DispatcherServlet的启动和初始化

DispatcherServlet的初始化与Servlet的初始化相关联。DispatcherServlet的初始化是在其基类HttpServletBean中做的。init中的initServletBean是在其子类FrameworkServlet中实现的。initServletBean会创建上下文。

public final void init() throws ServletException {
	if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
		logger.debug("Initializing servlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
	}

	// Set bean properties from init parameters.
	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;
		}
	}

	// Let subclasses do whatever initialization they like.
	initServletBean();

	if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
		logger.debug("Servlet '" + getServletName() + "' configured successfully");
	}
}

protected final void initServletBean() throws ServletException {
	getServletContext().log("Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
	if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
		this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "': initialization started");
	}
	long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

	try {
		this.webApplicationContext = initWebApplicationContext();
		initFrameworkServlet();
	}
	catch (ServletException | RuntimeException ex) {
		this.logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
		throw ex;
	}

	if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
		long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
		this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "': initialization completed in " +
				elapsedTime + " ms");
	}
}

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;
}

protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(@Nullable ApplicationContext parent) {
	Class contextClass = getContextClass();
	if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
		this.logger.debug("Servlet with name '" + getServletName() +
				"' will try to create custom WebApplicationContext context of class '" +
				contextClass.getName() + "'" + ", using parent context [" + parent + "]");
	}
	if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) {
		throw new ApplicationContextException(
				"Fatal initialization error in servlet with name '" + getServletName() +
				"': custom WebApplicationContext class [" + contextClass.getName() +
				"] is not of type ConfigurableWebApplicationContext");
	}
	ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac =
			(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass);

	wac.setEnvironment(getEnvironment());
	wac.setParent(parent);
	String configLocation = getContextConfigLocation();
	if (configLocation != null) {
		wac.setConfigLocation(configLocation);
	}
	configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(wac);

	return wac;
}

创建完上下文后，在子类DispatcherServlet的onFresh中会调用initStrategies来初始化spring mvc框架。LocaleResolver用来支持国际化，HandlerMapping是请求到控制器之间的映射，ViewResolver用来视图生成。如果没有找到对应的bean,会使用默认的，在DispatcherServlet.properties中有配置默认的策略。

protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context) {
	initMultipartResolver(context);
	initLocaleResolver(context);
	initThemeResolver(context);
	initHandlerMappings(context);
	initHandlerAdapters(context);
	initHandlerExceptionResolvers(context);
	initRequestToViewNameTranslator(context);
	initViewResolvers(context);
	initFlashMapManager(context);
}
