DispatcherServlet 源码阅读（1）

有时间还是应该多看看源码。

DispatcherServlet 是一个实实在在的 Servlet，所以 Spring MVC 引入后不会改变 Servlet 容器的行为，仍然是解析 web.xml 部署文件，只需要在里面配置这个 Servlet 即可。
比如下面配置 dispatcher Servlet 处理所有的请求，也体现了 DispatcherServlet 是前端控制器（Front Controller）。contextConfigLocation 上下文参数用于配置路径的指定，如果没有的话就使用默认的值。

DispatcherServlet 初始化

DispatcherServlet 的父类 HttpServletBean 覆盖了 HttpServlet 的 init 方法，实现该 servlet 的初始化。

/**
     * Map config parameters onto bean properties of this servlet, and
     * invoke subclass initialization.
     * @throws ServletException if bean properties are invalid (or required
     * properties are missing), or if subclass initialization fails.
     */
    @Override
    public final void init() throws ServletException {
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            logger.debug("Initializing servlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
        }

        // Set bean properties from init parameters.
        try {
            PropertyValues pvs = new ServletConfigPropertyValues(getServletConfig(), this.requiredProperties);
            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) {
            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");
        }
    }

正如注释所说 initServletBean() 留由子类实现，体现了模板方法模式，当上述bean属性设置完成后，进入这里 FrameworkServlet#init() 创建 Servlet 的上下文 WebApplicationContext，initWebApplicationContext 首先会获得该 Web 应用的 root WebApplicationContext （通常是由 org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener 加载的），然后根据这个根上下文得到我们这个 Servlet 的 WebApplicationContext。initFrameworkServlet 方法是空的，而且子类 DispatcherServlet 也没有覆盖。

    /**
     * Overridden method of {@link HttpServletBean}, invoked after any bean properties
     * have been set. Creates this servlet's WebApplicationContext.
     */
    @Override
    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 ex) {
            this.logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
            throw ex;
        }
        catch (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) {

        if (wac == null) {

        }

        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.

            }
        }

        return wac;
    }

DispatcherServlet 处理请求流程

FrameworkServlet 中覆盖了 HttpServlet 的 doGet(),doPost()等方法，而 doGet(),doPost()等又直接调用方法 processRequest 来处理请求，代码如下。

    /**
     * Delegate GET requests to processRequest/doService.
     * <p>Will also be invoked by HttpServlet's default implementation of {@code doHead},
     * with a {@code NoBodyResponse} that just captures the content length.
     * @see #doService
     * @see #doHead
     */
    @Override
    protected final void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    /**
     * Delegate POST requests to {@link #processRequest}.
     * @see #doService
     */
    @Override
    protected final void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        processRequest(request, response);
    }

然后我们进入 processRequest 方法，实际的请求处理是调用其抽象方法 doService。

/**
     * Process this request, publishing an event regardless of the outcome.
     * <p>The actual event handling is performed by the abstract
     * {@link #doService} template method.
     */
    protected final void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {

        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Throwable failureCause = null;

        LocaleContext previousLocaleContext = LocaleContextHolder.getLocaleContext();
        LocaleContext localeContext = buildLocaleContext(request);

        RequestAttributes previousAttributes = RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes();
        ServletRequestAttributes requestAttributes = buildRequestAttributes(request, response, previousAttributes);

        WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);
        asyncManager.registerCallableInterceptor(FrameworkServlet.class.getName(), new RequestBindingInterceptor());

        initContextHolders(request, localeContext, requestAttributes);

        try {
            doService(request, response);
        }
        catch (ServletException ex) {
            failureCause = ex;
            throw ex;
        }
        catch (IOException ex) {
            failureCause = ex;
            throw ex;
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
            failureCause = ex;
            throw new NestedServletException("Request processing failed", ex);
        }

        finally {
            resetContextHolders(request, previousLocaleContext, previousAttributes);
            if (requestAttributes != null) {
                requestAttributes.requestCompleted();
            }

            if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                if (failureCause != null) {
                    this.logger.debug("Could not complete request", failureCause);
                }
                else {
                    if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
                        logger.debug("Leaving response open for concurrent processing");
                    }
                    else {
                        this.logger.debug("Successfully completed request");
                    }
                }
            }

            publishRequestHandledEvent(request, response, startTime, failureCause);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Subclasses must implement this method to do the work of request handling,
     * receiving a centralized callback for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
     * <p>The contract is essentially the same as that for the commonly overridden

