根据Tomcat源码来看一下Tomcat启动过程都做了什么
部分代码为主要流程代码，删去了try-catch以及一些校验逻辑，方便理解主流程
先来一张启动过程时序图，了解一下启动顺序
Tomcat启动的入口类：org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap#main
main方法是整个tomcat启动时的入口。在main方法中，使用bootstrap.init()来初始化类加载器和创建Catalina实例，然后再启动Catalina线程。
public static void main(String args[]) {
if (daemon == null) {
// Don't set daemon until init() has completed
Bootstrap bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
try {
bootstrap.init();
} catch (Throwable t) {
handleThrowable(t);
t.printStackTrace();
return;
}
daemon = bootstrap;
} else {
// When running as a service the call to stop will be on a new
// thread so make sure the correct class loader is used to prevent
// a range of class not found exceptions.
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(daemon.catalinaLoader);
}
try {
String command = "start";
if (args.length > 0) {
command = args[args.length - 1];
}
if (command.equals("startd")) {
args[args.length - 1] = "start";
daemon.load(args);
daemon.start();
} else if (command.equals("stopd")) {
args[args.length - 1] = "stop";
daemon.stop();
} else if (command.equals("start")) {
daemon.setAwait(true);
daemon.load(args);
daemon.start();
} else if (command.equals("stop")) {
daemon.stopServer(args);
} else if (command.equals("configtest")) {
daemon.load(args);
if (null==daemon.getServer()) {
System.exit(1);
}
System.exit(0);
} else {
log.warn("Bootstrap: command \"" + command + "\" does not exist.");
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
// Unwrap the Exception for clearer error reporting
if (t instanceof InvocationTargetException &&
t.getCause() != null) {
t = t.getCause();
}
handleThrowable(t);
t.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
} |
bootstrap.init()方法，用于初始化容器相关，首先创建类加载器，然后通过反射创建org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina实例：
public void init() throws Exception {
initClassLoaders();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(catalinaLoader);
SecurityClassLoad.securityClassLoad(catalinaLoader);
// Load our startup class and call its process() method
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Loading startup class");
Class<?> startupClass =
catalinaLoader.loadClass
("org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina");
Object startupInstance = startupClass.newInstance();
// Set the shared extensions class loader
if (log.isDebugEnabled())
log.debug("Setting startup class properties");
String methodName = "setParentClassLoader";
Class<?> paramTypes[] = new Class[1];
paramTypes[0] = Class.forName("java.lang.ClassLoader");
Object paramValues[] = new Object[1];
paramValues[0] = sharedLoader;
Method method =
startupInstance.getClass().getMethod(methodName, paramTypes);
method.invoke(startupInstance, paramValues);
catalinaDaemon = startupInstance;
} |
之后Bootstrap的demon.start()方法就会调用Catalina的start方法。
Catalina实例执行start方法。这里有两个点，一个是load()加载server.xml配置、初始化Server的过程，一个是getServer().start()开启服务、初始化并开启一系列组件、子容器的过程。
public void start() {
if (getServer() == null) {
load();
}
if (getServer() == null) {
log.fatal("Cannot start server. Server instance is not configured.");
return;
}
long t1 = System.nanoTime();
// Start the new server
try {
getServer().start();
} catch (LifecycleException e) {
log.fatal(sm.getString("catalina.serverStartFail"), e);
try {
getServer().destroy();
} catch (LifecycleException e1) {
log.debug("destroy() failed for failed Server ", e1);
}
return;
}
long t2 = System.nanoTime();
if(log.isInfoEnabled()) {
log.info("Server startup in " + ((t2 - t1) / 1000000) + " ms");
}
// Register shutdown hook
if (useShutdownHook) {
if (shutdownHook == null) {
shutdownHook = new CatalinaShutdownHook();
}
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdownHook);
// If JULI is being used, disable JULI's shutdown hook since
// shutdown hooks run in parallel and log messages may be lost
// if JULI's hook completes before the CatalinaShutdownHook()
LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();
if (logManager instanceof ClassLoaderLogManager) {
((ClassLoaderLogManager) logManager).setUseShutdownHook(
false);
}
}
if (await) {
await();
stop();
}
} |
load方法解析server.xml配置文件，并加载Server、Service、Connector、Container、Engine、Host、Context、Wrapper一系列的容器。加载完成后，调用getServer().start()来开启一个新的Server。
下面先看load方法怎么加载组件和容器的：
/** * Start a new server instance.
