A * .do request execution

Here still are not familiar with many of the underlying code, so probably only explain a * .do  execution request.

The first is the method of performing a requested service method, but we found  DispatcherServlet not a class method; the method is  DispatcherServlet class inherits from  FrameworkServlet class; code as follows:

@Override
protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
		throws ServletException, IOException {

	HttpMethod httpMethod = HttpMethod.resolve(request.getMethod());
	if (HttpMethod.PATCH == httpMethod || httpMethod == null) {
		processRequest(request, response);
	}
	else {
		super.service(request, response);
	}
}

After the execution of its parent class service codes determine the type of request; here we get a request, for example (ie, the request is forwarded to a new interface); because it is a get request, it will run doGet method (method behind many are DispatcherServlet  class inherits other the method of the class, in order not to blog here indicated only cumbersome methods and classes from which the code will not be repeated DispatcherServlet  class inherits the method); FrameworkServlet  the doGet method code is as follows:

@Override
protected final void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
		throws ServletException, IOException {

	processRequest(request, response);
}

Is then performed to processRequest  ; the method is  FrameworkServlet  methods in the class, code is as follows:

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);
	}
}

Then try-catch-finally performed in doService method is  DispatcherServlet  class implements  FrameworkServlet  for class abstract method, as follows:

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) + "]");
	}

	// Keep a snapshot of the request attributes in case of an include,
	// to be able to restore the original attributes after the include.
	Map<String, Object> attributesSnapshot = null;
	if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
		attributesSnapshot = new HashMap<String, Object>();
		Enumeration<?> attrNames = request.getAttributeNames();
		while (attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {
			String attrName = (String) attrNames.nextElement();
			if (this.cleanupAfterInclude || attrName.startsWith(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PREFIX)) {
				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) {
				restoreAttributesAfterInclude(request, attributesSnapshot);
			}
		}
	}
}

The method described above is related to the request object information stored call information to facilitate later; doDispatch then execute the method of try-finally; This method is also  DispatcherServlet  methods in the class, code is as follows:

protected void doDispatch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	HttpServletRequest processedRequest = request;
	HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler = null;
	boolean multipartRequestParsed = false;

	WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);

	try {
		ModelAndView mv = null;
		Exception dispatchException = null;

		try {
			processedRequest = checkMultipart(request);
			multipartRequestParsed = (processedRequest != request);

			// Determine handler for the current request.
			mappedHandler = getHandler(processedRequest);
			if (mappedHandler == null || mappedHandler.getHandler() == null) {
				noHandlerFound(processedRequest, response);
				return;
			}

			// Determine handler adapter for the current request.
			HandlerAdapter ha = getHandlerAdapter(mappedHandler.getHandler());

			// Process last-modified header, if supported by the handler.
			String method = request.getMethod();
			boolean isGet = "GET".equals(method);
			if (isGet || "HEAD".equals(method)) {
				long lastModified = ha.getLastModified(request, mappedHandler.getHandler());
				if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
					logger.debug("Last-Modified value for [" + getRequestUri(request) + "] is: " + lastModified);
				}
				if (new ServletWebRequest(request, response).checkNotModified(lastModified) && isGet) {
					return;
				}
			}

			if (!mappedHandler.applyPreHandle(processedRequest, response)) {
				return;
			}

			// Actually invoke the handler.
			mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());

			if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
				return;
			}

			applyDefaultViewName(processedRequest, mv);
			mappedHandler.applyPostHandle(processedRequest, response, mv);
		}
		catch (Exception ex) {
			dispatchException = ex;
		}
		catch (Throwable err) {
			// As of 4.3, we're processing Errors thrown from handler methods as well,
			// making them available for @ExceptionHandler methods and other scenarios.
			dispatchException = new NestedServletException("Handler dispatch failed", err);
		}
		processDispatchResult(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, mv, dispatchException);
	}
	catch (Exception ex) {
		triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, ex);
	}
	catch (Throwable err) {
		triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler,
				new NestedServletException("Handler processing failed", err));
	}
	finally {
		if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
			// Instead of postHandle and afterCompletion
			if (mappedHandler != null) {
				mappedHandler.applyAfterConcurrentHandlingStarted(processedRequest, response);
			}
		}
		else {
			// Clean up any resources used by a multipart request.
			if (multipartRequestParsed) {
				cleanupMultipart(processedRequest);
			}
		}
	}
}

mv = ha.handle (processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler ()); is to obtain Handler requesting processor; then perform a  processDispatchResult ; the method also  DispatcherServlet methods in the class, code is as follows:

private void processDispatchResult(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
		HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler, ModelAndView mv, Exception exception) throws Exception {

	boolean errorView = false;

	if (exception != null) {
		if (exception instanceof ModelAndViewDefiningException) {
			logger.debug("ModelAndViewDefiningException encountered", exception);
			mv = ((ModelAndViewDefiningException) exception).getModelAndView();
		}
		else {
			Object handler = (mappedHandler != null ? mappedHandler.getHandler() : null);
			mv = processHandlerException(request, response, handler, exception);
			errorView = (mv != null);
		}
	}

