请结合Servlet工作原理阅读
在这之前，我简单的讲述一下观察者模式：
观察者模式又叫做发布-订阅（Publish/Subscribe）模式、源-监听（Source/Listener）模式。它定义了一种一对多的依赖关系，一个主题，多个观察者，当主题发生变化的时候，会主动的通知观察者，这样观察者便能针对主题发生的变化，执行某些对应的动作。观察者模式的应用非常广泛，如Java AWT事件模型，Servlet的监听器，Spring事件处理机制以及本文所讲述的Tomcat生命周期管理机制等等。

实现该模式，通常需要两个过程：
-
订阅者订阅

发布者发布

下面我给出一个具体示例：
抽象主题
-
package com.liyaocai;
/**
* 抽象主题 .
*
* @author liyaocai
* @version V1.0
* @date 2018/8/17 15:31
* @since 1.8
*/
public interface Observable {
/**
* 添加观察者
* @author liyaocai
* @param observer
* @return
* @throws
*/
void addObsrver(Observer observer);
/**
* 删除观察者
* @author liyaocai
* @param observer
* @return
* @throws
*/
void deletebserver(Observer observer);
/**
* 事件发生，通知观察者
* @author liyaocai
*/
void notifybservsers();
}
抽象观察者
package com.liyaocai;
/**
* 抽象观察者 .
*
* @author liyaocai
* @version V1.0
* @date 2018/8/17 15:41
* @since 1.8
*/
public interface Observer {
/**
* 更新方法，观察者根据传入的主题对象获取主题的上下文
*
* 根据传入的Object对象判断发生了何种事件
*/
void update(Observable observable, Object arg);
}
具体主题
package com.liyaocai;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
/**
* 模拟Tomcat容器 .
*
* @author liyaocai
* @version V1.0
* @date 2018/8/17 15:36
* @since 1.8
*/
public class Container implements Observable {
/**
* 观察者列表
*/
private List observers = new ArrayList<>();
@Override
public void addObsrver(Observer observer) {
observers.add(observer);
}
@Override
public void deletebserver(Observer observer) {
observers.remove(observer);
}
@Override
public void notifybservsers() {
for (Observer observer : observers) {
observer.update(this, "container start");
}
}
/**
* 容器启动方法,并且通知观察者
* @author liyaocai
* @param
* @return
* @throws
*/
public void start(){
System.out.println("container start");
notifybservsers();
}
}
具体观察者
package com.liyaocai;
/**
* 具体观察者，模拟容器监听类 .
*
* @author liyaocai
* @version V1.0
* @date 2018/8/17 15:44
* @since 1.8
*/
public class ContainerConfig implements Observer {
@Override
public void update(Observable observable, Object arg) {
String event = (String) arg;
if (event.equals("container start"))
{
System.out.println("container starting");
// do container configs
}
}
}
实际上，监听器模式也是如此，观察者(Observer)相当于事件监听者，被观察者(Observable)相当于事件源和事件，事件源经过事件的封装传给监听器，当事件源触发事件后，监听器接收到事件对象可以回调事件的方法。
Tomcat的生命周期管理
在了解了观察者模式之后，我们正式开始了解Tomcat的生命周期管理，在Tomcat的源码中，下面是相关的类：
- Lifecycle:相当于抽象主题角色，所有的容器类与组件实现类都实现了这个接口。如StandardContext
- LifecycleListener:相当于抽象观察者角色,具体的实现类有ContextConfig, HostConfig, EngineConfig类，它们在容器启动时与停止时触发。
- LifecycleEvent:生命周期事件，对主题与发生的事件进行封装。
- LifecycleSupport:生命周期管理的实用类，提供对观察者的添加，删除及通知观察者的方法。（Tomcat8.5中已经移除，使用CopyOnWriteArrayList来管理监听者集合）
- LifecycleException:生命周期异常
Lifecycle接口
Lifecycle相当于观察者模式中的抽象主题角色(Observable)，它定义了添加、删除及通知管理者的方法。并且定义了13个与生命周期相关的事件，Start和stop方法是Lifecycle最重要的两个方法，分别代表启动与停止。所有四种容器的标准实现类（StandardEngine, StandardHost, StandardContext,StandardWrapper）和基本组件(Logger,Loader,Manager等)的实现类都实现了Lifecycle接口。容器启动时，主要做三件事：调用组件的启动方法，启动组件；调用子容器的启动方法，启动子容器；通知容器的观察者，使其执行相应的启动动作。子容器启动也做这三件事，这样整个Tomcat便启动了。

