SpringMVC源码总结（一）HandlerMapping和HandlerAdapter入门

SpringMVC在使用过程中，大多是使用注解，对它的实现接口之类的关系理解变得模糊，通过对XML配置的理解，可以理清各个类的关系，譬如控制器类要实现Controller接口。

接触SpringMVC,对它的xml文件配置一直比较模模糊糊，最近花了一点时间稍微看了下源代码，再加上调试，开始逐渐理解它，网上的类似的内容有很多，写本文主要是自己加深一下理解。本文适合用过SpringMVC的开发者，言归正传，首先搭建一个最简单的工程体验一下。

该工程是基于maven的，pom配置不再说明，所使用的spring版本4.0.5。
首先是web.xml文件配置，最简单的配置

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >
<web-app>
<display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

然后是mvc-servlet.xml文件的配置，上面配置DispatcherServlet会默认加载[servlet-name]-servlet.xml文件。对于我的配置，会去加载mvc-servlet.xml文件。
mvc-servlet.xml文件的内容：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util
http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util-2.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd">
<bean name="/index" class="com.lg.mvc.HomeAction"></bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerConfigurer">
<property name="templateLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/views" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="utf-8" />
<property name="freemarkerSettings">
<props>
<prop key="locale">zh_CN</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerViewResolver">
<property name="suffix" value=".html" />
<property name="contentType" value="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<property name="requestContextAttribute" value="request" />
<property name="exposeRequestAttributes" value="true" />
<property name="exposeSessionAttributes" value="true" />
</bean>
</beans>

在该配置中定义了一个HomeAction的Bean。内容为：

package com.lg.mvc;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller;
public class HomeAction implements Controller{
@Override
public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
return new ModelAndView("hello");
}
}

这是最原始的mvc做法，要继承Controller接口，先从原始的说起，最后再过渡到@Controller和@RequestMapping注解式的配置。它在mvc-serlet.xml文件中的配置有一个关键的属性name="/index"。
WEB-INF/view目录下有一个简单的hello.html，内容为：

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
hello lg !
</body>
</html>

至此该工程就写完了，部署到tomcat中，项目路径为/,运行一下。
访问 http://localhost:8080/index

至此整个工程就算搭建成功了。

下面就要说说原理了。
用过python Django框架的都知道Django对于访问方式的配置就是，一个url路径和一个函数配对，你访问这个url，就会直接调用这个函数，简单明了。对于java的面向对象来说，就要分两步走。第一步首先要找到是哪个对象，即handler，本工程的handler则是HomeAction对象。第二步要找到访问的函数，即HomeAction的handleRequest方法。所以就出现了两个源码接口 HandlerMapping和HandlerAdapter，前者负责第一步，后者负责第二步。借用网上的SpringMVC架构图。

HandlerMapping接口的实现（只举了我认识的几个）：

BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping ：通过对比url和bean的name找到对应的对象

SimpleUrlHandlerMapping ：也是直接配置url和对应bean,比BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping功能更多

DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping : 主要是针对注解配置@RequestMapping的，已过时

RequestMappingHandlerMapping ：取代了上面一个

HandlerAdapter 接口实现：

HttpRequestHandlerAdapter ：要求handler实现HttpRequestHandler接口，该接口的方法为 void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)也就是 handler必须有一个handleRequest方法

SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter：要求handler实现Controller接口，该接口的方法为ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)，也就是本工程采用的

AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter ：和上面的DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping配对使用的，也已过时

RequestMappingHandlerAdapter : 和上面的RequestMappingHandlerMapping配对使用，针对@RequestMapping

先简单的说下这个工程的流程，访问http://localhost:8080/index首先由DispatcherServlet进行转发，通过BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping(含有 /index->HomeAction的配置)，找到了HomeAction,然后再拿HomeAction和每个adapter进行适配，由于HomeAction实现了Controller接口，所以最终会有SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter来完成对HomeAction的handleRequest方法的调度。然后就顺利的执行了我们想要的方法，后面的内容不在本节中说明。

了解了大概流程，然后就需要看源代码了。
首先就是SpringMVC的入口类，DispatcherServlet，它实现了Servlet接口，不再详细说DispatcherServlet的细节，不然又是一大堆的内容。每次请求都会调用它的doService->doDispatch，我们关注的重点就在doDispatch方法中。

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);
//这个是重点，第一步由HandlerMapping找到对应的handler
// 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.
//这是第二步，找到合适的HandlerAdapter，然后由它来调度执行handler的方法
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;
}
try {
// Actually invoke the handler.
mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());
}
finally {
if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
return;
}
}
applyDefaultViewName(request, mv);
mappedHandler.applyPostHandle(processedRequest, response, mv);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
dispatchException = ex;
}
processDispatchResult(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, mv, dispatchException);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, ex);
}
catch (Error err) {
triggerAfterCompletionWithError(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, err);
}
finally {
if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
// Instead of postHandle and afterCompletion
mappedHandler.applyAfterConcurrentHandlingStarted(processedRequest, response);
return;
}
// Clean up any resources used by a multipart request.
if (multipartRequestParsed) {
cleanupMultipart(processedRequest);
}
}
}