	// Did the handler return a view to render?
	if (mv != null && !mv.wasCleared()) {
		render(mv, request, response);
		if (errorView) {
			WebUtils.clearErrorRequestAttributes(request);
		}
	}
	else {
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			logger.debug("Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() +
					"': assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling");
		}
	}

	if (WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
		// Concurrent handling started during a forward
		return;
	}

	if (mappedHandler != null) {
		mappedHandler.triggerAfterCompletion(request, response, null);
	}
}

Then execute  render ; the method also  DispatcherServlet methods in the class, code is as follows:

protected void render(ModelAndView mv, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	// Determine locale for request and apply it to the response.
	Locale locale = this.localeResolver.resolveLocale(request);
	response.setLocale(locale);

	View view;
	if (mv.isReference()) {
		// We need to resolve the view name.
		view = resolveViewName(mv.getViewName(), mv.getModelInternal(), locale, request);
		if (view == null) {
			throw new ServletException("Could not resolve view with name '" + mv.getViewName() +
					"' in servlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'");
		}
	}
	else {
		// No need to lookup: the ModelAndView object contains the actual View object.
		view = mv.getView();
		if (view == null) {
			throw new ServletException("ModelAndView [" + mv + "] neither contains a view name nor a " +
					"View object in servlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'");
		}
	}

	// Delegate to the View object for rendering.
	if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
		logger.debug("Rendering view [" + view + "] in DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'");
	}
	try {
		if (mv.getStatus() != null) {
			response.setStatus(mv.getStatus().value());
		}
		view.render(mv.getModelInternal(), request, response);
	}
	catch (Exception ex) {
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			logger.debug("Error rendering view [" + view + "] in DispatcherServlet with name '" +
					getServletName() + "'", ex);
		}
		throw ex;
	}
}

This method is to find a corresponding view class methods; find the corresponding view executed after class  view.render (mv.getModelInternal (), request, response); codes; because here view classes are implemented abstractView abstract class; thus performs  abstractView abstract class render method, as follows:

@Override
public void render(Map<String, ?> model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
	if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
		logger.trace("Rendering view with name '" + this.beanName + "' with model " + model +
			" and static attributes " + this.staticAttributes);
	}

	Map<String, Object> mergedModel = createMergedOutputModel(model, request, response);
	prepareResponse(request, response);
	renderMergedOutputModel(mergedModel, getRequestToExpose(request), response);
}

Then performs  renderMergedOutputModel method is  InternalResourceView class methods, as follows:

@Override
	protected void renderMergedOutputModel(
			Map<String, Object> model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

		// Expose the model object as request attributes.
		exposeModelAsRequestAttributes(model, request);

		// Expose helpers as request attributes, if any.
		exposeHelpers(request);

		// Determine the path for the request dispatcher.
		String dispatcherPath = prepareForRendering(request, response);

		// Obtain a RequestDispatcher for the target resource (typically a JSP).
		RequestDispatcher rd = getRequestDispatcher(request, dispatcherPath);
		if (rd == null) {
			throw new ServletException("Could not get RequestDispatcher for [" + getUrl() +
					"]: Check that the corresponding file exists within your web application archive!");
		}

		// If already included or response already committed, perform include, else forward.
		if (useInclude(request, response)) {
			response.setContentType(getContentType());
			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
				logger.debug("Including resource [" + getUrl() + "] in InternalResourceView '" + getBeanName() + "'");
			}
			rd.include(request, response);
		}

		else {
			// Note: The forwarded resource is supposed to determine the content type itself.
			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
				logger.debug("Forwarding to resource [" + getUrl() + "] in InternalResourceView '" + getBeanName() + "'");
			}
			rd.forward(request, response);
		}
	}

Implementation of the RequestDispatcher rd = getRequestDispatcher (request, dispatcherPath);, it had already acquired the full path to the request forwarded; and finally rd.forward (request, response); forwards the request to complete the task.