我们来看一下具体的启动过程，
@Override
public final synchronized void start() throws LifecycleException {
//判断容器是否已经在启动或者已经启动
if (LifecycleState.STARTING_PREP.equals(state) || LifecycleState.STARTING.equals(state) ||
LifecycleState.STARTED.equals(state)) {
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
Exception e = new LifecycleException();
log.debug(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.alreadyStarted", toString()), e);
} else if (log.isInfoEnabled()) {
log.info(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.alreadyStarted", toString()));
}
return;
}
//容器未启动
if (state.equals(LifecycleState.NEW)) {
// 初始化容器，更改生命状态，通知容器观察者（由具体容器实现）
init();
} else if (state.equals(LifecycleState.FAILED)) {
// 初始化失败，则停止
stop();
} else if (!state.equals(LifecycleState.INITIALIZED) &&
!state.equals(LifecycleState.STOPPED)) {
invalidTransition(Lifecycle.BEFORE_START_EVENT);
}
try {
// 设置生命状态
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.STARTING_PREP, null, false);
//启动容器，调用子容器的启动方法，启动子容器，通知容器观察者（由具体容器实现）
startInternal();
if (state.equals(LifecycleState.FAILED)) {
// This is a 'controlled' failure. The component put itself into the
// FAILED state so call stop() to complete the clean-up.
stop();
} else if (!state.equals(LifecycleState.STARTING)) {
// Shouldn't be necessary but acts as a check that sub-classes are
// doing what they are supposed to.
invalidTransition(Lifecycle.AFTER_START_EVENT);
} else {
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.STARTED, null, false);
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
// This is an 'uncontrolled' failure so put the component into the
// FAILED state and throw an exception.
ExceptionUtils.handleThrowable(t);
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.FAILED, null, false);
throw new LifecycleException(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.startFail", toString()), t);
}
}
LifecycleListener接口
public interface LifecycleListener {
/**
* Acknowledge the occurrence of the specified event.
*
* @param event LifecycleEvent that has occurred
*/
public void lifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent event);
}
LifecycleListener接口提供了一个更新方法，监听器通过事件类型来做出响应操作，与上面的示例代码的观察者模式相比（一种变形），Event封装了事件源（也就是具体主题与事件的类型）。
LifecycleEvent
我们来看一下是如何封装的，
public final class LifecycleEvent extends EventObject {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* Construct a new LifecycleEvent with the specified parameters.
*
* @param lifecycle Component on which this event occurred
* @param type Event type (required)
* @param data Event data (if any)
*/
public LifecycleEvent(Lifecycle lifecycle, String type, Object data) {
super(lifecycle);
this.type = type;
this.data = data;
}
/**
* The event data associated with this event.
*/
private final Object data;
/**
* The event type this instance represents.
*/
private final String type;
/**
* @return the event data of this event.
*/
public Object getData() {
return data;
}
/**
* @return the Lifecycle on which this event occurred.
*/
public Lifecycle getLifecycle() {
return (Lifecycle) getSource();
}
/**
* @return the event type of this event.
*/
public String getType() {
return this.type;
}
}
可以看出，事件封装了事件源（具体的主题）、事件的类型以及需要事件的数据。
最后总结一下：tomcat的启动过程：调用组件的启动方法，启动组件；调用子容器的启动方法，启动子容器；通知容器的观察者，使其执行相应的启动动作。每一层次的容器都这样启动，最终整个Tomcat启动完毕。