第一步详细查看：

protected HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
for (HandlerMapping hm : this.handlerMappings) {
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
logger.trace(
"Testing handler map [" + hm + "] in DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'");
}
HandlerExecutionChain handler = hm.getHandler(request);
if (handler != null) {
return handler;
}
}
return null;
}

可以看到就是通过遍历所有已注册的HandlerMapping来找到对应的handler,然后构建出一个HandlerExecutionChain，它包含了handler和HandlerMapping本身的一些拦截器，如下

public class HandlerExecutionChain {
private final Object handler;
private HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors;
private List<HandlerInterceptor> interceptorList;
//其他代码省略
}

其中HandlerMapping的getHandler实现：

public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
Object handler = getHandlerInternal(request);
if (handler == null) {
handler = getDefaultHandler();
}
if (handler == null) {
return null;
}
// Bean name or resolved handler?
if (handler instanceof String) {
String handlerName = (String) handler;
handler = getApplicationContext().getBean(handlerName);
}
return getHandlerExecutionChain(handler, request);
}

这里的getHandlerInternal(request)是个抽象方法，由具体的HandlerMapping来实现，获取到的handler如果为空,则获取默认配置的handler，如果handler为String类型，则表示这个则会去Spring容器里面去找这样名字的bean。
再看下BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping的getHandlerInternal（request）的具体实现（通过一系列的接口设计，之后再好好看看这个设计，到BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping这只用实现该方法中的一部分），如下

public class BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping extends AbstractDetectingUrlHandlerMapping {
/**
* Checks name and aliases of the given bean for URLs, starting with "/".
*/
@Override
protected String[] determineUrlsForHandler(String beanName) {
List<String> urls = new ArrayList<String>();
if (beanName.startsWith("/")) {
urls.add(beanName);
}
String[] aliases = getApplicationContext().getAliases(beanName);
for (String alias : aliases) {
if (alias.startsWith("/")) {
urls.add(alias);
}
}
return StringUtils.toStringArray(urls);
}
}

这里面注释说，bean的name必须以/开头，它才处理，将信息存储在Map<String, Object> handlerMap中，对于本工程来说就是{'/index':HomeAction对象}。
至此这里完成了第一步，下面开始第二步，即方法HandlerAdapter ha = getHandlerAdapter(mappedHandler.getHandler());的具体实现：

protected HandlerAdapter getHandlerAdapter(Object handler) throws ServletException {
for (HandlerAdapter ha : this.handlerAdapters) {
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
logger.trace("Testing handler adapter [" + ha + "]");
}
if (ha.supports(handler)) {
return ha;
}
}
throw new ServletException("No adapter for handler [" + handler +
"]: The DispatcherServlet configuration needs to include a HandlerAdapter that supports this handler");
}

遍历所有的HandlerAdapter,判断他们是否支持这个handler。
我们来看下HttpRequestHandlerAdapter的supports(handler)方法：

public class HttpRequestHandlerAdapter implements HandlerAdapter {
@Override
public boolean supports(Object handler) {
//就是判断handler是否实现了HttpRequestHandler接口
return (handler instanceof HttpRequestHandler);
}
@Override
public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
throws Exception {
//若handler实现了HttpRequestHandler接口，则调用该接口的方法，执行我们在该方法中写的业务逻辑
((HttpRequestHandler) handler).handleRequest(request, response);
return null;
}
@Override
public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request, Object handler) {
if (handler instanceof LastModified) {
return ((LastModified) handler).getLastModified(request);
}
return -1L;
}
}

同理SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter也是这样类似的逻辑

public class SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter implements HandlerAdapter {
@Override
public boolean supports(Object handler) {
return (handler instanceof Controller);
}
@Override
public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
throws Exception {
return ((Controller) handler).handleRequest(request, response);
}
@Override
public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request, Object handler) {
if (handler instanceof LastModified) {
return ((LastModified) handler).getLastModified(request);
}
return -1L;
}
}

剩余两个AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter和RequestMappingHandlerAdapter就比较复杂，我也没看。
按照本工程的配置，则SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter是支持HomeAction的，然后就会执行SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter的handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler())方法。本质上就会调用HomeAction实现Controller接口的方法。至此就分析完了。
了解过程了之后，然后就是最重要的也是经常配置出问题的地方。DispatcherServlet的handlerMappings和handlerAdapters的来源问题。

DispatcherServlet初始化的时候，会调用一个方法如下：

protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context) {
initMultipartResolver(context);
initLocaleResolver(context);
initThemeResolver(context);
//初始化一些HandlerMapping
initHandlerMappings(context);
//初始化一些HandlerAdapter
initHandlerAdapters(context);
initHandlerExceptionResolvers(context);
initRequestToViewNameTranslator(context);
initViewResolvers(context);
initFlashMapManager(context);
}

