tomcat容器启动如何加载spring容器

tomcat启动时会通过StandardContext.listenerStart() 初始化spring的监听器，大致流程如下：

1.tomcat在启动web容器的时候会启动一个叫ServletContextListener的监听器

2.每当在web容器中有ServletContextListener这个接口被实例化的时候，web容器会通知ServletContextListener被实例的对象去执行其contextInitialized()的方法进行相应的业务处理，而spring框架在设计的过程中ContextLoadListener这个类实现了ServletContextListener这个接口，因此每当有ContextLoadListener这个类被实例化的时候，web容器会通知他执行contextInitialized（）这个方法。

contextInitialized方法如下：

/**
 * Initialize the root web application context.
 * 初始化WebApplicationContext容器,initWebApplicationContext做了三件事：
 * 1.创建WebApplicationContext
 * 2.加载对应的Spring文件创建的Bean实例
 * 3.WebApplicationContext放入ServletContext（既javaweb的全局变量中）
 */
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
   initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
}

/**
 * Close the root web application context.
 * 销毁WebApplicationContext容器
 */
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
   closeWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
   ContextCleanupListener.cleanupAttributes(event.getServletContext());
}

initWebApplicationContext方法如下：

public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
   if (servletContext.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE) != null) {
      throw new IllegalStateException(
            "Cannot initialize context because there is already a root application context present - " +
            "check whether you have multiple ContextLoader* definitions in your web.xml!");
   }

   servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext");
   Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ContextLoader.class);
   if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
      logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started");
   }
   long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

   try {
      // 处理spring容器是否已经创建（只创建没有创建spring的各个bean）
      if (this.context == null) {
         this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
      }
      if (this.context instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
         ConfigurableWebApplicationContext cwac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) this.context;
         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 ->
               // determine parent for root web application context, if any.
               ApplicationContext parent = loadParentContext(servletContext);
               cwac.setParent(parent);
            }
            //Spring容器创建完成后，加载spring容器的各个组件
            configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac, servletContext);
         }
      }
      servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);

      ClassLoader ccl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
      if (ccl == ContextLoader.class.getClassLoader()) {
         currentContext = this.context;
      }
      else if (ccl != null) {
         currentContextPerThread.put(ccl, this.context);
      }

      if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
         long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
         logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext initialized in " + elapsedTime + " ms");
      }

      return this.context;
   }
   catch (RuntimeException | Error ex) {
      logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
      servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, ex);
      throw ex;
   }
}

Spring容器创建完成后，加载spring容器的各个组件 configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext方法如下：

protected void configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac, ServletContext sc) {
   if (ObjectUtils.identityToString(wac).equals(wac.getId())) {
      // The application context id is still set to its original default value
      // -> assign a more useful id based on available information
      String idParam = sc.getInitParameter(CONTEXT_ID_PARAM);
      if (idParam != null) {
         wac.setId(idParam);
      }
      else {
         // Generate default id...
         wac.setId(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX +
               ObjectUtils.getDisplayString(sc.getContextPath()));
      }
   }

   wac.setServletContext(sc);
   //设置Spring容器启动的起始配置文件
   String configLocationParam = sc.getInitParameter(CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM);
   if (configLocationParam != null) {
      wac.setConfigLocation(configLocationParam);
   }

   // The wac environment's #initPropertySources will be called in any case when the context
   // is refreshed; do it eagerly here to ensure servlet property sources are in place for
   // use in any post-processing or initialization that occurs below prior to #refresh
   ConfigurableEnvironment env = wac.getEnvironment();
   if (env instanceof ConfigurableWebEnvironment) {
      ((ConfigurableWebEnvironment) env).initPropertySources(sc, null);
   }

   customizeContext(sc, wac);
   //初始化spring的各个组件，以及spring容器中的各个bean
   wac.refresh();
}

Spring容器加载bean的过程入口：wac.refresh();

  一步步跟进代码，发现最后真正加载bean的源码为registerBeanPostProcessors

  //加载容器中的bean
public static void registerBeanPostProcessors(
      ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory, AbstractApplicationContext applicationContext) {

   String[] postProcessorNames = beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(BeanPostProcessor.class, true, false);

   // Register BeanPostProcessorChecker that logs an info message when
   // a bean is created during BeanPostProcessor instantiation, i.e. when
   // a bean is not eligible for getting processed by all BeanPostProcessors.
   int beanProcessorTargetCount = beanFactory.getBeanPostProcessorCount() + 1 + postProcessorNames.length;
   beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new BeanPostProcessorChecker(beanFactory, beanProcessorTargetCount));

   // Separate between BeanPostProcessors that implement PriorityOrdered,
   // Ordered, and the rest.
   List priorityOrderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>();
   List internalPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>();
   List orderedPostProcessorNames = new ArrayList<>();
   List nonOrderedPostProcessorNames = new ArrayList<>();
   for (String ppName : postProcessorNames) {
      if (beanFactory.isTypeMatch(ppName, PriorityOrdered.class)) {
         BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
         priorityOrderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
         if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
            internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
         }
      }
      else if (beanFactory.isTypeMatch(ppName, Ordered.class)) {
         orderedPostProcessorNames.add(ppName);
      }
      else {
         nonOrderedPostProcessorNames.add(ppName);
      }
   }

   // First, register the BeanPostProcessors that implement PriorityOrdered.
   sortPostProcessors(priorityOrderedPostProcessors, beanFactory);
   registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, priorityOrderedPostProcessors);

   // Next, register the BeanPostProcessors that implement Ordered.
   List orderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>(orderedPostProcessorNames.size());
   for (String ppName : orderedPostProcessorNames) {
      BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
      orderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
      if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
         internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
      }
   }
   sortPostProcessors(orderedPostProcessors, beanFactory);
   registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, orderedPostProcessors);

   // Now, register all regular BeanPostProcessors.
   //存放spring容器中加载的各个bean
   List nonOrderedPostProcessors = new ArrayList<>(nonOrderedPostProcessorNames.size());
   for (String ppName : nonOrderedPostProcessorNames) {
      BeanPostProcessor pp = beanFactory.getBean(ppName, BeanPostProcessor.class);
      nonOrderedPostProcessors.add(pp);
      if (pp instanceof MergedBeanDefinitionPostProcessor) {
         internalPostProcessors.add(pp);
      }
   }
   registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, nonOrderedPostProcessors);

   // Finally, re-register all internal BeanPostProcessors.
   sortPostProcessors(internalPostProcessors, beanFactory);
   registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory, internalPostProcessors);

   // Re-register post-processor for detecting inner beans as ApplicationListeners,
   // moving it to the end of the processor chain (for picking up proxies etc).
   beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new ApplicationListenerDetector(applicationContext));
}
