接上文 SpringMVC原理之Spring应用上下文（Ioc容器）在Web容器中的启动分析。

在前文的分析过程中，了解了 Spring的上下文体系通过ContextLoader和DispatcherServiet建立并初始化的过程。在完成对ContextLoaderListener的初始化以后，Web容器开始初始化DispatcherServlet，这个初始化的启动与在web.xml中对载入次序的定义有关。
DispatcherServiet会建立自己的上下文来持有Spring MVC的Bean对象，在建立这个自己持有的Ioc容器时，会从ServletContext中得到根上下文作为DispatcherServlet持有上下文的双亲上下文。有了这个根上下文，再对自己持有的上下文进行初始化，最后把自己持有的这个上下文保存到ServletContext（Web容器的上下文）中，供以后检索和使用。

Spring MVC设计概览

DispatcherServlet的启动过程，实际上也是Spring MVC的启动过程。Spring MVC的核心类DispatcherServlet的类图设计如下：

DispatcherServiet通过继承FrameworkServlet和HttpServletBean而继承了 HttpServlet ，通过使用Servlet API来对HTTP请求进行响应，成为Spring MVC的前端处理器，同时成为MVC模块与Web容器集成的处理前端。

DispatcherServiet的工作大致可以分为两个部分：一个是初始化部分，由initServletBean()启动，通过initWebAppIicationContext()方法最终调用DispatcherServlet的initStrategies方法。在这个方法里，DispatcherServlet对MVC模块的其他部分进行了初始化，比如handlerMapping, ViewResolver等。另一个是对HTTP请求进行响应，作为一个Serviet，Web容器会调用Servlet的doGet()和doPost()方法，在经过FrameworkServlet的processRequest()简单处理后，会调用DispatcherServlet的doService()方法，在这个方法调用中封装了doDispatch()，这个doDispatch()是Dispatcher实现MVC模式的主要部分。

先看看DispatcherServlet类的部分源码如下，是不是发现的什么，这里的这么多_BEAN_NAME是不是好眼熟。。。

public class DispatcherServlet extends FrameworkServlet {
    public static final String MULTIPART_RESOLVER_BEAN_NAME = "multipartResolver";

    private static final Properties defaultStrategies;
    private boolean detectAllHandlerMappings = true;

}

DispatcherServlet的处理过程：

DispatcherServlet的启动和初始化

作为Servlet，DispatcherServlet的启动与Servlet的启动过程是相联系的。在Servlet的初始化过程中，Servlet的init方法会被调用。

在HttpServletBean中进行初始化：

   public final void init() throws ServletException {
        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            this.logger.debug("Initializing servlet '" + this.getServletName() + "'");
        }
        //获取Servlet的初始化参数.对Bean属性进行配置
        PropertyValues pvs = new HttpServletBean.ServletConfigPropertyValues(this.getServletConfig(), this.requiredProperties);
        if (!pvs.isEmpty()) {
            try {
                BeanWrapper bw = PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(this);
                ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new ServletContextResourceLoader(this.getServletContext());
                bw.registerCustomEditor(Resource.class, new ResourceEditor(resourceLoader, this.getEnvironment()));
                this.initBeanWrapper(bw);
                bw.setPropertyValues(pvs, true);
            } catch (BeansException var4) {
                if (this.logger.isErrorEnabled()) {
                    this.logger.error("Failed to set bean properties on servlet '" + this.getServletName() + "'", var4);
                }

                throw var4;
            }
        }
        //调用子类的initServletaean进行具体的初始化
        this.initServletBean();
        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            this.logger.debug("Servlet '" + this.getServletName() + "' configured successfully");
        }

    }

FrameworkServlet中的初始化方法：

  protected final void initServletBean() throws ServletException {

        this.getServletContext().log("Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet '" + this.getServletName() + "'");
        if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
            this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + this.getServletName() + "': initialization started");
        }

        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

        try {
            //初始MVC化上下文
            this.webApplicationContext = this.initWebApplicationContext();
            this.initFrameworkServlet();
        } catch (RuntimeException | ServletException var5) {
            this.logger.error("Context initialization failed", var5);
            throw var5;
        }

        if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
            long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
            this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + this.getServletName() + "': initialization completed in " + elapsedTime + " ms");
        }

