本系列以Tomcat 8.5.33为例分析Tomcat的启动和请求处理过程。
启动脚本
与Tomcat有关的脚本都在Tomcat主目录的bin子目录中,其中与启动有关的脚本有startup.sh、catalina.sh和setclasspath.sh。启动Tomcat时只需执行startup.sh即可,其内容如下:
# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
while [ -h "$PRG" ] ; do
ls=`ls -ld "$PRG"`
link=`expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
if expr "$link" : '/.*' > /dev/null; then
PRG="$link"
else
PRG=`dirname "$PRG"`/"$link"
fi
done
PRGDIR=`dirname "$PRG"`
EXECUTABLE=catalina.sh
# Check that target executable exists
if $os400; then
# -x will Only work on the os400 if the files are:
# 1. owned by the user
# 2. owned by the PRIMARY group of the user
# this will not work if the user belongs in secondary groups
eval
else
if [ ! -x "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" ]; then
echo "Cannot find $PRGDIR/$EXECUTABLE"
echo "The file is absent or does not have execute permission"
echo "This file is needed to run this program"
exit 1
fi
fi
exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" start "$@"
该脚本主要做了两件事:
- 用while循环处理符号链接,ls变量存ls命令的结果,link变量存符号链接指向的文件路径,直到PRG的值不再是符号链接为止,以此找到Tomcat的主目录;
- exec命令执行catalina.sh,命令行参数由start和传递给startup.sh的命令行参数两部分组成。
catalina.sh利用setclasspath.sh检验JRE环境,然后根据传递给脚本的的命令行参数启动JVM,不同参数对应的分支代码如下,传给catalina.sh脚本的第一个命令行参数是给Bootstrap类传递的最后一个命令行参数。以默认情况为例,上文的startup.sh只为catalina.sh提供了start参数,则$@为空,因此会执行eval所示的代码。
if [ "$1" = "debug" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
elif [ "$1" = "run" ]; then
# 省略部分代码
elif [ "$1" = "start" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
shift
touch "$CATALINA_OUT"
if [ "$1" = "-security" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
else
eval $_NOHUP "\"$_RUNJAVA\"" "\"$LOGGING_CONFIG\"" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
-D$ENDORSED_PROP="\"$JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS\"" \
-classpath "\"$CLASSPATH\"" \
-Dcatalina.base="\"$CATALINA_BASE\"" \
-Dcatalina.home="\"$CATALINA_HOME\"" \
-Djava.io.tmpdir="\"$CATALINA_TMPDIR\"" \
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
>> "$CATALINA_OUT" 2>&1 "&"
fi
if [ ! -z "$CATALINA_PID" ]; then
echo $! > "$CATALINA_PID"
fi
echo "Tomcat started."
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
elif [ "$1" = "configtest" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
elif [ "$1" = "version" ] ; then
# 省略部分代码
else
echo "Usage: catalina.sh ( commands ... )"
# 省略部分代码
fi
用ps aux | grep tomcat可以看到对应的执行命令如下:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/conf/logging.properties

-Dignore.endorsed.dirs= -classpath /Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/bin/bootstrap.jar:/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33
-Dcatalina.home=/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/temp
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
- 虚拟机参数catalina.home是Tomcat的安装目录;
- 虚拟机参数catalina.base是Tomcat的工作目录,在有多个Tomcat时可以与catalina.home不同;
- 主类是org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap,命令行参数只有一个start。
Bootstrap类
Bootstrap类用于引导Tomcat的启动过程。
成员变量
Bootstrap类的成员变量如下:
/**
* Daemon object used by main.
*/
private static Bootstrap daemon = null;
private static final File catalinaBaseFile;
private static final File catalinaHomeFile;
/**
* Daemon reference.
