DispatcherServlet初始化分析

HttpServletBean init方法

在servlet初始化阶段会调用其init方法，所以首先看DispatcherServlet中是否重写了init方法，在其父类HttpServletBean中找到了该方法。

    public final void init() throws ServletException {
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            logger.debug("Initializing servlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
        }

        // Set bean properties from init parameters.
        try {
            PropertyValues pvs = new ServletConfigPropertyValues(getServletConfig(), this.requiredProperties);
            BeanWrapper bw = PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(this);
            ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new ServletContextResourceLoader(getServletContext());
            bw.registerCustomEditor(Resource.class, new ResourceEditor(resourceLoader, getEnvironment()));
            initBeanWrapper(bw);
            bw.setPropertyValues(pvs, true);
        }
        catch (BeansException ex) {
            logger.error("Failed to set bean properties on servlet '" + getServletName() + "'", ex);
            throw ex;
        }

        // Let subclasses do whatever initialization they like.
        initServletBean();

        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            logger.debug("Servlet '" + getServletName() + "' configured successfully");
        }
    }

将当前的servlet类型转化为BeanWrapper类型实例，以便使用Spring中提供的注入功能进行对应属性的注入。

WebApplicationContext的初始化

initWebApplicationContext函数的功能就是创建或者刷新WebApplicationContext实例并对servlet功能所使用的变量进行初始化

    protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext() {
        WebApplicationContext rootContext =
                WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());
        WebApplicationContext wac = null;

        if (this.webApplicationContext != null) {
            // A context instance was injected at construction time -> use it
            wac = this.webApplicationContext;
            if (wac instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
                ConfigurableWebApplicationContext cwac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) wac;
                if (!cwac.isActive()) {
                    // The context has not yet been refreshed -> provide services such as
                    // setting the parent context, setting the application context id, etc
                    if (cwac.getParent() == null) {
                        // The context instance was injected without an explicit parent -> set
                        // the root application context (if any; may be null) as the parent
                        cwac.setParent(rootContext);
                    }
                    configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac);
                }
            }
        }
        if (wac == null) {
            // No context instance was injected at construction time -> see if one
            // has been registered in the servlet context. If one exists, it is assumed
            // that the parent context (if any) has already been set and that the
            // user has performed any initialization such as setting the context id
            wac = findWebApplicationContext();
        }
        if (wac == null) {
            // No context instance is defined for this servlet -> create a local one
            wac = createWebApplicationContext(rootContext);
        }

        if (!this.refreshEventReceived) {
            // Either the context is not a ConfigurableApplicationContext with refresh
            // support or the context injected at construction time had already been
            // refreshed -> trigger initial onRefresh manually here.
            onRefresh(wac);
        }

        if (this.publishContext) {
            // Publish the context as a servlet context attribute.
            String attrName = getServletContextAttributeName();
            getServletContext().setAttribute(attrName, wac);
            if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                this.logger.debug("Published WebApplicationContext of servlet '" + getServletName() +
                        "' as ServletContext attribute with name [" + attrName + "]");
            }
        }

        return wac;
    }

其中代码“WebApplicationContext rootContext =WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());“就是为了获取ContextLoaderListener初始化的webApplicationContext，”wac = createWebApplicationContext(rootContext);”创建了并刷新了WebApplicationContext。

    protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(ApplicationContext parent) {
        Class<?> contextClass = getContextClass();
        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            this.logger.debug("Servlet with name '" + getServletName() +
                    "' will try to create custom WebApplicationContext context of class '" +
                    contextClass.getName() + "'" + ", using parent context [" + parent + "]");
        }
        if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) {
            throw new ApplicationContextException(
                    "Fatal initialization error in servlet with name '" + getServletName() +
                    "': custom WebApplicationContext class [" + contextClass.getName() +
                    "] is not of type ConfigurableWebApplicationContext");
        }
        ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac =
                (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass);

        wac.setEnvironment(getEnvironment());
        wac.setParent(parent);
        wac.setConfigLocation(getContextConfigLocation());

        configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(wac);

        return wac;
    }

”wac.setParent(parent);“servlet中的webapplicationContext复用/共享contextLoaderListener中的webapplicationContext.

onRefresh

onRefresh是FrameworkServlet类中提供的模板方法，在其子类DispatcherServlet中进行了重写，主要用于刷新Spring在web功能实现所必须使用的全局变量。

    protected void onRefresh(ApplicationContext context) {
        initStrategies(context);
    }