     */
    protected abstract void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception;

然后在 DispatcherServlet 中具体实现请求的处理分发，先是把一些资源放到请求属性中，然后调用 doDispatch 实现请求分发到控制器的 handler。doDispatch 中首先会判断是否是文件传输流的请求（利用MultipartResolver），如果是的话就会转为 MultipartHttpServletRequest。接下来 getHandler(processedRequest) 根据请求获得对应的handler，最后调用 handle() 处理请求，会反射到在控制器中实现的方法。

/**
     * Exposes the DispatcherServlet-specific request attributes and delegates to {@link #doDispatch}
     * for the actual dispatching.
     */
    @Override
    protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            String resumed = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).hasConcurrentResult() ? " resumed" : "";
            logger.debug("DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'" + resumed +
                    " processing " + request.getMethod() + " request for [" + getRequestUri(request) + "]");
        }

        // to be able to restore the original attributes after the include.

        if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
            attributesSnapshot = new HashMap<String, Object>();

            while (attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {

                if (this.cleanupAfterInclude || attrName.startsWith("org.springframework.web.servlet")) {
                    attributesSnapshot.put(attrName, request.getAttribute(attrName));
                }
            }
        }

        // Make framework objects available to handlers and view objects.
        request.setAttribute(WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, getWebApplicationContext());
        request.setAttribute(LOCALE_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.localeResolver);
        request.setAttribute(THEME_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.themeResolver);
        request.setAttribute(THEME_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE, getThemeSource());

        FlashMap inputFlashMap = this.flashMapManager.retrieveAndUpdate(request, response);
        if (inputFlashMap != null) {
            request.setAttribute(INPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, Collections.unmodifiableMap(inputFlashMap));
        }
        request.setAttribute(OUTPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, new FlashMap());
        request.setAttribute(FLASH_MAP_MANAGER_ATTRIBUTE, this.flashMapManager);

        try {
            doDispatch(request, response);
        }
        finally {
            if (!WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
                // Restore the original attribute snapshot, in case of an include.
                if (attributesSnapshot != null) {

HandlerAdapter接口的handle方法抽象的是一个handler如何处理一个请求，该接口实现有下面几个。

AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter 基于HTTP请求的路径，方法，请求参数，使用 RequestMapping 注解来映handler，从 Spring 3.2建议使用RequestMappingHandlerAdapter。这里看看AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter是如何实现handle方法的, 使用了反射，最后通过 invokeHandlerMethod 执行了对应的handler方法。

@Override
    public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
            throws Exception {

        Class<?> clazz = ClassUtils.getUserClass(handler);
        Boolean annotatedWithSessionAttributes = this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.get(clazz);
        if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes == null) {
            annotatedWithSessionAttributes = (AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(clazz, SessionAttributes.class) != null);
            this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.put(clazz, annotatedWithSessionAttributes);
        }

        if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes) {
            checkAndPrepare(request, response, this.cacheSecondsForSessionAttributeHandlers, true);
        }
        else {
            checkAndPrepare(request, response, true);
        }

        // Execute invokeHandlerMethod in synchronized block if required.
        if (this.synchronizeOnSession) {
            HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
            if (session != null) {
                Object mutex = WebUtils.getSessionMutex(session);
                synchronized (mutex) {
                    return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
                }
            }
        }

        return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
    }

    protected ModelAndView invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
            throws Exception {

        ServletHandlerMethodResolver methodResolver = getMethodResolver(handler);
        Method handlerMethod = methodResolver.resolveHandlerMethod(request);
        ServletHandlerMethodInvoker methodInvoker = new ServletHandlerMethodInvoker(methodResolver);
        ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(request, response);
        ExtendedModelMap implicitModel = new BindingAwareModelMap();

        Object result = methodInvoker.invokeHandlerMethod(handlerMethod, handler, webRequest, implicitModel);
        ModelAndView mav =
