最近看起spring源码，突然想知道没有web.
我用的IDE是IntelliJ IDEA，这个比myEclipse看源码方便一点，而且黑色背景挺喜欢。然后项目是在maven下的tomcat7插件运行。spring版本是4.3.2.RELEASE。
如果写过纯注解配置的spring web，应该知道需要继承一个初始化类来装载bean，然后从这个类开始就会加载我们自定义的功能和bean了，下面是我的一个WebInitializer
1 @Order(1) 2 public class WebMvcInit extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer { 3 protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() { 4 return new Class[]{RootConfig.class,WebSecurityConfig.class}; 5 } 6 7 protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() { 8 return new Class[]{WebConfig.class}; 9 }10 11 protected String[] getServletMappings() {12 return new String[]{"/"};13 }14 15 @Override16 protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {17 return new Filter[]{new HiddenHttpMethodFilter()};18 }19 20 }
首先看下AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer类的结构，这个也是IDEA的一个uml功能，在类那里右键Diagrams->show Diagrams就有啦
然后我们直接点进AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer，可以看到这个类很简单，只有四个方法，然后我们关注下createRootApplicationContext()
1 @Override 2 protected WebApplicationContext createRootApplicationContext() { 3 Class<?>[] configClasses = getRootConfigClasses(); 4 if (!ObjectUtils.isEmpty(configClasses)) { 5 AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootAppContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext(); 6 rootAppContext.register(configClasses); 7 return rootAppContext; 8 } 9 else {10 return null;11 }12 }
这个方法大概意思是获取用户（程序员）传过来的RootClasses，然后注册里面的bean，这些都不是我们关注的，不过这个方法应该是要在启动后执行的，所以我们可以从这个方法往上找
IDEA下Ctrl+G可以找调用某个方法或类，然后设置寻找范围为project and library
我们找到，AbstractContextLoaderInitializer下registerContextLoaderListener(ServletContext servletContext)方法调用子类的createRootApplicationContext()获取WebApplicationContext，继续找registerContextLoaderListener(ServletContext servletContext)方法的调用者，结果发现就是该类下的onStartup(ServletContext servletContext)，下面贴下AbstractContextLoaderInitializer类
1 public abstract class AbstractContextLoaderInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer { 2 3 /** Logger available to subclasses */ 4 protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); 5 6 7 @Override 8 public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException { 9 registerContextLoaderListener(servletContext);10 }11 12 /**13 * Register a {@link ContextLoaderListener} against the given servlet context. The14 * {@code ContextLoaderListener} is initialized with the application context returned15 * from the {@link #createRootApplicationContext()} template method.16 * @param servletContext the servlet context to register the listener against17 */18 protected void registerContextLoaderListener(ServletContext servletContext) {19 WebApplicationContext rootAppContext = createRootApplicationContext();20 if (rootAppContext != null) {21 ContextLoaderListener listener = new ContextLoaderListener(rootAppContext);22 listener.setContextInitializers(getRootApplicationContextInitializers());23 servletContext.addListener(listener);24 }25 else {26 logger.debug("No ContextLoaderListener registered, as " +27 "createRootApplicationContext() did not return an application context");28 }29 }30 31 /**32 * Create the "<strong>root</strong>" application context to be provided to the33 * {@code ContextLoaderListener}.34 * <p>The returned context is delegated to35 * {@link ContextLoaderListener#ContextLoaderListener(WebApplicationContext)} and will36 * be established as the parent context for any {@code DispatcherServlet} application37 * contexts.

注意的是这里我们跳过了AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer抽象类（看uml图），这个类主要配置DispatcherServlet，这里就是spring mvc等功能的实现了。
那谁来加载AbstractContextLoaderInitializer？WebApplicationInitializer已经是接口，不会再有一个抽象类来调用了，于是我尝试性地搜WebApplicationInitializer接口，因为spring这种大项目肯定是面向接口的，所以调用的地方一般是写接口，然后我们找到了SpringServletContainerInitializer类，它实现了ServletContainerInitializer接口，这个类大概是说把所有WebApplicationInitializer都startUp一遍，可以说这个类很接近我们的目标了。下面贴下SpringServletContainerInitializer
1 @HandlesTypes(WebApplicationInitializer.class) 2 public class SpringServletContainerInitializer implements ServletContainerInitializer { 3 @Override 4 public void onStartup(Set<Class<?>> webAppInitializerClasses, ServletContext servletContext) 5 throws ServletException { 6 7 List<WebApplicationInitializer> initializers = new LinkedList<WebApplicationInitializer>(); 8 9 if (webAppInitializerClasses != null) {10 for (Class<?> waiClass : webAppInitializerClasses) {11 // Be defensive: Some servlet containers provide us with invalid classes,12 // no matter what @HandlesTypes says...13 if (!waiClass.isInterface() && !Modifier.isAbstract(waiClass.getModifiers()) &&14 WebApplicationInitializer.class.isAssignableFrom(waiClass)) {15 try {16 initializers.add((WebApplicationInitializer) waiClass.newInstance());17 }18 catch (Throwable ex) {19 throw new ServletException("Failed to instantiate WebApplicationInitializer class", ex);20 }21 }22 }23 }24 25 if (initializers.isEmpty()) {26 servletContext.log("No Spring WebApplicationInitializer types detected on classpath");27 return;28 }29 30 servletContext.log(initializers.size() + " Spring WebApplicationInitializers detected on classpath");31 AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.sort(initializers);32 for (WebApplicationInitializer initializer : initializers) {33 initializer.onStartup(servletContext);34 }35 }36 37 } 在最后的foreach把所有的WebApplicationInitializer都启动一遍。那么问题来了，谁来启动SpringServletContainerInitializer，spring肯定不能自己就能启动的，在
web环境下，就只有web容器了。我们可以在上面某一个地方打个断点，然后Debug一下（事实上，完全可以全程Debug = =，这样准确又快捷，不过这样少了点寻找的意味，沿路风景还是挺不错的）
我知道了