    }

    //初始化MVC上下文
    protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext() {
        //取得跟上下文
        WebApplicationContext rootContext = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(this.getServletContext());
        WebApplicationContext wac = null;
        if (this.webApplicationContext != null) {
            wac = this.webApplicationContext;
            if (wac instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
                ConfigurableWebApplicationContext cwac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext)wac;
                if (!cwac.isActive()) {
                    if (cwac.getParent() == null) {
                        //设置MVC上下文的双亲上下文为跟上下文webApplicationContext 
                        cwac.setParent(rootContext);
                    }

                    this.configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac);
                }
            }
        }

        if (wac == null) {
            //先查找
            wac = this.findWebApplicationContext();
        }

        if (wac == null) {
            //再创建
            wac = this.createWebApplicationContext(rootContext);
        }

        if (!this.refreshEventReceived) {
            //IoC容器必经步骤  跟上下文和MVC上下文都是IoC容器
            this.onRefresh(wac);
        }

        if (this.publishContext) {
            String attrName = this.getServletContextAttributeName();
            //设置MVC上下文到Web上下文servletContext中
            this.getServletContext().setAttribute(attrName, wac);
            if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                this.logger.debug("Published WebApplicationContext of servlet '" + this.getServletName() + "' as ServletContext attribute with name [" + attrName + "]");
            }
        }

        return wac;
    }

 //被调用创建
 protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(@Nullable WebApplicationContext parent) {
        return this.createWebApplicationContext((ApplicationContext)parent);
 }

//被上面调用
protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(@Nullable ApplicationContext parent) {
        Class<?> contextClass = this.getContextClass();
        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            this.logger.debug("Servlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "' will try to create custom WebApplicationContext context of class '" + contextClass.getName() + "', using parent context [" + parent + "]");
        }

        if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) {
            throw new ApplicationContextException("Fatal initialization error in servlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "': custom WebApplicationContext class [" + contextClass.getName() + "] is not of type ConfigurableWebApplicationContext");
        } else {
            //初始化MVC上下文，
            ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext)BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass);
            wac.setEnvironment(this.getEnvironment());
            //设置双亲
            wac.setParent(parent);
            String configLocation = this.getContextConfigLocation();
            if (configLocation != null) {
                wac.setConfigLocation(configLocation);
            }

            this.configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(wac);
            return wac;
        }
    }

由干这个根上下文是DispatcherServlet建立的上下文的双亲上下文，所以根上下文中粉理的Bean也是可以被DispatcherServlet的上下文使用的。通过getBean向IoC容器获取Bean时.容器会先到它的双亲IoC容器中获取getBean。

除了上面的SpringMVC上下文的的创建之外，还需要启动SpringMVC中的其他一些配置初始化，通过上面的onRefresh调用来完成，这个方法在子类DispatcherServlet中被覆盖了，实际调用了initStrategies进行配置，这里就不细说这些配置了。
源码如下：

   protected void onRefresh(ApplicationContext context) {
        this.initStrategies(context);
    }
    //各种初始化配置
   protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context) {
        this.initMultipartResolver(context);
        this.initLocaleResolver(context);
        this.initThemeResolver(context);
        this.initHandlerMappings(context);
        this.initHandlerAdapters(context);
        this.initHandlerExceptionResolvers(context);
        this.initRequestToViewNameTranslator(context);
        this.initViewResolvers(context);
        this.initFlashMapManager(context);
    }

MVC处理HTTP分发请求

在MVC框架初始化完成以后，对HTTP请求的处理是在doService()方法中完成的。DispatcherServiet是HttpServlet的子类，
与其他HttpServlet一样，可以通过doService()来响应HTTP的请求。

 protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            String resumed = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).hasConcurrentResult() ? " resumed" : "";
            this.logger.debug("DispatcherServlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "'" + resumed + " processing " + request.getMethod() + " request for [" + getRequestUri(request) + "]");
        }

