先看一下这里的refresh()方法
public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {
synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {
// 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);
// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);
// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);
// 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) {
// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
destroyBeans();
// Reset 'active' flag.
cancelRefresh(ex);
// Propagate exception to caller.
throw ex;
}
}
}
首先这个方法是同步的，以避免重复刷新。然后刷新的每个步骤，都放在单独的方法里，比较清晰，可以按顺序一个个看
首先是prepareRefresh()方法
protected void prepareRefresh() {
this.startupDate = System.currentTimeMillis();
synchronized (this.activeMonitor) {
this.active = true;
}
if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
logger.info("Refreshing " + this);
}
// Initialize any placeholder property sources in the context environment
initPropertySources();
// Validate that all properties marked as required are resolvable
// see ConfigurablePropertyResolver#setRequiredProperties
this.environment.validateRequiredProperties();
}
这个方法里做的事情不多，记录了开始时间，输出日志，另外initPropertySources()方法和validateRequiredProperties()方法一般都没有做什么事
然后是核心的obtainFreshBeanFactory()方法，这个方法是初始化BeanFactory，是整个refresh()方法的核心，其中完成了配置文件的加载、解析、注册，后面会专门详细说
这里要说明一下，ApplicationContext实现了BeanFactory接口，并实现了ResourceLoader、MessageSource等接口，可以认为是增强的BeanFactory。但是ApplicationContext并不自己重复实现BeanFactory定义的方法，而是委托给DefaultListableBeanFactory来实现。这种设计思路也是值得学习的
后面的prepareBeanFactory()、postProcessBeanFactory()、invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors()、registerBeanPostProcessors()、initMessageSource()、initApplicationEventMulticaster()、onRefresh()、registerListeners()、finishBeanFactoryInitialization()、finishRefresh()等方法，是添加一些后处理器、广播、拦截器等，就不一个个细说了。
其中的关键方法是finishBeanFactoryInitialization()，在这个方法中，会对刚才注册的Bean（不延迟加载的），进行实例化，所以也是一个核心方法
从整体上介绍完了流程，接下来就重点看obtainFreshBeanFactory()方法，上文说到，在这个方法里，完成了配置文件的加载、解析、注册
protected ConfigurableListableBeanFactory obtainFreshBeanFactory() {
refreshBeanFactory();
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = getBeanFactory();
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Bean factory for " + getDisplayName() + ": " + beanFactory);
}
return beanFactory;
}
这个方法做了2件事，首先通过refreshBeanFactory()方法，创建了DefaultListableBeanFactory的实例，并进行初始化。然后返回
protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {
if (hasBeanFactory()) {
destroyBeans();
closeBeanFactory();
}
try {
DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();
beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());
customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);
loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);
synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
}
}
catch (IOException ex) {
throw new ApplicationContextException("I/O error parsing bean definition source for " + getDisplayName(), ex);
}
}
首先如果已经有BeanFactory实例，就先清空。
然后通过createBeanFactory()方法，创建一个DefaultListableBeanFactory的实例
protected DefaultListableBeanFactory createBeanFactory() {
return new DefaultListableBeanFactory(getInternalParentBeanFactory());
}
接下来设置ID唯一标识
beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());
然后允许用户进行一些自定义的配置
protected void customizeBeanFactory(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
if (this.allowBeanDefinitionOverriding != null) {
beanFactory.setAllowBeanDefinitionOverriding(this.allowBeanDefinitionOverriding);
}
if (this.allowCircularReferences != null) {
beanFactory.setAllowCircularReferences(this.allowCircularReferences);
}
beanFactory.setAutowireCandidateResolver(new QualifierAnnotationAutowireCandidateResolver());
}
最后，就是核心的loadBeanDefinitions()方法
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);
}
这里首先会创建一个XmlBeanDefinitionReader的实例，然后进行初始化
// 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);
这里要说明一下，ApplicationContext并不自己负责配置文件的加载、解析、注册，而是将这些工作委托给XmlBeanDefinitionReader来做。
loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader);
这行代码，就是Bean定义读取实际发生的地方。这里的工作，主要是XmlBeanDefinitionReader来完成的，下一篇博客会详细介绍这个过程
