解讀:

BeanDefinition相當於一個數據結構,Spring容器對bean的管理是通過BeanDefinition來實現的。

方法

BeanDefinition中的方法如下圖所示:

從上述類圖可以得知BeanDefinition有哪些實現類。

呼叫鏈路

本部分準備探究一下Spring中解析bean的呼叫鏈路,涉及到幾個層次,譬如:ApplicationContext -> BeanDefinitionReader -> BeanDefinitionDocumentReader。

可以帶著問題閱讀:

  • 這幾個層次之間是怎麼關聯起來的?
  • 最終是如何解析bean的?

ApplicationContext

AbstractApplicationContext

    @Override
public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {
synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {
StartupStep contextRefresh = this.applicationStartup.start("spring.context.refresh"); // 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); StartupStep beanPostProcess = this.applicationStartup.start("spring.context.beans.post-process");
// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory); // Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);
beanPostProcess.end(); // 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();
contextRefresh.end();
}
}
}

解讀:

上述AbstractApplicationContext中的refresh方法呼叫的obtainFreshBeanFactory方法是整個呼叫鏈路的入口。

    /**
* Tell the subclass to refresh the internal bean factory.
* @return the fresh BeanFactory instance
* @see #refreshBeanFactory()
* @see #getBeanFactory()
*/
protected ConfigurableListableBeanFactory obtainFreshBeanFactory() {
refreshBeanFactory();
return getBeanFactory();
}
    /**
* Subclasses must implement this method to perform the actual configuration load.
* The method is invoked by {@link #refresh()} before any other initialization work.
* <p>A subclass will either create a new bean factory and hold a reference to it,
* or return a single BeanFactory instance that it holds. In the latter case, it will
* usually throw an IllegalStateException if refreshing the context more than once.
* @throws BeansException if initialization of the bean factory failed
* @throws IllegalStateException if already initialized and multiple refresh
* attempts are not supported
*/
protected abstract void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException;

解讀:

此處refreshBeanFactory方法是抽象方法,由子類實現。

AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext

    /**
* This implementation performs an actual refresh of this context's underlying
* bean factory, shutting down the previous bean factory (if any) and
* initializing a fresh bean factory for the next phase of the context's lifecycle.
*/
@Override
protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {
if (hasBeanFactory()) {
destroyBeans();
closeBeanFactory();
}
try {
DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();
beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());
customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);
loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);
this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
}
catch (IOException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException("I/O error parsing bean definition source for " + getDisplayName(), ex);
}
}
    /**

* delegating to one or more bean definition readers.

* @see org.springframework.beans.factory.support.PropertiesBeanDefinitionReader
* @see org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader
*/
protected abstract void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory)
throws BeansException, IOException;

解讀:

此處loadBeanDefinitions方法是抽象方法,由子類實現。

AbstractXmlApplicationContext

    /**
* Loads the bean definitions via an XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
* @see org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader
* @see #initBeanDefinitionReader
* @see #loadBeanDefinitions
*/
@Override
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException, IOException {
// Create a new XmlBeanDefinitionReader for the given BeanFactory.
XmlBeanDefinitionReader beanDefinitionReader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanFactory); // Configure the bean definition reader with this context's
// resource loading environment.
beanDefinitionReader.setEnvironment(this.getEnvironment());
beanDefinitionReader.setResourceLoader(this);
beanDefinitionReader.setEntityResolver(new ResourceEntityResolver(this)); // Allow a subclass to provide custom initialization of the reader,
// then proceed with actually loading the bean definitions.
initBeanDefinitionReader(beanDefinitionReader);
loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader);
}
    /**
* Load the bean definitions with the given XmlBeanDefinitionReader.
* <p>The lifecycle of the bean factory is handled by the {@link #refreshBeanFactory}
* method; hence this method is just supposed to load and/or register bean definitions.
* @param reader the XmlBeanDefinitionReader to use
* @throws BeansException in case of bean registration errors
* @throws IOException if the required XML document isn't found
* @see #refreshBeanFactory
* @see #getConfigLocations
* @see #getResources

*/
protected void loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader reader) throws BeansException, IOException {
Resource[] configResources = getConfigResources();
if (configResources != null) {
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configResources);
}
String[] configLocations = getConfigLocations();
if (configLocations != null) {
reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configLocations);
}
}

解讀:

上述loadBeanDefinitions方法最終是呼叫了AbstractBeanDefinitionReader中的loadBeanDefinitions方法,引數是陣列型別。

問題:此處loadBeanDefinitions方法的返回值為空,而reader是new出來的變數,reader做什麼事情看似跟ApplicationContext沒啥關係啊。

實則不然,構造reader時傳遞了beanFactory,在最終解析bean時用到了該引數,所以說beanfactory承擔了關聯解析bean的幾個層次的作用。

BeanDefinitionReader

解讀:

分析後續流程時可以參照類圖繼承層次。

AbstractBeanDefinitionReader

Assert.notNull(resources, "Resource array must not be null");
int count = 0;
for (Resource resource : resources) {
count += loadBeanDefinitions(resource);
}
return count;
}

解讀:

此處算是真正開始進入瞭解析bean的流程,使用了for迴圈。

BeanDefinitionReader

return getRegistry().getBeanDefinitionCount() - countBefore;
}
    @Override
public final BeanDefinitionRegistry getRegistry() {
return this.registry;

解讀:

此處的registry是什麼?

