处理请求是MVC中的C(Control)部分,他是MVC的核心内容。在初始化上下文是将所有的HandlerMapping都加载到handlerMappings中且根据Order排序。每个HandlerMapping 都持有URL到Controller的映射关系。

在MVC初始化完成之后,对Http请求的处理是在doService()方法中完成的。DispatcherServlet是HttptServlet的子类,对Http请求的处理是在doService()方法中完成的。

       在初始化完成时,在上下文中配置的所有HandlerMapping都已经被加载了,(HandlerMap初始化) 并被排序后放在一个List中。HandlerMapping存储着Http请求和对应的处理器的映射数据。

   

/**
 *实现Http请求和handler对象映射关系的接口 *这个接口可以被应用开发者实现,虽然这不是必须的,因为在框架中包含了BeanNameUrlHanlderMapping和SimpleUrlHandlerMapping。同*时如果没有注册任何HandlerMapping上述连个HandlerMapping是默认的HandlerMapping
 * *HandlerMapping实现类支持拦截器的映射,但不是必要的。一个Handler始终包含在HandlerExutionChain实例中,也可以选择伴随一些拦*截器。DispatcherServlet首先按照顺序调用每个拦截器的preHandler方法,如果所有拦截器的的preHandler方法都返回true,最后将调**用handler自身。

      对请求的实际处理是在doDispatche()方法中完成的,其中主要步骤有:

 

  1. 准备ModelAndView, 
  2. 调用getHandler来获取处理该请求的Handler, 
  3. 然后通过handler响应请求返回一个ModelAndView 对象,
  4. 最后将这个ModelAndView交给视图对象去呈现。

 

 

 doService 接收到HttpServletRequest请求,在进行请求参数初始化后就直接将请求委派给doDispatch(),线面是doService源码:

 

/**
	 * Exposes the DispatcherServlet-specific request attributes and delegates to {@link #doDispatch}
	 * for the actual dispatching.
	 */
	@Override
	protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			String requestUri = urlPathHelper.getRequestUri(request);
			logger.debug("DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "' processing " + request.getMethod() +
					" request for [" + requestUri + "]");
		}

		// 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;
		// 如果给定的请求中包含请求
		if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
			logger.debug("Taking snapshot of request attributes before include");
			attributesSnapshot = new HashMap<String, Object>();
			//获取所有属性名称
			Enumeration<?> attrNames = request.getAttributeNames();
			while (attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {
				String attrName = (String) attrNames.nextElement();
				if (this.cleanupAfterInclude || attrName.startsWith("org.springframework.web.servlet")) {
					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 {
			// Restore the original attribute snapshot, in case of an include.
			if (attributesSnapshot != null) {
				restoreAttributesAfterInclude(request, attributesSnapshot);
			}
		}
	}

 

doDispatch()是HttpServletRequest请求真正被处理的类,

在该类中首先是从HandlerMappings中按照顺序检查是否有匹配的处理方法。如果在HandlerMappings中所有的handlerMap都没有匹配的处理方法则返回一个404.下面是doDispatch源码的分析:

 

/**
	 * Process the actual dispatching to the handler.
	 * <p>The handler will be obtained by applying the servlet's HandlerMappings in order.
	 * The HandlerAdapter will be obtained by querying the servlet's installed HandlerAdapters
	 * to find the first that supports the handler class.
	 * <p>All HTTP methods are handled by this method. It's up to HandlerAdapters or handlers
	 * themselves to decide which methods are acceptable.
	 * @param request current HTTP request
	 * @param response current HTTP response
	 * @throws Exception in case of any kind of processing failure
	 */
	protected void doDispatch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		HttpServletRequest processedRequest = request;
		HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler = null;
		int interceptorIndex = -1;

		try {
			ModelAndView mv;
			boolean errorView = false;

			try {
				// 判断请求是否是多媒体请求
				processedRequest = checkMultipart(request);

				// 获取当前请求的处理器HandlerExecutionChain
				mappedHandler = getHandler(processedRequest, false);
				if (mappedHandler == null || mappedHandler.getHandler() == null) {
				//如果没有处理器,则返回一个404
					noHandlerFound(processedRequest, response);
					return;
				}

				// 获取当前请求的Handler适配器
				HandlerAdapter ha = getHandlerAdapter(mappedHandler.getHandler());

                // Process last-modified header, if supported by the handler.
				//获取当前请求的请求方法
				String method = request.getMethod();
				// 判断当前请求方法是否是GET请求
				boolean isGet = "GET".equals(method);
				// 如果是GET请求或者是HEAD
				if (isGet || "HEAD".equals(method)) {
					//获取最后修改时间

						logger.debug("Last-Modified value for [" + requestUri + "] is: " + lastModified);
					}
					if (new ServletWebRequest(request, response).checkNotModified(lastModified) && isGet) {
						return;
					}
				}