*/
public void load() {
long t1 = System.nanoTime();
initDirs();
// Before digester - it may be needed
initNaming();
// Create and execute our Digester
Digester digester = createStartDigester();
InputSource inputSource = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
File file = null;
file = configFile();
inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
inputSource = new InputSource(file.toURI().toURL().toString());
inputSource.setByteStream(inputStream);
digester.push(this);
digester.parse(inputSource);
getServer().setCatalina(this);
getServer().setCatalinaHome(Bootstrap.getCatalinaHomeFile());
getServer().setCatalinaBase(Bootstrap.getCatalinaBaseFile());
// Stream redirection
initStreams();
// Start the new server
getServer().init();
}
|
首先利用Digester类解析server.xml文件，得到容器的配置，并创建相应的对象，并关联父子容器。依次创建的是StandardServer、StandardService、StandardEngine、StandardHost。
然后拿到StandardServer实例调用init()方法初始化Tomcat容器的一系列组件。一些容器初始化的的时候，都会调用其子容器的init()方法，初始化它的子容器。顺序是StandardServer、StandardService、StandardEngine、Connector。每个容器都在初始化自身相关设置的同时，将子容器初始化。
这里插入一个Tomcat中生命周期的概念。在初始化、开启一系列组件、容器的过程中，由tomcat'管理的组件和容器，都有一个共同的特点，都实现了org.apache.catalina.Lifecycle接口，由Tomcat管理其生命周期。Lifecycle提供一种统一的管理对象生命周期的接口。通过Lifecycle、LifecycleListener、LifecycleEvent，Catalina实现了对tomcat各种组件、容器统一的启动和停止的方式。
在Tomcat服务开启过程中启动的一些列组件、容器，都继承了org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase这个抽象类，其中的init()、start() 方法、stop() 方法，为其子类实现了统一的start和stop管理。方法中具体的initInternal()、startInternal() 和stopInternal() 方法，交由子类自己实现。
看一下LifecycleBase的init()和start()的实现吧：
public final synchronized void init() throws LifecycleException {
if (!state.equals(LifecycleState.NEW)) {
invalidTransition(Lifecycle.BEFORE_INIT_EVENT);
}
try {
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.INITIALIZING, null, false);
initInternal();
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.INITIALIZED, null, false);
} catch (Throwable t) {
ExceptionUtils.handleThrowable(t);
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.FAILED, null, false);
throw new LifecycleException(
sm.getString("lifecycleBase.initFail",toString()), t);
}
}public final synchronized void start() throws LifecycleException {
if (LifecycleState.STARTING_PREP.equals(state) || LifecycleState.STARTING.equals(state) ||
LifecycleState.STARTED.equals(state)) {
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
Exception e = new LifecycleException();
log.debug(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.alreadyStarted", toString()), e);
} else if (log.isInfoEnabled()) {
log.info(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.alreadyStarted", toString()));
}
return;
}
if (state.equals(LifecycleState.NEW)) {
init();
} else if (state.equals(LifecycleState.FAILED)) {
stop();
} else if (!state.equals(LifecycleState.INITIALIZED) &&
!state.equals(LifecycleState.STOPPED)) {
invalidTransition(Lifecycle.BEFORE_START_EVENT);
}
try {
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.STARTING_PREP, null, false);
startInternal();
if (state.equals(LifecycleState.FAILED)) {
stop();
} else if (!state.equals(LifecycleState.STARTING)) {
invalidTransition(Lifecycle.AFTER_START_EVENT);
} else {
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.STARTED, null, false);
}
} catch (Throwable t) {
ExceptionUtils.handleThrowable(t);
setStateInternal(LifecycleState.FAILED, null, false);
throw new LifecycleException(sm.getString("lifecycleBase.startFail", toString()), t);
}
} |
可以看到，init()和start()方法里，调用了initInternal()方法、startInternal()方法和stop()方法，这三者最终会走子类的具体实现。
上面的StandardServer的初始化过程就是一个活生生的例子。在Catalina的load过程中，getServer().init()方法就是LifecycleBase中的init()方法，调用initInternal()时是走的StandardServer的实现，StandardServer的initInternal()中会调用StandardServer的init()方法，进行子容器的初始化。然后依次初始化。
看一下代码，了解一下StandardServer中的initInternal()实现。
/** * Invoke a pre-startup initialization. This is used to allow connectors
* to bind to restricted ports under Unix operating environments.
