java web容器启动的过程

1、对于一个web 应用,其部署在web 容器中,web 容器提供其一个全局的上下文环境,这个上下文就是 ServletContext ,其后面的spring IoC 容器提供宿主环境

通过这行代码就可以看出: servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);

在web.xml 中会提供有 contextLoaderListener。在web 容器启动时,会触发容器初始化事件,此时 contextLoaderListener 会监听到这个事件,其 contextInitialized 方法会被调用,在这个方法中,spring 会初始化一个启动上下文,这个上下文就被称为根上下文,即 WebApplicationContext ,这是一个借口类,确切的说,其实际实现类是 XmlWebApplicaitonContext 。这个就是Spring 的Ioc 容器,其对应的Bean 定义的配置由web.xml 中的 context-param 标签指定。在这个Ioc 容器初始化完毕后,spring 以WebApplicationContext.ROOTWEBAPPLICATIONEXTATTRIBUTE 为属性key,将其存储到 servletContext 中,便于获取.

在web.xml中这个就是web容器的入口:

<listener>

<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>

</listener>

ContextLoaderListener继承了ContextLoader,实现了ServletContextListener接口。我们看看ContextLoader源码:

/**

* Name of servlet context parameter (i.e., {@value}) that can specify the

* config location for the root context, falling back to the implementation's

* default otherwise.

* @see org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext#DEFAULT_CONFIG_LOCATION

*/

public static final String CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM = "contextConfigLocation"; 这个可以把响应的配置文件加载到web容器中,这个配置十分重要,可以定义

相应配置的位置。如下配置:

<!--加载spring上下文对象 -->

<context-param>

<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

<param-value>classpath:conf/cpic/root-context.xml</param-value>

</context-param>

/**

* Config param for the root WebApplicationContext implementation class to use: {@value}

* @see #determineContextClass(ServletContext)

* @see #createWebApplicationContext(ServletContext, ApplicationContext)

*/

public static final String CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM = "contextClass"; //这个配置决定web容器的实现类,默认为XmlWebApplicationContext

public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext) ;//这个方法是重点,整个web容器的初始化,会在ContextLoaderListener中调用,分析ContextLoderListener这个类源码的时候时候回调用。

我们来看看 ServletContextListener这个接口源码:

public interface ServletContextListener extends EventListener {

/**

** Notification that the web application initialization

** process is starting.

** All ServletContextListeners are notified of context

** initialization before any filter or servlet in the web

** application is initialized.

*/

public void contextInitialized ( ServletContextEvent sce ); //当容器的启动的时候自动加载这个方法

/**

** Notification that the servlet context is about to be shut down.

** All servlets and filters have been destroy()ed before any

** ServletContextListeners are notified of context

** destruction.

*/

public void contextDestroyed ( ServletContextEvent sce );//当容器destoryed时候调用该方法

}

我们来看看ContextLoadListener 源码:

/**

* Initialize the root web application context.

实现了容器ServletContextListener的接口contextInitialized方法,初始化web容器

*/

@Override

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {

initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());

}

/**

* Initialize Spring's web application context for the given servlet context,

* using the application context provided at construction time, or creating a new one

* according to the "{@link #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM contextClass}" and

* "{@link #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM contextConfigLocation}" context-params.

* @param servletContext current servlet context

* @return the new WebApplicationContext

* @see #ContextLoader(WebApplicationContext)

* @see #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM

* @see #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM

*/

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!");

} //容器启动的时候发现已经存在web容器会出错

Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ContextLoader.class);

servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext");

if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {

logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started");

}

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

try {

// Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that

// it is available on ServletContext shutdown.

if (this.context == null) {

this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext); //创建一个web容器

}

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); //在servletContext上下文中获取父容器

cwac.setParent(parent);//设置父级容器

}

configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac, servletContext);

}

}

//serletContext 中设置web容器,serletContext提供了宿主环境

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);

}

if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

logger.debug("Published root WebApplicationContext as ServletContext attribute with name [" +

WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE + "]");

}

if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {

long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;

logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in " + elapsedTime + " ms");

}

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;

}

}
