Get an object from an instance of a bean

In the getBean method, getObjectForBeanInstance is a frequently used method, whether it is to obtain the bean from the cache or load the bean according to different scope strategies. In short, the first step we need to do after we get the bean instance is to call this method to check the correctness. In fact, it is used to check whether the current bean is a bean of type FactoryBean. If so, we need to call the FactoryBean instance corresponding to the bean. getObject() in as the return value.

Whether it is a bean obtained from the cache or a bean loaded through a different scope strategy is just the most primitive bean state, not necessarily the bean we ultimately want. What we really need is the bean returned in the factory-method method defined in the factory bean, and the getObjectForBeanInstance method does the job.

protected Object getObjectForBeanInstance(
			Object beanInstance, String name, String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd) {

		// Don't let calling code try to dereference the factory if the bean isn't a factory.
		if (BeanFactoryUtils.isFactoryDereference(name) && !(beanInstance instanceof FactoryBean)) {
			throw new BeanIsNotAFactoryException(transformedBeanName(name), beanInstance.getClass());
		}

		// Now we have the bean instance, which may be a normal bean or a FactoryBean.
		// If it's a FactoryBean, we use it to create a bean instance, unless the
		// caller actually wants a reference to the factory.
		if (!(beanInstance instanceof FactoryBean) || BeanFactoryUtils.isFactoryDereference(name)) {
			return beanInstance;
		}

		Object object = null;
		if (mbd == null) {
			object = getCachedObjectForFactoryBean (beanName);
		}
		if (object == null) {
			// Return bean instance from factory.
			FactoryBean<?> factory = (FactoryBean<?>) beanInstance;
			// Caches object obtained from FactoryBean if it is a singleton.
			if (mbd == null && containsBeanDefinition(beanName)) {
				mbd = getMergedLocalBeanDefinition (beanName);
			}
			boolean synthetic = (mbd != null && mbd.isSynthetic());
			object = getObjectFromFactoryBean(factory, beanName, !synthetic);
		}
		return object;
	}

The work done in getObjectForBeanInstance:

(1) Verification of the correctness of FactoryBean

(2) Do nothing for non-FactoryBean

(3) Convert the bean

(4) Delegate the work of parsing beans from the Factory to getObjectFromFactoryBean

protected Object getObjectFromFactoryBean(FactoryBean<?> factory, String beanName, boolean shouldPostProcess) {
		if (factory.isSingleton() && containsSingleton(beanName)) {
			synchronized (getSingletonMutex()) {
				Object object = this.factoryBeanObjectCache.get(beanName);
				if (object == null) {
					object = doGetObjectFromFactoryBean(factory, beanName, shouldPostProcess);
					this.factoryBeanObjectCache.put(beanName, (object != null ? object : NULL_OBJECT));
				}
				return (object != NULL_OBJECT ? object : null);
			}
		}
		else {
			return doGetObjectFromFactoryBean(factory, beanName, shouldPostProcess);
		}
	}

Only one thing is done in this method, that is, if the returned bean is a singleton, it must be guaranteed to be globally unique.

private Object doGetObjectFromFactoryBean(
			final FactoryBean<?> factory, final String beanName, final boolean shouldPostProcess)
			throws BeanCreationException {

		Object object;
		try {
			if (System.getSecurityManager() != null) {
				AccessControlContext acc = getAccessControlContext();
				try {
					object = AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedExceptionAction<Object>() {
						public Object run() throws Exception {
								return factory.getObject();
							}
						}, acc);
				}
				catch (PrivilegedActionException pae) {
					throw pae.getException();
				}
			}
			else {
				object = factory.getObject();
			}
		}
		catch (FactoryBeanNotInitializedException ex) {
			throw new BeanCurrentlyInCreationException(beanName, ex.toString());
		}
		catch (Throwable ex) {
			throw new BeanCreationException(beanName, "FactoryBean threw exception on object creation", ex);
		}


		// Do not accept a null value for a FactoryBean that's not fully
		// initialized yet: Many FactoryBeans just return null then.
		if (object == null && isSingletonCurrentlyInCreation(beanName)) {
			throw new BeanCurrentlyInCreationException(
					beanName, "FactoryBean which is currently in creation returned null from getObject");
		}

		if (object != null && shouldPostProcess) {
			try {
				object = postProcessObjectFromFactoryBean(object, beanName);
			}
			catch (Throwable ex) {
				throw new BeanCreationException(beanName, "Post-processing of the FactoryBean's object failed", ex);
			}
		}

		return object;
	}

Trace the postProcessObjectFromFactoryBean method of the AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory class:

protected Object postProcessObjectFromFactoryBean(Object object, String beanName) {
		return applyBeanPostProcessorsAfterInitialization(object, beanName);
	}

public Object applyBeanPostProcessorsAfterInitialization(Object existingBean, String beanName)
			throws BeansException {

		Object result = existingBean;
		for (BeanPostProcessor beanProcessor : getBeanPostProcessors()) {
			result = beanProcessor.postProcessAfterInitialization(result, beanName);
			if (result == null) {
				return result;
			}
		}
		return result;
	}

The use of post-processors has not been touched too much. Spring has such a rule in the acquisition of beans: as far as possible, ensure that all beans will be processed by calling the postProcessAfterInitialization method of the registered BeanPostProcessor after initialization.