        Map<String, Object> attributesSnapshot = null;
        if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
            attributesSnapshot = new HashMap();
            Enumeration attrNames = request.getAttributeNames();

            label112:
            while(true) {
                String attrName;
                do {
                    if (!attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {
                        break label112;
                    }

                    attrName = (String)attrNames.nextElement();
                } while(!this.cleanupAfterInclude && !attrName.startsWith("org.springframework.web.servlet"));

                attributesSnapshot.put(attrName, request.getAttribute(attrName));
            }
        }
        //对HTTP请求参数进行快照处理
        request.setAttribute(WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.getWebApplicationContext());
        request.setAttribute(LOCALE_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.localeResolver);
        request.setAttribute(THEME_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.themeResolver);
        request.setAttribute(THEME_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE, this.getThemeSource());
        if (this.flashMapManager != null) {
            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 {
            //这里分发请求
            this.doDispatch(request, response);
        } finally {
            if (!WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).isConcurrentHandlingStarted() && attributesSnapshot != null) {
                this.restoreAttributesAfterInclude(request, attributesSnapshot);
            }

        }

    }

对请求的处理实际上是由doDispatch()来完成的，过程如下图：

doDispatch()源码入下：

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

        try {
            try {
                //这里为视图准备好ModelAndViev,这个ModelAndView持有handler处理请求的结果
                ModelAndView mv = null;
                Object dispatchException = null;

                try {
                    processedRequest = this.checkMultipart(request);
                    multipartRequestParsed = processedRequest != request;
                    //根据请求得到对应的HandlerExecutionChain 
                    mappedHandler = this.getHandler(processedRequest);
                    if (mappedHandler == null) {
                        this.noHandlerFound(processedRequest, response);
                        return;
                    }
                    //利用HandlerAdapter处理一把，检查Handler的合法性
                    HandlerAdapter ha = this.getHandlerAdapter(mappedHandler.getHandler());
                    String method = request.getMethod();
                    boolean isGet = "GET".equals(method);
                    if (isGet || "HEAD".equals(method)) {
                        long lastModified = ha.getLastModified(request, mappedHandler.getHandler());
                        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                            this.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;
                    }
                    //handler处理的结果封装到ModelAndView对象中.为视图提供展现数据
                    mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());
                    if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
                        return;
                    }

                    this.applyDefaultViewName(processedRequest, mv);
                    mappedHandler.applyPostHandle(processedRequest, response, mv);
                } catch (Exception var20) {
                    dispatchException = var20;
                } catch (Throwable var21) {
                    dispatchException = new NestedServletException("Handler dispatch failed", var21);
                }
                //根据ModelAndView 渲染View视图
                this.processDispatchResult(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, mv, (Exception)dispatchException);
            } catch (Exception var22) {
                this.triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, var22);
            } catch (Throwable var23) {
                this.triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, new NestedServletException("Handler processing failed", var23));
            }

        } finally {
            if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
                if (mappedHandler != null) {
                    mappedHandler.applyAfterConcurrentHandlingStarted(processedRequest, response);
                }
            } else if (multipartRequestParsed) {
                this.cleanupMultipart(processedRequest);
            }

        }
    }

通过render方法来处理请求;

protected void render(ModelAndView mv, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        Locale locale = this.localeResolver != null ? this.localeResolver.resolveLocale(request) : request.getLocale();
        response.setLocale(locale);
        String viewName = mv.getViewName();
        View view;
        if (viewName != null) {
            //处理视图
            view = this.resolveViewName(viewName, mv.getModelInternal(), locale, request);
            if (view == null) {
                throw new ServletException("Could not resolve view with name '" + mv.getViewName() + "' in servlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "'");
            }
        } else {
            view = mv.getView();
            if (view == null) {
                throw new ServletException("ModelAndView [" + mv + "] neither contains a view name nor a View object in servlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "'");
            }
        }

        if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            this.logger.debug("Rendering view [" + view + "] in DispatcherServlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "'");
        }

        try {
            //返回码
            if (mv.getStatus() != null) {
                response.setStatus(mv.getStatus().value());
            }

            view.render(mv.getModelInternal(), request, response);
        } catch (Exception var8) {
            if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
                this.logger.debug("Error rendering view [" + view + "] in DispatcherServlet with name '" + this.getServletName() + "'", var8);
            }

            throw var8;
        }
    }

通过resolveViewName来处理视图：

protected View resolveViewName(String viewName, @Nullable Map<String, Object> model, Locale locale, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        if (this.viewResolvers != null) {
            Iterator var5 = this.viewResolvers.iterator();

            while(var5.hasNext()) {
                ViewResolver viewResolver = (ViewResolver)var5.next();
                View view = viewResolver.resolveViewName(viewName, locale);
                if (view != null) {
                    return view;
                }
            }
        }

        return null;
    }
