BeanDefinition的载入和解析

定位并获取Resource文件后，就要对它进行载入和解析的工作了。
这些BeanDefinition是通过一个HashMap来保存的。
载入的入口就是refresh()方法

以下是AbstractApplicationContext 中 refresh()的代码：

@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.
			ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();

			// Prepare the bean factory for use in this context.
			prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);

			try {
				// Allows post-processing of the bean factory in context subclasses.
				//设置beanFactory的后置处理
				postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);

				// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
				//调用后处理器
				invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
				//注册后处理器
				registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Initialize message source for this context.
				//对上下文中的消息源初始化
				initMessageSource();

				// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
				//初始化上下文中的事件机制
				initApplicationEventMulticaster();

				// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
				//初始化其他特殊的Bean
				onRefresh();

				// Check for listener beans and register them.
				//注册Bean的监听器并将这些Bean向容器注册
				registerListeners();

				// Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
				//实例化所有非懒加载的单件
				finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);

				// Last step: publish corresponding event.
				//发布容器事件，结束
				finishRefresh();
			}

			catch (BeansException ex) {
				if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
					logger.warn("Exception encountered during context initialization - " +
							"cancelling refresh attempt: " + ex);
				}

				// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
				//如果出异常，需要销毁所有实例化过的Bean（防止Bean资源占用）
				destroyBeans();

				// Reset 'active' flag.
				//重置active标志位
				cancelRefresh(ex);

				// Propagate exception to caller.
				throw ex;
			}

			finally {
				// Reset common introspection caches in Spring's core, since we
				// might not ever need metadata for singleton beans anymore...
				resetCommonCaches();
			}
		}
	}

再看看初始化BeanFactory的方法
初始化过程是AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext中的refreshBean Factory（）方法

@Override
	protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {
	//如果在此之前已经创建了Bean Factory则销毁后重新创建
		if (hasBeanFactory()) {
			destroyBeans();
			closeBeanFactory();
		}
		try {
		//这里使用的是DefaultListableBeanFactory作为IOC容器
			DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();
			beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());
			customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);
			
			//此处加载BeanDefinitions
			loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);
			synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
				this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
			}
		}
		catch (IOException ex) {
			throw new ApplicationContextException("I/O error parsing bean definition source for " + getDisplayName(), ex);
		}
	}

继续追一下loadBeanDefinitions（BeanFactory factory）方法。我们可以看一看AbstractXmlApplicationContext.java 中的实现

@Override
	protected void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException, IOException {
		// Create a new XmlBeanDefinitionReader for the given BeanFactory.
		XmlBeanDefinitionReader beanDefinitionReader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanFactory);

		// Configure the bean definition reader with this context's
		// resource loading environment.
		beanDefinitionReader.setEnvironment(this.getEnvironment());
		beanDefinitionReader.setResourceLoader(this);
		beanDefinitionReader.setEntityResolver(new ResourceEntityResolver(this));

		// Allow a subclass to provide custom initialization of the reader,
		// then proceed with actually loading the bean definitions.
		initBeanDefinitionReader(beanDefinitionReader);
		loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader);
	}

loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader) 的实现：

  protected void loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader) throws BeansException, IOException {
    		Resource[] configResources = getConfigResources();
    		if (configResources != null) {
    			reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configResources);
    		}
    		String[] configLocations = getConfigLocations();
    		if (configLocations != null) {
    			reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configLocations);
    		}
    	}

参考上一篇Spring IOC的博文

ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource("beans.xml");
DefaultListableBeanFactory factory = new DefaultListableBeanFactory();
XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(factory);
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(resource);//通过回调的方式把Bean信息写入BeanFactory中

loadBeanDefinitions方法 跟前面所写的编程式调用很相似了

具体的解析实现细节就不一一赘述了。