*/
private Object catalinaDaemon = null;
ClassLoader commonLoader = null;
ClassLoader catalinaLoader = null;
ClassLoader sharedLoader = null;
- daemon引用一个Bootstrap实例,可以在启动后接受其他命令如stop;
- catalinaHomeFile表示Tomcat的安装目录;
- catalinaBaseFile表示Tomcat的工作目录;
- catalinaDaemon表示正在运行的Catalina实例;
- commonLoader、catalinaLoader和sharedLoader分别引用初始化过程中创建的三个类加载器。
静态代码块
静态代码块为catalinaHomeFile和catalinaBaseFile两个静态final成员变量赋值,其代码如下:
static {
// Will always be non-null
String userDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
// Home first
String home = System.getProperty(Globals.CATALINA_HOME_PROP);
File homeFile = null;
if (home != null) {
File f = new File(home);
try {
homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
}
}
if (homeFile == null) {
// First fall-back. See if current directory is a bin directory
// in a normal Tomcat install
File bootstrapJar = new File(userDir, "bootstrap.jar");
if (bootstrapJar.exists()) {
File f = new File(userDir, "..");
try {
homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
}
}
}
if (homeFile == null) {
// Second fall-back. Use current directory
File f = new File(userDir);
try {
homeFile = f.getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
homeFile = f.getAbsoluteFile();
}
}
catalinaHomeFile = homeFile;
System.setProperty(
Globals.CATALINA_HOME_PROP, catalinaHomeFile.getPath());
// Then base
String base = System.getProperty(Globals.CATALINA_BASE_PROP);
if (base == null) {
catalinaBaseFile = catalinaHomeFile;
} else {
File baseFile = new File(base);
try {
baseFile = baseFile.getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
baseFile = baseFile.getAbsoluteFile();
}
catalinaBaseFile = baseFile;
}
System.setProperty(
Globals.CATALINA_BASE_PROP, catalinaBaseFile.getPath());
}
- catalinaHomeFile变量保存Tomcat的安装目录,若系统属性catalina.home存在则使用该属性的值,否则若当前工作目录中存在bootstrap.jar文件则使用当前工作目录的父目录,否则使用当前工作目录;
- catalinaBaseFile变量保存Tomcat的工作目录,若系统属性catalina.base存在则使用该属性的值,否则与catalinaHomeFile相同;
- 最终,系统属性catalina.home和catalina.base都会被重新赋值。
main方法
Bootstrap类的main方法代码如下:
public static void main(String args[]) {
if (daemon == null) {
// Don't set daemon until init() has completed
Bootstrap bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
try {
bootstrap.init();
} catch (Throwable t) {
handleThrowable(t);
t.printStackTrace();
return;
}
daemon = bootstrap;
} else {
// When running as a service the call to stop will be on a new
// thread so make sure the correct class loader is used to prevent
// a range of class not found exceptions.
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(daemon.catalinaLoader);
}
try {
String command = "start";
if (args.length > 0) {
command = args[args.length - 1];
}
if (command.equals("startd")) {
args[args.length - 1] = "start";
daemon.load(args);
daemon.start();
} else if (command.equals("stopd")) {
args[args.length - 1] = "stop";
daemon.stop();
} else if (command.equals("start")) {
daemon.setAwait(true);
daemon.load(args);
daemon.start();
} else if (command.equals("stop")) {
daemon.stopServer(args);
} else if (command.equals("configtest")) {
daemon.load(args);
if (null==daemon.getServer()) {
System.exit(1);
}
System.exit(0);
} else {
log.warn("Bootstrap: command \"" + command + "\" does not exist.");
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
// Unwrap the Exception for clearer error reporting
if (t instanceof InvocationTargetException &&
t.getCause() != null) {
t = t.getCause();
}
handleThrowable(t);
t.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
}
- 从脚本启动时,因为最后一个命令行参数是start,所以main方法会先执行init方法,然后执行load方法,最后是start方法;
- 其他命令行参数同理。
init方法
Bootstrap类的init方法代码如下:
public void init() throws Exception {
initClassLoaders();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(catalinaLoader);