这里可以看到，它会初始化一些HandlerMapping和HandlerAdapter，这两个方法非常重要，理解了这两个方法你就会知道，配置不对问题出在哪里，下面具体看下这两个方法：

private void initHandlerMappings(ApplicationContext context) {
this.handlerMappings = null;
if (this.detectAllHandlerMappings) {
// Find all HandlerMappings in the ApplicationContext, including ancestor contexts.
Map<String, HandlerMapping> matchingBeans =
BeanFactoryUtils.beansOfTypeIncludingAncestors(context, HandlerMapping.class, true, false);
if (!matchingBeans.isEmpty()) {
this.handlerMappings = new ArrayList<HandlerMapping>(matchingBeans.values());
// We keep HandlerMappings in sorted order.
OrderComparator.sort(this.handlerMappings);
}
}
else {
try {
HandlerMapping hm = context.getBean(HANDLER_MAPPING_BEAN_NAME, HandlerMapping.class);
this.handlerMappings = Collections.singletonList(hm);
}
catch (NoSuchBeanDefinitionException ex) {
// Ignore, we'll add a default HandlerMapping later.
}
}
// Ensure we have at least one HandlerMapping, by registering
// a default HandlerMapping if no other mappings are found.
if (this.handlerMappings == null) {
this.handlerMappings = getDefaultStrategies(context, HandlerMapping.class);
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("No HandlerMappings found in servlet '" + getServletName() + "': using default");
}
}
}

detectAllHandlerMappings是DispatcherServlet的一个属性，你是可以在web.xml中配置的，默认是true，如果为true,则会去从本工程mvc-servlet.xml文件中去探测所有实现了HandlerMapping的bean，如果有，则加入DispatcherServlet的handlerMappings中。如果detectAllHandlerMappings为false,则直接去容器中找id="handlerMapping"且实现了HandlerMapping的bean.如果以上都没找到，则会去加载默认的HandlerMapping。

/** Detect all HandlerMappings or just expect "handlerMapping" bean? */
private boolean detectAllHandlerMappings = true;

本工程由于没有配置HandlerMapping,所以它会去加载默认的，下面看看默认的配置是什么

protected <T> List<T> getDefaultStrategies(ApplicationContext context, Class<T> strategyInterface) {
String key = strategyInterface.getName();
//defaultStrategies存储了默认的配置
String value = defaultStrategies.getProperty(key);
if (value != null) {
String[] classNames = StringUtils.commaDelimitedListToStringArray(value);
List<T> strategies = new ArrayList<T>(classNames.length);
for (String className : classNames) {
try {
Class<?> clazz = ClassUtils.forName(className, DispatcherServlet.class.getClassLoader());
Object strategy = createDefaultStrategy(context, clazz);
strategies.add((T) strategy);
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new BeanInitializationException(
"Could not find DispatcherServlet's default strategy class [" + className +
"] for interface [" + key + "]", ex);
}
catch (LinkageError err) {
throw new BeanInitializationException(
"Error loading DispatcherServlet's default strategy class [" + className +
"] for interface [" + key + "]: problem with class file or dependent class", err);
}
}
return strategies;
}
else {
return new LinkedList<T>();
}
}

继续看看defaultStrategies是如何初始化的：

private static final Properties defaultStrategies;
static {
// Load default strategy implementations from properties file.
// This is currently strictly internal and not meant to be customized
// by application developers.
try {
//这里的DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH就是DispatcherServlet.properties
ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH, DispatcherServlet.class);
defaultStrategies = PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties(resource);
}
catch (IOException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Could not load 'DispatcherServlet.properties': " + ex.getMessage());
}
}

这里使用静态代码块来加载配置文件DispatcherServlet.properties，它所在位置就是和DispatcherServlet同一目录下面的，如下图所示：

该默认的配置文件的内容如下：

# Default implementation classes for DispatcherServlet's strategy interfaces.
# Used as fallback when no matching beans are found in the DispatcherServlet context.
# Not meant to be customized by application developers.
org.springframework.web.servlet.LocaleResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver
org.springframework.web.servlet.ThemeResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.FixedThemeResolver
#这里就是默认的HandlerMapping的配置
org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerMapping=org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping,\
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping
#这里就是默认的HandlerAdapter的配置
org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerAdapter=org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.HttpRequestHandlerAdapter,\
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter,\
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter
org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerExceptionResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver,\
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.ResponseStatusExceptionResolver,\
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver
org.springframework.web.servlet.RequestToViewNameTranslator=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator
org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver
org.springframework.web.servlet.FlashMapManager=org.springframework.web.servlet.support.SessionFlashMapManager

也就是说，当你什么都没有配置时，默认会加载以上的配置。正是由于有了上述默认配置的BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping（它要求name必须是以/开头的），它才会存储我们在mvc-servlet.xml中配置的<bean name="/index" class="com.lg.mvc.HomeAction"></bean>,同样正是由于有了SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter（由于handler实现了Controller接口，所以它的support方法支持我们的handler），才会调度执行HomeAction的handleRequest方法。
