ContextLoaderListener的作用就是启动web容器时,自动装配ApplicationContext的配置信息。因为它实现了ServletContextListener接口,当web容器启动时,会触发ServletContextListener的contextInitialized方法。
public interface ServletContextListener extends EventListener {
public void contextInitialized ( ServletContextEvent sce );
public void contextDestroyed ( ServletContextEvent sce );
}
一般在web.xml中都会有如下配置,ContextLoaderListener是一个上下文载入器,同时它实现了ServletContextListener接口,也是一个最常用的Servlet监听器。
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListenerlistener-class>
listener>
ServletContext启动之后会调用ServletContextListener的contextInitialized方法,我们进入到ContextLoaderListener的contextInitialized方法体。
public class ContextLoaderListener implements ServletContextListener {
private ContextLoader contextLoader;
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
this.contextLoader = createContextLoader();
this.contextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
}
protected ContextLoader createContextLoader() {
return new ContextLoader();
}
……
}
public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext)
throws IllegalStateException, BeansException {
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!");
}
try {
//载入根上下文的双亲上下文
ApplicationContext parent = loadParentContext(servletContext);
this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext, parent);
servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);
currentContextPerThread.put(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(), this.context);
……
return this.context;
}
……
}
上述代码首先判断在ServletContext中是否已经有根上下文存在了,如果存在,则抛出异常提示创建失败,如果不存在。
protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(
ServletContext servletContext, ApplicationContext parent) throws BeansException {
Class contextClass = determineContextClass(servletContext);
if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) {
throw new ApplicationContextException("Custom context class [" + contextClass.getName() +
"] is not of type [" + ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.getName() + "]");
}
ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac =
(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass);
wac.setParent(parent);
wac.setServletContext(servletContext);
wac.setConfigLocation(servletContext.getInitParameter(CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM));
customizeContext(servletContext, wac);
wac.refresh();
return wac;
}
protected Class determineContextClass(ServletContext servletContext) throws ApplicationContextException {
String contextClassName = servletContext.getInitParameter(CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM);
if (contextClassName != null) {
try {
return ClassUtils.forName(contextClassName);
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException(
"Failed to load custom context class [" + contextClassName + "]", ex);
}
}
else {
contextClassName = defaultStrategies.getProperty(WebApplicationContext.class.getName());
try {
return ClassUtils.forName(contextClassName, ContextLoader.class.getClassLoader());
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException(
"Failed to load default context class [" + contextClassName + "]", ex);
}
}
}
static {
try {
ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH, ContextLoader.class);
defaultStrategies = PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties(resource);
}
catch (IOException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Could not load 'ContextLoader.properties': " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
private static final String DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH = "ContextLoader.properties";
根据上述静态代码块的内容,我们查看当前类ContextLoader同样目录下的ContextLoader.properties文件,内容如下:
org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext=org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext
综上分析,在初始化的过程中,首先读取ContextLoader.properties内容,根据其中的配置提取将要实现WebApplicationContext接口的实现类,并根据这个实现类通过反射方式创建实例对象。
再回到ContextLoader的initWebApplicationContext方法中,createWebApplicationContext方法执行结束后,需要将实例对象记录到servletContext中,并映射当前的类加载器与创建的实例对象到全局变量currentContextPerThread中。
在完成对ContextLoaderListener的初始化之后,Web容器开始初始化DispatcherServlet。在Servlet的初始化阶段会调用其init方法,DispatcherServlet继承自FrameworkServlet,而FrameworkServlet继承自HttpServletBean,在HttpServletBean中找到了init方法。
public final void init() throws ServletException {
……
PropertyValues pvs = new ServletConfigPropertyValues(getServletConfig(), this.requiredProperties);
if (!pvs.isEmpty()) {
try {
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) {
if (logger.isErrorEnabled()) {
logger.error("Failed to set bean properties on servlet '" + getServletName() + "'", ex);
}
throw ex;
}
}
initServletBean();
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Servlet '" + getServletName() + "' configured successfully");
}
}
DispatcherServlet的初始化过程主要是先将web.xml中的init节点内容解析成Servlet类型实例,再将Servlet类型实例转换成BeanWrapper类型实例。最后进入initServletBean方法进行具体的初始化,FrameworkServlet扩展了此方法。
protected final void initServletBean() throws ServletException {
……
try {
this.webApplicationContext = initWebApplicationContext();
initFrameworkServlet();
}
……
}
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;
}