本文前面構造reader變數的程式碼語句的含義請參見如下程式碼:

    /**
* Create new XmlBeanDefinitionReader for the given bean factory.
* @param registry the BeanFactory to load bean definitions into,
* in the form of a BeanDefinitionRegistry
*/
public XmlBeanDefinitionReader(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
super(registry);
}

AbstractBeanDefinitionReader

    /**
* Create a new AbstractBeanDefinitionReader for the given bean factory.
* <p>If the passed-in bean factory does not only implement the BeanDefinitionRegistry
* interface but also the ResourceLoader interface, it will be used as default
* ResourceLoader as well. This will usually be the case for
* {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} implementations.
* <p>If given a plain BeanDefinitionRegistry, the default ResourceLoader will be a
* {@link org.springframework.core.io.support.PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver}.
* <p>If the passed-in bean factory also implements {@link EnvironmentCapable} its
* environment will be used by this reader. Otherwise, the reader will initialize and
* use a {@link StandardEnvironment}. All ApplicationContext implementations are
* EnvironmentCapable, while normal BeanFactory implementations are not.
* @param registry the BeanFactory to load bean definitions into,
* in the form of a BeanDefinitionRegistry
* @see #setResourceLoader
* @see #setEnvironment
*/
protected AbstractBeanDefinitionReader(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
Assert.notNull(registry, "BeanDefinitionRegistry must not be null");
this.registry = registry; // Determine ResourceLoader to use.
if (this.registry instanceof ResourceLoader) {
this.resourceLoader = (ResourceLoader) this.registry;
}
else {
this.resourceLoader = new PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver();
} // Inherit Environment if possible
if (this.registry instanceof EnvironmentCapable) {
this.environment = ((EnvironmentCapable) this.registry).getEnvironment();
}
else {
this.environment = new StandardEnvironment();
}
}

解讀:

至此可知在構造XmlBeanDefinitionReader型別的變數時,實質是將beanFactory賦值給AbstractBeanDefinitionReader中的registry變數。

BeanDefinitionDocumentReader

縱觀前述程式碼呼叫流程可知此流程的核心是前述標記為粉色的程式碼

    /**
* Create the {@link BeanDefinitionDocumentReader} to use for actually
* reading bean definitions from an XML document.
* <p>The default implementation instantiates the specified "documentReaderClass".
* @see #setDocumentReaderClass
*/
protected BeanDefinitionDocumentReader createBeanDefinitionDocumentReader() {
return BeanUtils.instantiateClass(this.documentReaderClass);
}

解讀:

上述方法中documentReaderClass的定義如下

    private Class<? extends BeanDefinitionDocumentReader> documentReaderClass =
DefaultBeanDefinitionDocumentReader.class;

registerBeanDefinitions方法

上述方法最終是呼叫了registerBeanDefinitions方法,對應程式碼如下

    /**
* This implementation parses bean definitions according to the "spring-beans" XSD
* (or DTD, historically).
* <p>Opens a DOM Document; then initializes the default settings
* specified at the {@code <beans/>} level; then parses the contained bean definitions.
*/
@Override
public void registerBeanDefinitions(Document doc, XmlReaderContext readerContext) {
this.readerContext = readerContext;
doRegisterBeanDefinitions(doc.getDocumentElement());
}

解讀:

BeanDefinitionReader與BeanDefinitionDocumentReader之間的關聯是通過readerContext維護的。

後續流程是真正的解析bean配置檔案的過程,程式碼如下:

