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：Archetype Created Web Application mvc org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet 1 mvc /*
在该配置中定义了一个HomeAction的Bean。内容为：zh_CN
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： hello lg !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
- 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
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 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 urls = new ArrayList (); 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 matchingBeans = BeanFactoryUtils.beansOfTypeIncludingAncestors(context, HandlerMapping.class, true, false); if (!matchingBeans.isEmpty()) { this.handlerMappings = new ArrayList (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继续看看defaultStrategies是如何初始化的：List getDefaultStrategies(ApplicationContext context, Class 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 strategies = new ArrayList (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 (); } }
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.AcceptHeaderLocaleResolverorg.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.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapterorg.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerExceptionResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver,\ org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.ResponseStatusExceptionResolver,\ org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolverorg.springframework.web.servlet.RequestToViewNameTranslator=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslatororg.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolverorg.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。
