In depth understanding of SpringBoot auto assembly

Hello, I'm architecture Jun, an architect who can write code and recite poetry. Today, let's talk about in-depth understanding of SpringBoot's automatic assembly. I hope it can help you make progress!!!

SpringBoot's automatic assembly is not only the basis of unpacking and ready to use, but also the premise of microservice. In fact, it is not so mysterious. I have written the most basic implementation before. You can refer to it This article . The main topic this time is to see how it is implemented. We can grasp the context of automatic assembly through source code.

1.1. About @ SpringBootApplication

When writing the SpringBoot project, @ SpringBootApplication is the most common annotation. We can take a look at the source code:

This includes @ SpringBootConfiguration, @ EnableAutoConfiguration, @ ComponentScan. Since @ ComponentScan does not specify a scanning package, it scans the classes of the same level or all classes under the same level package by default. In addition, @ SpringBootConfiguration is a @ Configuration:

From this, we can infer that @ SpringBootApplication is equivalent to @ Configuration @ComponentScan @EnableAutoConfiguration

1.2,@EnableAutoConfiguration

Once this annotation is added, the automatic assembly function will be enabled. To put it simply, Spring will try to find all configured beans under your classpath and then assemble them. Of course, when assembling a Bean, it will be initialized according to several (Conditional) customization rules. Let's take a look at its source code:

 * <p>
 * When using {@link SpringBootApplication}, the auto-configuration of the context is
 * automatically enabled and adding this annotation has therefore no additional effect.
 * <p>
 * Auto-configuration tries to be as intelligent as possible and will back-away as you
 * define more of your own configuration. You can always manually {@link #exclude()} any
 * configuration that you never want to apply (use {@link #excludeName()} if you don't
 * have access to them). You can also exclude them via the
 * {@code spring.autoconfigure.exclude} property. Auto-configuration is always applied
 * after user-defined beans have been registered.
 * <p>
 * The package of the class that is annotated with {@code @EnableAutoConfiguration},
 * usually via {@code @SpringBootApplication}, has specific significance and is often used
 * as a 'default'. For example, it will be used when scanning for {@code @Entity} classes.
 * It is generally recommended that you place {@code @EnableAutoConfiguration} (if you're
 * not using {@code @SpringBootApplication}) in a root package so that all sub-packages
 * and classes can be searched.
 * <p>
 * Auto-configuration classes are regular Spring {@link Configuration} beans. They are
 * located using the {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} mechanism (keyed against this class).
 * Generally auto-configuration beans are {@link Conditional @Conditional} beans (most
 * often using {@link ConditionalOnClass @ConditionalOnClass} and
 * {@link ConditionalOnMissingBean @ConditionalOnMissingBean} annotations).

Although it instructs us to look at the enable AutoConfigurationImportSelector according to the instructions in the document comments. But this class is in springboot1 Version 5. X is outdated, so let's take a look at its parent class AutoConfigurationImportSelector:

    String[] selectImports(AnnotationMetadata importingClassMetadata);

}

View Code

This interface is mainly used to import Configuration items of @ Configuration, while DeferredImportSelector is used to postpone the import. It will not be executed until all @ Configuration items are processed.

Let's look back at the selectImport method of AutoConfigurationImportSelector:

@Override
    public String[] selectImports(AnnotationMetadata annotationMetadata) {
        if (!isEnabled(annotationMetadata)) {
            return NO_IMPORTS;
        }
        try {
            AutoConfigurationMetadata autoConfigurationMetadata = AutoConfigurationMetadataLoader
                    .loadMetadata(this.beanClassLoader);
            AnnotationAttributes attributes = getAttributes(annotationMetadata);
            List<String> configurations = getCandidateConfigurations(annotationMetadata,
                    attributes);
            configurations = removeDuplicates(configurations);
            configurations = sort(configurations, autoConfigurationMetadata);
            Set<String> exclusions = getExclusions(annotationMetadata, attributes);
            checkExcludedClasses(configurations, exclusions);
            configurations.removeAll(exclusions);
            configurations = filter(configurations, autoConfigurationMetadata);
            fireAutoConfigurationImportEvents(configurations, exclusions);
            return configurations.toArray(new String[configurations.size()]);
        }
        catch (IOException ex) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
        }
    }

At first, the method will judge whether to perform automatic assembly, and then start from meta-inf / spring-autoconfigure-metadata Properties read metadata and metadata related properties, and then call getCandidateConfigurations method:

/**
     * Return the auto-configuration class names that should be considered. By default
     * this method will load candidates using {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} with
     * {@link #getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass()}.
     * @param metadata the source metadata
     * @param attributes the {@link #getAttributes(AnnotationMetadata) annotation
     * attributes}
     * @return a list of candidate configurations
     */
    protected List<String> getCandidateConfigurations(AnnotationMetadata metadata,
            AnnotationAttributes attributes) {
        List<String> configurations = SpringFactoriesLoader.loadFactoryNames(
                getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass(), getBeanClassLoader());
        Assert.notEmpty(configurations,
                "No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories. If you "
                        + "are using a custom packaging, make sure that file is correct.");
        return configurations;
    }

    /**
     * Return the class used by {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} to load configuration
     * candidates.
     * @return the factory class
     */
    protected Class<?> getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass() {
        return EnableAutoConfiguration.class;
    }

Here we meet our old acquaintance -- spring factoryiesloader, which can read meta-inf / spring The configuration of EnableAutoConfiguration under factories is followed by exclusion and filtering to obtain the classes to be assembled. Finally, let all configurations in meta-inf / spring The AutoConfigurationImportListener under factories executes the AutoConfigurationImportEvent event event. The code is as follows:

private void fireAutoConfigurationImportEvents(List<String> configurations,
            Set<String> exclusions) {
        List<AutoConfigurationImportListener> listeners = getAutoConfigurationImportListeners();
        if (!listeners.isEmpty()) {
            AutoConfigurationImportEvent event = new AutoConfigurationImportEvent(this,
                    configurations, exclusions);
            for (AutoConfigurationImportListener listener : listeners) {
                invokeAwareMethods(listener);
                listener.onAutoConfigurationImportEvent(event);
            }
        }
    }

    protected List<AutoConfigurationImportListener> getAutoConfigurationImportListeners() {
        return SpringFactoriesLoader.loadFactories(AutoConfigurationImportListener.class,
                this.beanClassLoader);
    }

2, When to perform automatic assembly

In the previous link, we just need to finally determine which classes need to be assembled, and when to deal with these automatically assembled classes during SpringBoot? Let's briefly analyze:

2.1. refresh method of AbstractApplicationContext:

This method is commonplace. Please pay attention to this method:

// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
  invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);

Here we are dealing with beanfactory postprocessor. Let's take a look at the interface BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor:

    void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) throws BeansException;

This interface inherits beanfactoryprocessor.

2.2. ConfigurationClassPostProcessor class

This class mainly processes the @ Configuration annotation. It implements BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor, and indirectly implements BeanFactoryPostProcessor. The key codes are as follows:

@Override
    public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
        int factoryId = System.identityHashCode(beanFactory);
        if (this.factoriesPostProcessed.contains(factoryId)) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                    "postProcessBeanFactory already called on this post-processor against " + beanFactory);
        }
        this.factoriesPostProcessed.add(factoryId);
        if (!this.registriesPostProcessed.contains(factoryId)) {
            // BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor hook apparently not supported...
            // Simply call processConfigurationClasses lazily at this point then.
            processConfigBeanDefinitions((BeanDefinitionRegistry) beanFactory);
        }

        enhanceConfigurationClasses(beanFactory);
        beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new ImportAwareBeanPostProcessor(beanFactory));
    }

/**
     * Build and validate a configuration model based on the registry of
     * {@link Configuration} classes.
     */
    public void processConfigBeanDefinitions(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
        //..... Omit some codes

        // Parse each @Configuration class
        ConfigurationClassParser parser = new ConfigurationClassParser(
                this.metadataReaderFactory, this.problemReporter, this.environment,
                this.resourceLoader, this.componentScanBeanNameGenerator, registry);

        Set<BeanDefinitionHolder> candidates = new LinkedHashSet<BeanDefinitionHolder>(configCandidates);
        Set<ConfigurationClass> alreadyParsed = new HashSet<ConfigurationClass>(configCandidates.size());
        do {
            parser.parse(candidates);
            parser.validate();

            Set<ConfigurationClass> configClasses = new LinkedHashSet<ConfigurationClass>(parser.getConfigurationClasses());
            configClasses.removeAll(alreadyParsed);