    /**
* Register each bean definition within the given root {@code <beans/>} element.
*/
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation") // for Environment.acceptsProfiles(String...)
protected void doRegisterBeanDefinitions(Element root) {
// Any nested <beans> elements will cause recursion in this method. In
// order to propagate and preserve <beans> default-* attributes correctly,
// keep track of the current (parent) delegate, which may be null. Create
// the new (child) delegate with a reference to the parent for fallback purposes,
// then ultimately reset this.delegate back to its original (parent) reference.
// this behavior emulates a stack of delegates without actually necessitating one.
BeanDefinitionParserDelegate parent = this.delegate;
this.delegate = createDelegate(getReaderContext(), root, parent); if (this.delegate.isDefaultNamespace(root)) {
String profileSpec = root.getAttribute(PROFILE_ATTRIBUTE);
if (StringUtils.hasText(profileSpec)) {
String[] specifiedProfiles = StringUtils.tokenizeToStringArray(
profileSpec, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.MULTI_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE_DELIMITERS);
// We cannot use Profiles.of(...) since profile expressions are not supported
// in XML config. See SPR-12458 for details.
if (!getReaderContext().getEnvironment().acceptsProfiles(specifiedProfiles)) {
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Skipped XML bean definition file due to specified profiles [" + profileSpec +
"] not matching: " + getReaderContext().getResource());
}
return;
}
}
} preProcessXml(root);
parseBeanDefinitions(root, this.delegate);
postProcessXml(root); this.delegate = parent;
}
    /**
* Parse the elements at the root level in the document:
* "import", "alias", "bean".
* @param root the DOM root element of the document
*/
protected void parseBeanDefinitions(Element root, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate delegate) {
if (delegate.isDefaultNamespace(root)) {
NodeList nl = root.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
Node node = nl.item(i);
if (node instanceof Element) {
Element ele = (Element) node;
if (delegate.isDefaultNamespace(ele)) {
parseDefaultElement(ele, delegate);
}
else {
delegate.parseCustomElement(ele);
}
}
}
}
else {
delegate.parseCustomElement(root);
}
}

解讀:

檢視此方法的註釋部分即可明確方法的目的。

    private void parseDefaultElement(Element ele, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate delegate) {
if (delegate.nodeNameEquals(ele, IMPORT_ELEMENT)) {
importBeanDefinitionResource(ele);
}
else if (delegate.nodeNameEquals(ele, ALIAS_ELEMENT)) {
processAliasRegistration(ele);
}
else if (delegate.nodeNameEquals(ele, BEAN_ELEMENT)) {
processBeanDefinition(ele, delegate);
}
else if (delegate.nodeNameEquals(ele, NESTED_BEANS_ELEMENT)) {
// recurse
doRegisterBeanDefinitions(ele);
}
}

解讀:

觀察上述程式碼的一個分支,程式碼如下:

    /**
* Process the given bean element, parsing the bean definition
* and registering it with the registry.
*/
protected void processBeanDefinition(Element ele, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate delegate) {
BeanDefinitionHolder bdHolder = delegate.parseBeanDefinitionElement(ele);
if (bdHolder != null) {
bdHolder = delegate.decorateBeanDefinitionIfRequired(ele, bdHolder);
try {
// Register the final decorated instance.
BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.registerBeanDefinition(bdHolder, getReaderContext().getRegistry());
}
catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) {
getReaderContext().error("Failed to register bean definition with name '" +
bdHolder.getBeanName() + "'", ele, ex);
}
// Send registration event.
getReaderContext().fireComponentRegistered(new BeanComponentDefinition(bdHolder));
}
}

解讀:

注意上述程式碼中著色(藍色)部分程式碼,此處拿到了最前面傳遞的beanFactory。

BeanDefinitionReaderUtils

    /**
* Register the given bean definition with the given bean factory.
* @param definitionHolder the bean definition including name and aliases
* @param registry the bean factory to register with
* @throws BeanDefinitionStoreException if registration failed
*/
public static void registerBeanDefinition(
BeanDefinitionHolder definitionHolder, BeanDefinitionRegistry registry)
throws BeanDefinitionStoreException { // Register bean definition under primary name.
String beanName = definitionHolder.getBeanName();
registry.registerBeanDefinition(beanName, definitionHolder.getBeanDefinition()); // Register aliases for bean name, if any.
String[] aliases = definitionHolder.getAliases();
if (aliases != null) {
for (String alias : aliases) {
registry.registerAlias(beanName, alias);
}
}
}

BeanDefinitionRegistry

    /**
* Register a new bean definition with this registry.
* Must support RootBeanDefinition and ChildBeanDefinition.
* @param beanName the name of the bean instance to register
* @param beanDefinition definition of the bean instance to register
* @throws BeanDefinitionStoreException if the BeanDefinition is invalid
* @throws BeanDefinitionOverrideException if there is already a BeanDefinition
* for the specified bean name and we are not allowed to override it
* @see GenericBeanDefinition
* @see RootBeanDefinition
* @see ChildBeanDefinition
*/
void registerBeanDefinition(String beanName, BeanDefinition beanDefinition)
throws BeanDefinitionStoreException;

解讀:

此處registerBeanDefinition方法為抽象方法,由子類(即BeanFactory的具體實現類)實現。

Note:

從上面的分析可知,最終bean的解析是由BeanDefinitionHolder實現的。

    /**
* Parses the supplied {@code <bean>} element. May return {@code null}
