Spring的启动是基于 web 容器的,所有 web工程的初始配置都写在 web.xml 中,该文件一般配置了context 参数,servlet 和监听器(listener)。< context-param >是初始化 Context 的配置,< listener >调用 Spring 包中的 ContextLoaderListener
,用于监听 web 容器初始化事件,并加载相关配置

Spring 的启动流程可以分为两部分:
Spring 的启动其实就是 IoC 容器的启动过程,其核心监听器 ContextLoaderListener 父类是 ContextLoader,实现了 ServletContextListener 接口,在容器启动时会触发其 contextInitialized 初始化方法
public class ContextLoaderListener extends ContextLoader implements ServletContextListener {
/**
* Initialize the root web application context.
*/
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
}
}
此处 initWebApplicationContext() 是 ContextLoader 中的方法, 该方法用于对 整个Spring 框架的ApplicationContext 进行初始化,在这里进入了spring IoC的初始化。
这个方法主要做了三件事:
【1】createWebApplicationContext()
实际创建 XmlWebApplicationContext 作为 RootContext
【2】configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext()
加载 Spring 配置文件中的配置并创建 bean
【3】servletContext.setAttribute()
将 WebApplicationContext 放入 ServletContext 全局域
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!");
}
······
try {
// Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that
// it is available on ServletContext shutdown.
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);
}
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);
}
······
return this.context;
}
catch (RuntimeException ex) {
logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, ex);
throw ex;
}
catch (Error err) {
logger.error("Context initialization failed", err);
servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, err);
throw err;
}
}
configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac, servletContext)
会从 web.xml 中读取 contextConfigLocation 配置,也就是spring xml文件配置,将其存入 WebApplicationContext 中,最后调用refresh()
方法执行所有Java对象的创建工作。
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);
// 获取 contextConfigLocation 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);
wac.refresh(); // Spring IOC 创建 Bean
}
refresh()
方法的实现在 AbstractApplicationContext
类中,其主要方法功能如图所示。
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.
postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);
// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);
// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);
// Initialize message source for this context.
initMessageSource();
// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
initApplicationEventMulticaster();
// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
onRefresh();
// Check for listener beans and register them.
registerListeners();
// Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);
// Last step: publish corresponding event.
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.
destroyBeans();
// Reset 'active' flag.
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();
}
}
}
GenericServlet#init()->HttpServletBean#init()->FrameworkServlet#initServletBean()->initWebApplicationContext()
此处 FrameworkServlet # initWebApplicationContext() 方法与 Spring框架创建 RootContext 流程大致相同,分为以下几步,只不过设置的 parent context 不是 ServletConext 而是 Spring 核心容器 RootContext
【1】WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext
获取 RootContext
【2】使用已有或者新建的 WebApplicationContext 加载 SpringMVC 配置文件中的配置并创建 bean
【3】onRefresh()
调用 DispatcherServlet#initStrategies()
进行 servlet 初始化
【4】将 servlet 自己的 WebApplicationContext 存入 ServletContext
protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext() {
// 获取 root context
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;
}
一个web应用部署在 web 容器中,web容器为其提供一个全局域 ServletContext,作为spring IoC容器 WebApplicationContext 的宿主环境
在web.xml 中配置的 contextLoaderListener 会在容器启动时初始化 一个WebApplicationContext 作为 RootContext。这是一个接口类,其实际的实现类是 XmlWebApplicationContext (在 ContextLoader# determineContextClass()
方法中决定)。这个就是 spring 的核心 IoC 容器,其对应 bean 定义的配置由web.xml 中的 context-param 标签指定,并通过 refresh()方法
完成 bean 创建。IoC容器初始化完毕后,Spring 将以 WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE
作为 Key,将创建的 XmlWebApplicationContext 对象存储到 ServletContext 中,便于之后作为 RootContext 使用
protected Class<?> determineContextClass(ServletContext servletContext) {
// 如果在 web.xml 中直接指定了 ContextClass
String contextClassName = servletContext.getInitParameter(CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM);
if (contextClassName != null) {
try {
return ClassUtils.forName(contextClassName, ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader());
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException(
"Failed to load custom context class [" + contextClassName + "]", ex);
}
}
else {
// 没有直接指定,则读取属性文件 ContextLoader.properties 的配置
/** org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext=
org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext
*/
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);
}
}
}
contextLoaderListener 监听器初始化完毕后,开始初始化 web.xml 中配置的servlet。以DispatcherServlet为例,DispatcherServlet 在初始化的时候会建立自己的 context,用以持有spring mvc相关的 bean,并完成 bean 的创建。初始化时设置其 parent context 为 Spring 的核心容器 RootContext,这样每个 servlet 都拥有自己的 context,即拥有自己独立的bean空间,同时又共享 RootContext 中定义的那些bean。当 Spring 组件在执行 getBean 时,如果在自己的 context 中找不到对应的bean,则会在父ApplicationContext (通常为Spring 核心容器 RootContext)中去找,这也就解释了在 DispatcherServlet 中为何可以获取到由 ContextLoaderListener 创建的ApplicationContext中的bean。