/**
     * Initialize the strategy objects that this servlet uses.
     * <p>May be overridden in subclasses in order to initialize further strategy objects.
     */
    protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context) {
       //初始化MutipartResolver
        initMultipartResolver(context);
        initLocaleResolver(context);
        initThemeResolver(context);
        initHandlerMappings(context);
        initHandlerAdapters(context);
        initHandlerExceptionResolvers(context);
        initRequestToViewNameTranslator(context);
        initViewResolvers(context);
        initFlashMapManager(context);
    }

初始化HandlerAdapters

    /**
     * Initialize the HandlerAdapters used by this class.
     * <p>If no HandlerAdapter beans are defined in the BeanFactory for this namespace,
     * we default to SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter.
     */
    private void initHandlerAdapters(ApplicationContext context) {
        this.handlerAdapters = null;

        if (this.detectAllHandlerAdapters) {
            // Find all HandlerAdapters in the ApplicationContext, including ancestor contexts.
            Map<String, HandlerAdapter> matchingBeans =
                    BeanFactoryUtils.beansOfTypeIncludingAncestors(context, HandlerAdapter.class, true, false);
            if (!matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
                this.handlerAdapters = new ArrayList<HandlerAdapter>(matchingBeans.values());
                // We keep HandlerAdapters in sorted order.
                OrderComparator.sort(this.handlerAdapters);
            }
        }
        else {
            try {
                HandlerAdapter ha = context.getBean(HANDLER_ADAPTER_BEAN_NAME, HandlerAdapter.class);
                this.handlerAdapters = Collections.singletonList(ha);
            }
            catch (NoSuchBeanDefinitionException ex) {
                // Ignore, we'll add a default HandlerAdapter later.
            }
        }

        // Ensure we have at least some HandlerAdapters, by registering
        // default HandlerAdapters if no other adapters are found.
        if (this.handlerAdapters == null) {
            this.handlerAdapters = getDefaultStrategies(context, HandlerAdapter.class);
            if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                logger.debug("No HandlerAdapters found in servlet '" + getServletName() + "': using default");
            }
        }
    }

加载默认的适配器

    /**
     * Create a List of default strategy objects for the given strategy interface.
     * <p>The default implementation uses the "DispatcherServlet.properties" file (in the same
     * package as the DispatcherServlet class) to determine the class names. It instantiates
     * the strategy objects through the context's BeanFactory.
     * @param context the current WebApplicationContext
     * @param strategyInterface the strategy interface
     * @return the List of corresponding strategy objects
     */
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    protected <T> List<T> getDefaultStrategies(ApplicationContext context, Class<T> strategyInterface) {
        String key = strategyInterface.getName();
        String value = defaultStrategies.getProperty(key);
        if (value != null) {
            String[] classNames = StringUtils.commaDelimitedListToStringArray(value);
            List<T> strategies = new ArrayList<T>(classNames.length);
            for (String className : classNames) {
                try {
                    Class<?> clazz = ClassUtils.forName(className, DispatcherServlet.class.getClassLoader());
                    Object strategy = createDefaultStrategy(context, clazz);
                    strategies.add((T) strategy);
                }
                catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                    throw new BeanInitializationException(
                            "Could not find DispatcherServlet's default strategy class [" + className +
                                    "] for interface [" + key + "]", ex);
                }
                catch (LinkageError err) {
                    throw new BeanInitializationException(
                            "Error loading DispatcherServlet's default strategy class [" + className +
                                    "] for interface [" + key + "]: problem with class file or dependent class", err);
                }
            }
            return strategies;
        }
        else {
            return new LinkedList<T>();
        }
    }

在getDefaultStrategies函数中，spring会尝试从defaultStrategies中加载对应的HandlerAdapter的属性。defaultStrategies在DispatcherServlet静态代码块中被初始化

    static {
        // Load default strategy implementations from properties file.
        // This is currently strictly internal and not meant to be customized
        // by application developers.
        try {
        //DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH = "DispatcherServlet.properties"
            ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH, DispatcherServlet.class);
            defaultStrategies = PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties(resource);
        }
        catch (IOException ex) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Could not load 'DispatcherServlet.properties': " + ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

DispatcherServlet.properties文件：

org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerAdapter=org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.HttpRequestHandlerAdapter,\
    org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter,\
    org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter

ContextLoaderListener初始化的前后文和DispatcherServlet初始化的上下文关系

从图中可以看出：

ContextLoaderListener初始化的上下文加载的Bean是对于整个应用程序共享的，不管是使用什么表现层技术，一般如DAO层、Service层Bean；

DispatcherServlet初始化的上下文加载的Bean是只对Spring Web MVC有效的Bean，如Controller、HandlerMapping、HandlerAdapter等等，该初始化上下文应该只加载Web相关组件。
