Java注解（Annotation）原理详解（转）

add by zhj: 注解在Java内部其实就是一个接口，对于每个注解都会生成一个动态代理类，准确的说只有通过反射获取到注解时，Java才会生成这个动态代理类，对于每个使用的地方，会使用化该动态代理类。

文中其实不仅提到了注解的实现方式，还提到了如何将动态代理类class输出到.class文件，利用Idea的自动反编译功能，就能看到Java源码，这个太有帮助了。看到原文的评论中，有人提到

“memberValues这个Map对象是怎么生成的，继续调试通过方法调用栈找到memberValues的本源 ，这句话何解”，memberValues是AnnotationInvocationHandler的属性，是在调用AnnotationInvocationHandler的构造方法

时以参数形式传入的，在这个构造方法中打断点就可以看到了，单独跟踪可以找到实例化AnnotationInvocationHandler的地方是在AnnotationParser类中，就看到memberValues是如何生成的了，亲测。

序言
注解在Java中到底是什么样的东西？具体是如何实现的？
本文将一层一层深入探究注解的实现原理。为了尽可能的将分析的过程呈现出来，所以文章包含了大量的截图和代码。（ps：如果图片看不清楚，请将网页放大来看，chrome可以通过ctrl+鼠标滚轮放大）

前期准备
知识方面
开始分析前，提醒一下，下面的分析必须具备以下知识
1. 知道如何自定义注解
2. 理解Java动态代理机制
3. 了解Java常量池
如果不具备以上的知识，会看得云里雾里的。上面提到的知识点谷歌百度都可以找到许多相关的文章。

工具方面
Intellij 2016

开始分析

首先写一个简单的自定义注解小程序。

先自定义一个运行时注解

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface HelloAnnotation {

    String say() default "Hi";

}

然后在Main函数中解析注解

@HelloAnnotation(say = "Do it!")
public class TestMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HelloAnnotation annotation = TestMain.class.getAnnotation(HelloAnnotation.class);//获取TestMain类上的注解对象
        System.out.println(annotation.say());//调用注解对象的say方法，并打印到控制台
    }
}

运行程序，输出结果如下：

Do it!

下面将围绕上面的代码来研究Java注解（Annotation）的实现原理

---

1. 注解对象具体是什么？

首先，我们先在main函数第一行断点，看看HelloAnnotation具体是什么类的对象

可以看到HelloAnnotation注解的实例是jvm生成的动态代理类的对象。

这个运行时生成的动态代理对象是可以导出到文件的，方法有两种

在代码中加入System.setProperty("sun.misc.ProxyGenerator.saveGeneratedFiles", "true");
在运行时加入jvm 参数 -Dsun.misc.ProxyGenerator.saveGeneratedFiles=true
这里使用第一种，

 然后运行程序。

可以看到，已经导出了运行时生成的代理类。↑

HelloAnnotation的动态代理类是$Proxy1.class，Intellij自带了反编译工具，直接双击打开，得到如下的Java代码

package com.sun.proxy;

import com.kevin.java.annotation.runtimeAnnotation.HelloAnnotation;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.Proxy;
import java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException;

public final class $Proxy1 extends Proxy implements HelloAnnotation {
    private static Method m1;
    private static Method m2;
    private static Method m4;
    private static Method m3;
    private static Method m0;

    public $Proxy1(InvocationHandler var1) throws  {
        super(var1);
    }

    public final boolean equals(Object var1) throws  {
        try {
            return ((Boolean)super.h.invoke(this, m1, new Object[]{var1})).booleanValue();
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var3) {
            throw var3;
        } catch (Throwable var4) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var4);
        }
    }

    public final String toString() throws  {
        try {
            return (String)super.h.invoke(this, m2, (Object[])null);
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var2) {
            throw var2;
        } catch (Throwable var3) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var3);
        }
    }

    public final Class annotationType() throws  {
        try {
            return (Class)super.h.invoke(this, m4, (Object[])null);
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var2) {
            throw var2;
        } catch (Throwable var3) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var3);
        }
    }

    public final String say() throws  {
        try {
            return (String)super.h.invoke(this, m3, (Object[])null);
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var2) {
            throw var2;
        } catch (Throwable var3) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var3);
        }
    }

    public final int hashCode() throws  {
        try {
            return ((Integer)super.h.invoke(this, m0, (Object[])null)).intValue();
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var2) {
            throw var2;
        } catch (Throwable var3) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var3);
        }
    }

    static {
        try {
            m1 = Class.forName("java.lang.Object").getMethod("equals", new Class[]{Class.forName("java.lang.Object")});
            m2 = Class.forName("java.lang.Object").getMethod("toString", new Class[0]);
            m4 = Class.forName("com.kevin.java.annotation.runtimeAnnotation.HelloAnnotation").getMethod("annotationType", new Class[0]);
            m3 = Class.forName("com.kevin.java.annotation.runtimeAnnotation.HelloAnnotation").getMethod("say", new Class[0]);
            m0 = Class.forName("java.lang.Object").getMethod("hashCode", new Class[0]);
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException var2) {
            throw new NoSuchMethodError(var2.getMessage());
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException var3) {
            throw new NoClassDefFoundError(var3.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

从第14行我们可以看到，我们自定义的注解HelloAnnotation是一个接口，而$Proxy1这个Java生成的动态代理类就是它的实现类

我们接着看一下HelloAnnotation的字节码

 $ javap -verbose HelloAnnotation

SourceFile: "HelloAnnotation.java"
RuntimeVisibleAnnotations:
  0: #11(#12=[e#13.#14])
  1: #15(#12=e#16.#17)

