struts2配置文件的加载

首先来看一下web.xml中的struts2的过滤器

<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>

查看StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter这个过滤器，首先我们知道当tomcat服务器启动时，将会加载web.xml文件，加载到过滤器时就会执行过滤器的init方法，那么我们一起来看一下StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter的init()方法。

 public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
        InitOperations init = new InitOperations();
        Dispatcher dispatcher = null;
        try {
            FilterHostConfig config = new FilterHostConfig(filterConfig);
            init.initLogging(config);
            dispatcher = init.initDispatcher(config);
            init.initStaticContentLoader(config, dispatcher);

            prepare = new PrepareOperations(filterConfig.getServletContext(), dispatcher);
            execute = new ExecuteOperations(filterConfig.getServletContext(), dispatcher);
            this.excludedPatterns = init.buildExcludedPatternsList(dispatcher);

            postInit(dispatcher, filterConfig);
        } finally {
            if (dispatcher != null) {
                dispatcher.cleanUpAfterInit();
            }
            init.cleanup();
        }
    }

这时我们看到 dispatcher = init.initDispatcher(config);创建了一个dispatcher对象，我们来查看一下initDispatcher();

 public Dispatcher initDispatcher( HostConfig filterConfig ) {
        Dispatcher dispatcher = createDispatcher(filterConfig);
        dispatcher.init();
        return dispatcher;
    }

这里使用创建了一个dispatcher对象，查看一下createDispatcher方法。

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);
    }

这里是将过滤器里配置的init-param参数传递给了Dispatcher对象的initParams。我们继续来查看initDispatcher方法中的dispatcher的init()方法。

 public void init() {

        if (configurationManager == null) {
            configurationManager = createConfigurationManager(BeanSelectionProvider.DEFAULT_BEAN_NAME);
        }

        try {
            init_FileManager();
            init_DefaultProperties(); // [1]
            init_TraditionalXmlConfigurations(); // [2]
            init_LegacyStrutsProperties(); // [3]
            init_CustomConfigurationProviders(); // [5]
            init_FilterInitParameters() ; // [6]
            init_AliasStandardObjects() ; // [7]

            Container container = init_PreloadConfiguration();
            container.inject(this);
            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);
        }
    }
