			setContextClass(((StandardHost) host).getContextClass());
		}
	} catch (ClassCastException e) {
		log.error(sm.getString("hostConfig.cce", event.getLifecycle()), e);
		return;
	}

	// Process the event that has occurred
	if (event.getType().equals(Lifecycle.PERIODIC_EVENT)) {
	
		// 此处就是进行热部署
		check();
	} else if (event.getType().equals(Lifecycle.BEFORE_START_EVENT)) {
		beforeStart();
	} else if (event.getType().equals(Lifecycle.START_EVENT)) {
		start();
	} else if (event.getType().equals(Lifecycle.STOP_EVENT)) {
		stop();
	}
}

HostConfig#check():

protected void check() {
	
	// 如果Context配置了autoDeploy =true
	if (host.getAutoDeploy()) {
		// Check for resources modification to trigger redeployment
		DeployedApplication[] apps =
			deployed.values().toArray(new DeployedApplication[0]);
		for (int i = 0; i < apps.length; i++) {
			if (!isServiced(apps[i].name))
				checkResources(apps[i], false);
		}

		// Check for old versions of applications that can now be undeployed
		if (host.getUndeployOldVersions()) {
			checkUndeploy();
		}

		// 此处最终执行热部署
		// Hotdeploy applications
		deployApps();
	}
}