SecurityClassLoad.securityClassLoad(catalinaLoader);
// Load our startup class and call its process() method
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Loading startup class");
Class> startupClass = catalinaLoader.loadClass("org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina");
Object startupInstance = startupClass.getConstructor().newInstance();
// Set the shared extensions class loader
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Setting startup class properties");
String methodName = "setParentClassLoader";
Class> paramTypes[] = new Class[1];
paramTypes[0] = Class.forName("java.lang.ClassLoader");
Object paramValues[] = new Object[1];
paramValues[0] = sharedLoader;
Method method = startupInstance.getClass().getMethod(methodName, paramTypes);
method.invoke(startupInstance, paramValues);
catalinaDaemon = startupInstance;
}
init方法主要做了以下事情:
- 调用initClassLoaders方法初始化类加载器;
- 将catalinaLoader设置为自己的线程上下文类加载器;
- 利用catalinaLoader加载Catalina类并实例化对象。
初始化类加载器
在初始化类加载器过程中涉及到Catalina配置文件的加载和解析,过程如下:
- 若JVM参数指定了catalina.config则从该属性值表示的路径加载配置文件,若文件存在则转到4,否则转到2;
- 尝试加载${catalina.home}/conf/catalina.properties文件,若文件存在则转到4,否则转到3;
- 尝试加载${catalina.home}/bin/bootstrap.jar中的org/apache/catalina/startup/catalina.properties文件;
- 将配置文件中的属性和值复制到系统属性中。
默认的${catalina.home}/conf/catalina.properties配置文件部分内容如下,bootstrap.jar中的配置文件与其相似:
package.access=sun.,org.apache.catalina.,org.apache.coyote.,org.apache.jasper.,org.apache.tomcat.
package.definition=sun.,java.,org.apache.catalina.,org.apache.coyote.,\
org.apache.jasper.,org.apache.naming.,org.apache.tomcat.
common.loader="${catalina.base}/lib","${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar","${catalina.home}/lib","${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar"
server.loader=
shared.loader=
// 省略一些代码
initClassLoaders方法会创建三个类加载器:
- commonLoader:父加载器是系统类加载器(ClassLoader类getSystemClassLoader方法的返回值),配置文件中以common.loader为键的属性值表示的路径会被添加到commonLoader的查找路径中;
- catalinaLoader:父加载器是commonLoader,配置文件中以server.loader为键的属性值表示的路径会被添加到catalinaLoader的查找路径中;
- sharedLoader:父加载器是commonLoader,配置文件中以shared.loader为键的属性值表示的路径会被添加到sharedLoader的查找路径中;
- 若使用上述默认的配置文件,则${catalina.base}/lib目录下未打包的类和资源、${catalina.base}/lib目录下的jar、${catalina.home}/lib目录下未打包的类和资源以及${catalina.home}/lib目录下的jar都会被添加到commonLoader的搜索路径中。
有关Tomcat的类加载器的更多信息可以参考Class Loader HOW-TO。
反射实例化Catalina类
在标准启动(即从脚本启动)时,启动脚本为java命令传递了如下的参数:
-classpath /Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/bin/bootstrap.jar:/Users/suntao/Documents/Workspace/apache-tomcat-8.5.33/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
可见应用类加载器只会从bootstrap.jar和tomcat-juli.jar中加载类。由于Bootstrap类存在于${catalina.home}/bin/bootstrap.jar,而Catalina类在只存在在于${catalina.home}/lib/catalina.jar,因此应用类加载器无法加载Catalina类,只能由创建的类加载器加载。
load方法
Bootstrap类的load方法代码如下,利用反射在init方法生成的Catalina类实例上调用load方法,参数即为Bootstrap的命令行参数。
private void load(String[] arguments) throws Exception {
// Call the load() method
String methodName = "load";
Object param[];
Class> paramTypes[];
if (arguments==null || arguments.length==0) {
paramTypes = null;
param = null;
} else {
paramTypes = new Class[1];
paramTypes[0] = arguments.getClass();
param = new Object[1];
param[0] = arguments;
}
Method method =
catalinaDaemon.getClass().getMethod(methodName, paramTypes);
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Calling startup class " + method);
method.invoke(catalinaDaemon, param);
}
start方法
Bootstrap类的start方法代码如下,利用反射在init方法生成的Catalina类实例上调用Catalina类实例的start方法。
public void start()
throws Exception {
if( catalinaDaemon==null ) init();
Method method = catalinaDaemon.getClass().getMethod("start", (Class [] )null);
method.invoke(catalinaDaemon, (Object [])null);
}
