微信公众号接入之排序问题小记 Arrays.sort()

　　微信公众号作为强大的自媒体工具，对接一下是很正常的了。不过这不是本文的方向，本文的方向公众号接入的排序问题。

　　最近接了一个重构的小项目，需要将原有的php的公众号后台系统，转换为java系统。当然，也很简单的了。

　　

　　不过，在接入的时候，遇到有一个有趣的问题，可以分享下。

　　大家知道，要将微信在接到用户的请求之后，可以将消息转发给咱们在公众号后台指定的 server 地址，而在指定这个地址的时候，又需要先校验下这个地址是否连通的，是不是开发者自己的用来处理微信转发消息的地址。因此有一个服务器 token 的校验过程。
校验token的过程，算法很简单，引用微信文档原文如下:

开发者通过检验signature对请求进行校验（下面有校验方式）。若确认此次GET请求来自微信服务器，请原样返回echostr参数内容，则接入生效，成为开发者成功，否则接入失败。加密/校验流程如下：

1）将token、timestamp、nonce三个参数进行字典序排序

2）将三个参数字符串拼接成一个字符串进行sha1加密

3）开发者获得加密后的字符串可与signature对比，标识该请求来源于微信

php 示例如下：

private function checkSignature()
{
    _GET["signature"];
    _GET["timestamp"];
    _GET["nonce"];

    tmpArr = array(timestamp, $nonce);
    sort($tmpArr);        // 官方最新版demo已经修复该排序问题了 sort($tmpArr, SORT_STRING);
    $tmpStr = implode( $tmpArr );
    $tmpStr = sha1( $tmpStr );

    if( signature ){
        return true;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}

而且，下方demo也给的妥妥的。好吧，对接是不会有问题了！

我也按照java版的demo，给整了个接入进来！java 的验证样例如下：

    public String validate(@ModelAttribute WxValidateBean validateBean) {
        String myValidToken = signatureWxReq(validateBean.getToken(), validateBean.getTimestamp(), validateBean.getNonce());
        if(myValidToken.equals(validateBean.getSignature())) {
            return validateBean.getEchostr();
        }
        return "";
    }

    public String signatureWxReq(String token, String timestamp, String nonce) {
        try {
            String[] array = new String[] { token, timestamp, nonce };
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
            // 字符串排序
            Arrays.sort(array);
            for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
                sb.append(array[i]);
            }
            String str = sb.toString();
            // SHA1签名生成
            MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
            md.update(str.getBytes());
            byte[] digest = md.digest();

            StringBuffer hexstr = new StringBuffer();
            String shaHex = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < digest.length; i++) {
                shaHex = Integer.toHexString(digest[i] & 0xFF);
                if (shaHex.length() < 2) {
                    hexstr.append(0);
                }
                hexstr.append(shaHex);
            }
            return hexstr.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw new RuntimeException("加密sign异常!");
        }
    }
    

　　按理肯定也不会有问题了。不过为了保险起见，我还是写了个测试用例！自测一下！

    private final String oldSysWxAddress = "http://a.com/wx";
    private final String newSysWxAddress = "http://localhost:8080/wx";

    @Test
    public void testWxValidateToken() throws IOException {

        String token = "abc123";
        String timestamp = new Date().getTime() / 1000 + "";
        String nonce = "207665";        // 这个就随便一写的数字
        String echoStr = "1kjdslfj";
        String signature = signatureWxReq(token, timestamp, nonce);

        Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("token", token);
        params.put("timestamp", timestamp);
        params.put("nonce", nonce);
        params.put("signature", signature);
        params.put("echostr", echoStr);

        String oldSysResponse = HttpClientOp.doGet(oldSysWxAddress, params);
        Assert.assertEquals("老系统验证不通过，请检查加密算法！", oldSysResponse, echoStr);

        String newSysResponse = HttpClientOp.doGet(newSysWxAddress, params);
        Assert.assertEquals("新系统验证不通过，出bug了！", newSysResponse, echoStr);

        Assert.assertEquals("新老返回不一致，测试不通过！", newSysResponse, oldSysResponse);
        System.out.println("OK");

    }
    

　　想着吧，也就走个过场得了。结果，还真不是这样！出问题了，"老系统验证不通过，请检查加密算法！" 。

　　按理不应该啊！但是代码是理智的，咱们得找到bug不是。

　　最后，通过一步步排查，终于发现了，原来是 php 的排序结果，与 java 的排序结果不一致，因此得到的加密串就不对了。

　　为啥呢？sort($tmpArr); php是弱类型语言，我们请求的虽然看起来是字符串，但是解析后，因为得到的是一整串数字，因此就认为是可以用整型或这种比较数字大小方式了。而修复方式自然就是，指明是使用字符串方式来排序就行了，如上官方修正。

所以，一比较时间和 nonce 随机数，因为随机数位数小，因此自然就应该排在时间戳的前面了。

　　

而对于 java 的排序呢？ Arrays.sort(Object[] a), 我们来看一下源码！

　　可以看到，Arrays.sort(), 对于小数的排序，是使用二分插入排序来做的，而具体排序先后，则是调用具体类的 compareTo() 方法，也就是说要进行比较的类，须实现Comparable 接口。另外，从String的比较方法中，我们也可以看出 char 其实能保存很多东西而不只是 1-128。比如 char s = (char)"中";

而对于排序算法，则针对不同情况，选择不同的合适算法，从而提高运行效率！

而对于String.compareTo() 则是比较字符的ascii顺序！

算法说明：

1. 对于小数的排序，使用二分插入排序，原理：

　　1. 先从最开始出发，找出最大的递增或者递减的个数，如果递减，则倒序处理排列，从而使前 n 个元素呈排列状态；

　　2. 从之前排好序之后的元素开始，使用二分查找法，得到需要移动的个数，进行相应元素的转换。因为 lo 一直是初始值，所以，在 start 循环到 hi 操作完成交换之后，就完成了所有的排序了。

2. 而对大些的数组排序，则使用分而治之的方法，拆分处理，原理：

　　1. 先算出一个合适的大小，在将输入按其升序和降序特点进行了分区，拆分的原则是大小需要小 MIN_MERGE,也就是32。

　　2. 针对这些第个分区序列，先按照小数的排序方式排好，然后将结果按规则进行合并。

　　3. 每次合并会将两个run合并成一个 run。合并的结果保存到栈中。合并直到消耗掉所有的run，这时将栈上剩余的 run合并到只剩一个 run 为止。这时这个仅剩的 run 便是排好序的结果。