*/
@Overrideprotected void initInternal() throws LifecycleException {
super.initInternal();
// Register global String cache
// Note although the cache is global, if there are multiple Servers
// present in the JVM (may happen when embedding) then the same cache
// will be registered under multiple names
onameStringCache = register(new StringCache(), "type=StringCache");
// Register the MBeanFactory
MBeanFactory factory = new MBeanFactory();
factory.setContainer(this);
onameMBeanFactory = register(factory, "type=MBeanFactory");
// Register the naming resources
globalNamingResources.init();
// Populate the extension validator with JARs from common and shared
// class loaders
if (getCatalina() != null) {
ClassLoader cl = getCatalina().getParentClassLoader();
// Walk the class loader hierarchy. Stop at the system class loader.
// This will add the shared (if present) and common class loaders
while (cl != null && cl != ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()) {
if (cl instanceof URLClassLoader) {
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader) cl).getURLs();
for (URL url : urls) {
if (url.getProtocol().equals("file")) {
try {
File f = new File (url.toURI());
if (f.isFile() &&
f.getName().endsWith(".jar")) {
ExtensionValidator.addSystemResource(f);
}
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
// Ignore
} catch (IOException e) {
// Ignore
}
}
}
}
cl = cl.getParent();
}
}
// Initialize our defined Services
for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
services[i].init();
}
} |
再举一个具体的例子:
回到刚才的启动过程中，getServer().start()开启服务的方法，实际就是上面提到的LifecycleBase中的start()方法。其中，会调用org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer#initInternal方法，初始化Server并调用Service的init方法。org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer在其实现的startInternal() 中，开启naming resources和services，调用service的start方法，开启所有service，调用其service的startInternal()方法。
下面分别看一下StandardServer中的initInternal()和startInternal()的实现：
protected void startInternal() throws LifecycleException {
fireLifecycleEvent(CONFIGURE_START_EVENT, null);
setState(LifecycleState.STARTING);
globalNamingResources.start();
// Start our defined Services
synchronized (servicesLock) {
for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
services[i].start();
}
}
} |
这里的service，是org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService的实例。
总结一下启动的Tomcat启动的过程
在Catalina的load方法里，就已经调用了StandardServer里的init方法，一层一层初始化了globalNamingResources，StandardService--》StandardEngine，executors，MapperListener，Connector--》CoyoteAdapter，protocolHandler。至此就将tomcat的catalina中的组件、容器初始化完成。 接下来就是调用start方法一层一层开启，StandardServer的startInternal方法，按层次start：globalNamingResources，StandardService--》StandardEngine，executors，MapperListener，Connector--》StandardHost，StandardContext，protocolHandler。顺序基本同init过程。StandardEngine在start时，会init子容器，并调用子容器的start方法。子容器依次这样init、start，就开启了StandardHost和StandardContext。