				// 获取拦截器
				HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors = mappedHandler.getInterceptors();
				//如果拦截器不为空

					for (int i = 0; i < interceptors.length; i++) {
						HandlerInterceptor interceptor = interceptors[i];

							triggerAfterCompletion(mappedHandler, interceptorIndex, processedRequest, response, null);
							return;

				}

				// Apply postHandle methods of registered interceptors.
				if (interceptors != null) {

						HandlerInterceptor interceptor = interceptors[i];
						interceptor.postHandle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler(), mv);
					}
				}
			}
			catch (ModelAndViewDefiningException ex) {
				logger.debug("ModelAndViewDefiningException encountered", ex);

				mv = processHandlerException(processedRequest, response, handler, ex);
				errorView = (mv != null);

			if (mv != null && !mv.wasCleared()) {
				render(mv, processedRequest, response);

					WebUtils.clearErrorRequestAttributes(request);
				}
			}
			else {
				if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

							"': assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling");
				}

			triggerAfterCompletion(mappedHandler, interceptorIndex, processedRequest, response, null);
		}

		catch (Exception ex) {
			// Trigger after-completion for thrown exception.
			triggerAfterCompletion(mappedHandler, interceptorIndex, processedRequest, response, ex);

		}
		catch (Error err) {

			throw ex;
		}

		finally {
			// Clean up any resources used by a multipart request.
			if (processedRequest != request) {
				cleanupMultipart(processedRequest);
			}
		}
	}

 getHandler 就是遍历handlerMappings的过程,如果其中有一个handlerMappings 中有匹配的处理方法则返回该HandlerExecutionChain.

/**
	 * Return the HandlerExecutionChain for this request.
	 * <p>Tries all handler mappings in order.
	 * @param request current HTTP request
	 * @return the HandlerExecutionChain, or <code>null</code> if no handler could be found
	 */
	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;
	}

 

/**
	 * 查找一个给定请求的处理器,如果没有找到特定的处理器则返回一个默认处理器
	 * @param request current HTTP request
	 * @return the corresponding handler instance, or the default handler
	 * @see #getHandlerInternal
	 */
	public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
		Object handler = getHandlerInternal(request);
		// 如果没有找到处理器则使用默认值
		if (handler == null) {
			handler = getDefaultHandler();
		}
		// 如果也没有默认处理器则返回null
		if (handler == null) {
			return null;
		}
		// 找到处理器Bean的名称
		if (handler instanceof String) {
			String handlerName = (String) handler;
			// 从上下文中获取处理器
			handler = getApplicationContext().getBean(handlerName);
		}
		return getHandlerExecutionChain(handler, request);
	}

 

 HandlerExeutionChain 包含了Hnadler对象和一些列的拦截器

/**
 * Handler execution chain, consisting of handler object and any handler interceptors.
 * Returned by HandlerMapping's {@link HandlerMapping#getHandler} method.
 *
 * @author Juergen Hoeller
 * @since 20.06.2003
 * @see HandlerInterceptor
 */
public class HandlerExecutionChain {

	private final Object handler;

	private HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors;

	private List<HandlerInterceptor> interceptorList;

 

  在HandlerMapping中找到了当前请求的处理Handle以后,HandlerAdapter将会调用这个处理器处理请求

public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
			throws Exception {
		//获取处理器类
		Class<?> clazz = ClassUtils.getUserClass(handler);
		//从缓存中获取这个处理器的值,
		Boolean annotatedWithSessionAttributes = this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.get(clazz);
		//如果缓存中没有值,则判断这个处理器即controller上是否有@SessionAttribute注解,并将其放入到缓存中
		if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes == null) {
			annotatedWithSessionAttributes = (AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(clazz, SessionAttributes.class) != null);
			this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.put(clazz, annotatedWithSessionAttributes);
		}
		
		if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes) {
			
			checkAndPrepare(request, response, this.cacheSecondsForSessionAttributeHandlers, true);
			
		}
		else {
			
			checkAndPrepare(request, response, true);
		}

		
		if (this.synchronizeOnSession) {
			HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
			if (session != null) {
				Object mutex = WebUtils.getSessionMutex(session);
				synchronized (mutex) {
					return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
				}
			}
		}

		return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
	}

	//处理器调用处
	protected ModelAndView invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
			throws Exception {

		ServletHandlerMethodResolver methodResolver = getMethodResolver(handler);
		//获取处理方法
		Method handlerMethod = methodResolver.resolveHandlerMethod(request);
		ServletHandlerMethodInvoker methodInvoker = new ServletHandlerMethodInvoker(methodResolver);
		ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(request, response);
		ExtendedModelMap implicitModel = new BindingAwareModelMap();
		//反射调用处理方法
		Object result = methodInvoker.invokeHandlerMethod(handlerMethod, handler, webRequest, implicitModel);
		ModelAndView mav =
				methodInvoker.getModelAndView(handlerMethod, handler.getClass(), result, implicitModel, webRequest);
		methodInvoker.updateModelAttributes(handler, (mav != null ? mav.getModel() : null), implicitModel, webRequest);
		return mav;