            // Read the model and create bean definitions based on its content
            if (this.reader == null) {
                this.reader = new ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader(
                        registry, this.sourceExtractor, this.resourceLoader, this.environment,
                        this.importBeanNameGenerator, parser.getImportRegistry());
            }
            this.reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configClasses);
            alreadyParsed.addAll(configClasses);

            candidates.clear();
            if (registry.getBeanDefinitionCount() > candidateNames.length) {
                String[] newCandidateNames = registry.getBeanDefinitionNames();
                Set<String> oldCandidateNames = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(candidateNames));
                Set<String> alreadyParsedClasses = new HashSet<String>();
                for (ConfigurationClass configurationClass : alreadyParsed) {
                    alreadyParsedClasses.add(configurationClass.getMetadata().getClassName());
                }
                for (String candidateName : newCandidateNames) {
                    if (!oldCandidateNames.contains(candidateName)) {
                        BeanDefinition bd = registry.getBeanDefinition(candidateName);
                        if (ConfigurationClassUtils.checkConfigurationClassCandidate(bd, this.metadataReaderFactory) &&
                                !alreadyParsedClasses.contains(bd.getBeanClassName())) {
                            candidates.add(new BeanDefinitionHolder(bd, candidateName));
                        }
                    }
                }
                candidateNames = newCandidateNames;
            }
        }
        while (!candidates.isEmpty());
    // .... Omit some codes
    }    

In fact, the comments here are very clear. We can clearly see that the key class for parsing each @ ConfigurationClass is ConfigurationClassParser. Let's continue to take a look at the parse method of this class:

public void parse(Set<BeanDefinitionHolder> configCandidates) {
        this.deferredImportSelectors = new LinkedList<DeferredImportSelectorHolder>();

        for (BeanDefinitionHolder holder : configCandidates) {
            BeanDefinition bd = holder.getBeanDefinition();
            try {
                if (bd instanceof AnnotatedBeanDefinition) {
                    parse(((AnnotatedBeanDefinition) bd).getMetadata(), holder.getBeanName());
                }
                else if (bd instanceof AbstractBeanDefinition && ((AbstractBeanDefinition) bd).hasBeanClass()) {
                    parse(((AbstractBeanDefinition) bd).getBeanClass(), holder.getBeanName());
                }
                else {
                    parse(bd.getBeanClassName(), holder.getBeanName());
                }
            }
            catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) {
                throw ex;
            }
            catch (Throwable ex) {
                throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException(
                        "Failed to parse configuration class [" + bd.getBeanClassName() + "]", ex);
            }
        }

        processDeferredImportSelectors();
    }

Here, please pay attention to the processDeferredImportSelectors method in the last sentence. DeferredImportSelector will be processed here, so we will be combined with AutoConfigurationSelectImporter:

private void processDeferredImportSelectors() {
        List<DeferredImportSelectorHolder> deferredImports = this.deferredImportSelectors;
        this.deferredImportSelectors = null;
        Collections.sort(deferredImports, DEFERRED_IMPORT_COMPARATOR);

        for (DeferredImportSelectorHolder deferredImport : deferredImports) {
            ConfigurationClass configClass = deferredImport.getConfigurationClass();
            try {
                String[] imports = deferredImport.getImportSelector().selectImports(configClass.getMetadata());
                processImports(configClass, asSourceClass(configClass), asSourceClasses(imports), false);
            }
            catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) {
                throw ex;
            }
            catch (Throwable ex) {
                throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException(
                        "Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [" +
                        configClass.getMetadata().getClassName() + "]", ex);
            }
        }
    }

Please pay attention to this Code: String [] imports = deferredImport getImportSelector(). selectImports(configClass.getMetadata()); Here, the type of deferredImport is DeferredImportSelectorHolder:

private static class DeferredImportSelectorHolder {

        private final ConfigurationClass configurationClass;

        private final DeferredImportSelector importSelector;

        public DeferredImportSelectorHolder(ConfigurationClass configClass, DeferredImportSelector selector) {
            this.configurationClass = configClass;
            this.importSelector = selector;
        }

        public ConfigurationClass getConfigurationClass() {
            return this.configurationClass;
        }

        public DeferredImportSelector getImportSelector() {
            return this.importSelector;
        }
    }

A reference to DeferredImportSelector is held in this inner class, and all operations of automatic assembly will be performed so far

3, Summary

1) automatic assembly or spring factoriesloader is used to load meta-inf / spring All configured enableautoconflation in the factoires file will go through operations such as exclude and filter to finally determine the class to be assembled

2) the core of @ Configuration processing is ConfigurationClassPostProcessor, which implements beanfactoryprocessor. Therefore, when AbstractApplicationContext executes invokebeanfactoryprocessors (beanfactory) method in refresh method, automatic assembly will be executed