看到第7行。很明显，HelloAnnotation就是继承了Annotation的接口。再看第10行，flag字段中，我们可以看到，有个ACC_ANNOTATION标记，说明是一个注解，所以注解本质是一个继承了Annotation的特殊接口。

而Annotation接口声明了以下方法。

package java.lang.annotation;

public interface Annotation {
    boolean equals(Object var1);

    int hashCode();

    String toString();

    Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType();
}

这些方法，已经被$Proxy1实现了。（这就是动态代理的机制）

小结
现在我们知道了HelloAnnotation注解（接口）是一个继承了Annotation接口的特殊接口，而我们通过反射获取注解时，返回的是Java运行时生成的动态代理对象$Proxy1，该类就是HelloAnnotation注解（接口）的具体实现类。

2. 动态代理类$Proxy1是如何处理annotation.say()方法的调用？

无论是否了解动态代理，这里只需要明确一点，动态代理方法的调用最终会传递给绑定的InvocationHandler实例的invoke方法处理。我们可以看看源码

$Proxy1.java

public final class $Proxy1 extends Proxy implements HelloAnnotation {
   .....
   public final String say() throws  {
        try {
            return (String)super.h.invoke(this, m3, (Object[])null);
        } catch (RuntimeException | Error var2) {
            throw var2;
        } catch (Throwable var3) {
            throw new UndeclaredThrowableException(var3);
        }
    }
    ....
}

Proxy.java

public class Proxy implements java.io.Serializable {

    /**
     * the invocation handler for this proxy instance.
     * @serial
     */
    protected InvocationHandler h;

从上面不难看出，say方法最终会执行(String)super.h.invoke(this, m3, (Object[])null);，而这其中的h对象类型就是InvocationHandler接口的某个实现类

断点调试，看看InvocationHandler具体实现类是哪个。

可以看到h对象是AnnotationInvocationHandler的实例。让我们来看看该实现类的invoke方法。

class AnnotationInvocationHandler implements InvocationHandler, Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 6182022883658399397L;
    private final Class<? extends Annotation> type;
    private final Map<String, Object> memberValues;
    private transient volatile Method[] memberMethods = null;

    AnnotationInvocationHandler(Class<? extends Annotation> var1, Map<String, Object> var2) {
        Class[] var3 = var1.getInterfaces();
        if(var1.isAnnotation() && var3.length == 1 && var3[0] == Annotation.class) {
            this.type = var1;
            this.memberValues = var2;
        } else {
            throw new AnnotationFormatError("Attempt to create proxy for a non-annotation type.");
        }
    }

    public Object invoke(Object var1, Method var2, Object[] var3) {
        String var4 = var2.getName();
        Class[] var5 = var2.getParameterTypes();
        if(var4.equals("equals") && var5.length == 1 && var5[0] == Object.class) {
            return this.equalsImpl(var3[0]);
        } else if(var5.length != 0) {
            throw new AssertionError("Too many parameters for an annotation method");
        } else {
            byte var7 = -1;
            switch(var4.hashCode()) {
            case -1776922004:
                if(var4.equals("toString")) {
                    var7 = 0;
                }
                break;
            case 147696667:
                if(var4.equals("hashCode")) {
                    var7 = 1;
                }
                break;
            case 1444986633:
                if(var4.equals("annotationType")) {
                    var7 = 2;
                }
            }

            switch(var7) {
            case 0:
                return this.toStringImpl();
            case 1:
                return Integer.valueOf(this.hashCodeImpl());
            case 2:
                return this.type;
            default:
                Object var6 = this.memberValues.get(var4);
                if(var6 == null) {
                    throw new IncompleteAnnotationException(this.type, var4);
                } else if(var6 instanceof ExceptionProxy) {
                    throw ((ExceptionProxy)var6).generateException();
                } else {
                    if(var6.getClass().isArray() && Array.getLength(var6) != 0) {
                        var6 = this.cloneArray(var6);
                    }

                    return var6;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    .......
}

我们直接从invoke方法第一行开始单步调试，看看invoke方法是如何处理我们annotation.say()方法的调用的。

这里再贴一次测试代码，不然就得翻到前面了

@HelloAnnotation(say = "Do it!")
public class TestMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HelloAnnotation annotation = TestMain.class.getAnnotation(HelloAnnotation.class);
        System.out.println(annotation.say());
    }
}

可以看到，say方法的返回值是从一个Map中获取到的。这个map以key（注解方法名）—value（注解方法对应的值）存储TestMain类上的注解

那memberValues这个Map对象是怎么生成的，继续调试
通过方法调用栈找到memberValues的本源

 我们继续跟进parseMemberValue（）方法

 在parseMemberValue（）中会调用parseConst方法，继续跟进到parseConst方法

 可以看到，memberValues是通过常量池获取到，return var2.getUTF8At(var3);中的var3就是常量池中的序号。继续执行返回到parseMemberValue（）方法

可以看到获取的就是我们定义在TestMain类上注解的say的值——“Do it！”

这里可以通过javap -verbose TestMain查看TestMain字节码中的常量池

  0: #24(#28=s#29)

仔细看第40行#29 = Utf8 Do it!，可以看到#29与var3的29对应（也就常量池的索引），对应的值就是Do it!。

以上就是say方法调用的细节。

3. 总结

注解本质是一个继承了Annotation的特殊接口，其具体实现类是Java运行时生成的动态代理类。通过代理对象调用自定义注解（接口）的方法，会最终调用AnnotationInvocationHandler的invoke方法。该方法会从memberValues这个Map中索引出对应的值。而memberValues的来源是Java常量池。
