AbstractApplicationContext

spring初始化Ioc容器很重要的一个方法是由ApplicationContext子接口ConfigurableApplicationContext提供的refresh(),这个方法的作用是创建加载Spring容器配置（包括.xml配置，property文件和数据库模式等）。下面是各个refresh()调用的各个方法的作用解析：

@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.  
            //主要是创建beanFactory，同时加载配置文件.xml中的beanDefinition  
            //通过String[] configLocations = getConfigLocations()获取资源路径，然后加载beanDefinition  
            ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();  

            // Prepare the bean factory for use in this context.  
            //给beanFactory注册一些标准组建，如ClassLoader，StandardEnvironment，BeanProcess  
            prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);  

            try {  
                // Allows post-processing of the bean factory in context subclasses.  
                //提供给子类实现一些postProcess的注册，如AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext注册一些Servlet相关的  
                //postProcess，真对web进行生命周期管理的Scope，通过registerResolvableDependency()方法注册指定ServletRequest，HttpSession，WebRequest对象的工厂方法  
                postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);  

                // Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.  
                //调用所有BeanFactoryProcessor的postProcessBeanFactory()方法  
                invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);  

                // Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.  
                //注册BeanPostProcessor，BeanPostProcessor作用是用于拦截Bean的创建  
                registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);  

                // Initialize message source for this context.  
                //初始化消息Bean  
                initMessageSource();  

                // Initialize event multicaster for this context.  
                //初始化上下文的事件多播组建，ApplicationEvent触发时由multicaster通知给ApplicationListener  
                initApplicationEventMulticaster();  

                // Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.  
                //ApplicationContext初始化一些特殊的bean  
                onRefresh();  

                // Check for listener beans and register them.  
                //注册事件监听器，事件监听Bean统一注册到multicaster里头，ApplicationEvent事件触发后会由multicaster广播  
                registerListeners();  

                // Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.  
                //非延迟加载的单例Bean实例化  
                finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);  

                // Last step: publish corresponding event.  
                finishRefresh();  
            }  

            catch (BeansException ex) {  
                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;  
            }  
        }  
    }
