Spring 和 Struts在web.xml中增加的配置:
1: <!-- spring的配置 -->
2: <context-param>
3: <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
4: <param-value>classpath:/SpringContext/applicationContext-web.xml</param-value>
5: </context-param>
7:
8: <listener>
9: <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
10: </listener-class>
11: </listener>
12:
13: <filter>
14: <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
15: <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
17: <init-param>
18: <param-name>config</param-name>
19: <param-value>struts-default.xml,struts-plugin.xml,struts/struts.xml</param-value>
20: </init-param>
21: </filter>
22:
23: <filter-mapping>
24: <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
25: <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
26: </filter-mapping>
第一个tag定义的是spring的配置文件地址到环境参数(context parameter)
第二个tag定义一个listener为org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener,这里相当于j2ee容器给我们提供的main函数的切入点,可以让我们做一些系统初始化的工作,需要实现的类是:javax.servlet.ServletContextListener
第三个tag则定义了struts2的一个filter。Filter则是对每次请求(可以通过filter-mapping指定)做过滤处理,请求首先请过filter链的处理,然后再到HttpServlet的init方法。对应的类是:javax.servlet.Filter。上面先配置了一个filter,对应的类是org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher,参数则是struts的配置文件位置
第四个参数定义了filter怎样行为,显然它对.do为后缀的请求应用struts2这个名称的filter
查看ContextLoaderListener可知,它正好继承了javax.servlet.ServletContextListener,用于监听javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent事件

public class ContextLoaderListener implements ServletContextListener {
private ContextLoader contextLoader;
/**
* Initialize the root web application context.
*/
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
this.contextLoader = createContextLoader();
this.contextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
}
/**

*/
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
if (this.contextLoader != null) {
this.contextLoader.closeWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
}
}
}
此类implement了ServletContextListener的两个方法:
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event);
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event);
分别做context的初始化和销毁
另外提供了一个protected方法:protected ContextLoader createContextLoader() 用于创建真正做事情的代理类CotextLoader
和一个public方法:public ContextLoader getContextLoader();
可见,这个Listener类直接将工作代理给了ContextLoader类了
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
我们按图索骥,下面再分析org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader
ContextLoader里面有个私有成员:private WebApplicationContext context
此变量提供了create方法:
createWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext, ApplicationContext parent)
因为Spring提供了多种WebApplicationContext类,所以需要一个方法来决定使用哪个WebApplicationContextContext类
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);
}
}
}
public static final String CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM = "contextClass";
所以如果在web.xml中的<context-param> </context-param>中定义了参数contextClass,那么直接就决定了用此Context类
否则,就应用缺省策略来决定使用哪个Context类。
缺省策略如下:
private static final Properties defaultStrategies;
static {
// Load default strategy implementations from properties file.
// This is currently strictly internal and not meant to be customized
// by application developers.
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());
}
}
实际上,缺省策略从org\springframework\web\context\ContextLoader.properties 文件中取得属性org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext
我们看看ContextLoader.properties文件的内容:
# Default WebApplicationContext implementation class for ContextLoader.
# Used as fallback when no explicit context implementation has been specified as context-param.
# Not meant to be customized by application developers.
org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext=org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext
显然,缺省的Context类就是 XmlWebApplicationContext类
!!!真累啊,Spring...
OK,总算知道用哪个Context类了,那么现在到了create这个Context实例的时候了
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;
}
这里很容易理解,只不过它的创建不是直接new,而是封装了一层,调用BeanUtils.instantiateClass()工具方法
接下来设定WebApplicationCcontext实例的parent, servletContext,
其中配置文件位置(web.xml中)的contextConfigLocation参数指定的
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/SpringContext/applicationContext-web.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
倒数第二行调用的customizeContext()方法目前Spring实现代码是空的,估计留作以后(看来万事要留余地啊^_^)
最后一件事就是调用WebApplicationContext的refresh()方法。(这个方法是个stratup方法,很重要。他干的事情后面会着重涉及)
最后就是真正做事的initWebApplicationContext()方法:
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!");
}
servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext");
if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started");
}
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
try {
// Determine parent for root web application context, if any.
ApplicationContext parent = loadParentContext(servletContext);
// Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that
// it is available on ServletContext shutdown.
this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext, parent);
servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);
currentContextPerThread.put(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(), 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;
}
}
它其实做得事情很简单,调用loadParentContext()方法获取父context,调用createWebApplicationContext()创建WebApplicationContext实例
一切都似乎完成了,至少我们明白了配置文件是如何加载进去的,至于IoC容器如何帮你注入配置文件中的bean,下次再探索。线索是什么呢?你还记得在createWebApplication()的最后一步做什么了吗?refresh(), 对了,这个就是你作为职业"嘿客"要探索的下一个线索
