在上一节里已经启动了一个HttpConnector线程,并且也启动了固定数量的HttpProcessor线程。HttpConnector用来等待http连接,得到http连接后交给其中的一个HttpProcessor线程来处理。接下里具体看一下HttpConnector是怎么得到连接得,以及HttpProcessor是怎么处理的。当启动了HttpConnector线程后(在上一节已经知道怎么启动了),便在它的run方法里面循环等待:
- public void run() {
- // Loop until we receive a shutdown command
- while (!stopped) {
- // Accept the next incoming connection from the server socket
- Socket socket = null;
- try {
- socket = serverSocket.accept();
- if (connectionTimeout > 0)
- socket.setSoTimeout(connectionTimeout);
- socket.setTcpNoDelay(tcpNoDelay);
- } catch (AccessControlException ace) {
- log("socket accept security exception", ace);
- continue;
- } catch (IOException e) {
- try {
- // If reopening fails, exit
- synchronized (threadSync) {
- if (started && !stopped)
- log("accept error: ", e);
- if (!stopped) {
- serverSocket.close();
- serverSocket = open();
- }
- }
-
- } catch (IOException ioe) {
- log("socket reopen, io problem: ", ioe);
- break;
- } catch (KeyStoreException kse) {
- log("socket reopen, keystore problem: ", kse);
- break;
- } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException nsae) {
- log("socket reopen, keystore algorithm problem: ", nsae);
- break;
- } catch (CertificateException ce) {
- log("socket reopen, certificate problem: ", ce);
- break;
- } catch (UnrecoverableKeyException uke) {
- log("socket reopen, unrecoverable key: ", uke);
- break;
- } catch (KeyManagementException kme) {
- log("socket reopen, key management problem: ", kme);
- break;
- }
-
- continue;
- }
-
- // Hand this socket off to an appropriate processor
- HttpProcessor processor = createProcessor();
- if (processor == null) {
- try {
- log(sm.getString("httpConnector.noProcessor"));
- socket.close();
- } catch (IOException e) {
- ;
- }
- continue;
- }
-
- processor.assign(socket);
-
- }
-
- // Notify the threadStop() method that we have shut ourselves down
-
- synchronized (threadSync) {
- threadSync.notifyAll();
- }
-
- }
这里很关键的就是socket = serverSocket.accept();和processor.assign(socket); 在循环里面内,serverSocket.accept();负责接收http请求然后赋值给socket,最后交给其中一个processor处理。这里processor并不是等到需要的时候再实例化,而是在HttpConnector初始化的时候已经有了若干个processor,在httpConnector里有这样一个声明:- private Stack processors = new Stack();
表明httpConnector里面持有一个包含HttpProcessor对象的栈,需要的时候拿出来就是了。看一下createProcessor函数就能比较明白了:- private HttpProcessor createProcessor() {
- synchronized (processors) {
- if (processors.size() > 0) {
- return ((HttpProcessor) processors.pop()); //从processors栈中弹出一个processor
- }
- if ((maxProcessors > 0) && (curProcessors < maxProcessors)) {
- return (newProcessor());
- } else {
- if (maxProcessors < 0) {
- return (newProcessor());
- } else {
- return (null);
- }
- }
- }
-
- }
接下来由processor.assign(socket); 记住这个方法是异步的,不需要等待HttpProcessor来处理完成,所以HttpConnector才能不间断的传入Http请求,在HttpProcessor里有两个方法比较重要,这两个方法协调处理了由HttpConnector传来的socket:
- synchronized void assign(Socket socket) {
-
- // Wait for the Processor to get the previous Socket
- while (available) {
- try {
- wait();
- } catch (InterruptedException e) {
- }
- }
-
- // Store the newly available Socket and notify our thread
- this.socket = socket;
- available = true;
- notifyAll();
-
- if ((debug >= 1) && (socket != null))
- log(" An incoming request is being assigned");
-
- }
-
-
- private synchronized Socket await() {
-
- // Wait for the Connector to provide a new Socket
- while (!available) {
- try {
- wait();
- } catch (InterruptedException e) {
- }
- }
-
- // Notify the Connector that we have received this Socket
- Socket socket = this.socket;
- available = false;
- notifyAll();
-
- if ((debug >= 1) && (socket != null))
- log(" The incoming request has been awaited");
-
- return (socket);
-
- }
看一下HttpProcessor的run方法:
- public void run() {
-
- // Process requests until we receive a shutdown signal
- while (!stopped) {
-
- // Wait for the next socket to be assigned
- Socket socket = await();
- if (socket == null)
- continue;
-
- // Process the request from this socket
- try {
- process(socket);
- } catch (Throwable t) {
- log("process.invoke", t);
- }
-
- // Finish up this request
- connector.recycle(this);
-
- }
-
- // Tell threadStop() we have shut ourselves down successfully
- synchronized (threadSync) {
- threadSync.notifyAll();
- }
-
- }
很明显,在它的run方法一开始便是调用上面的await方法来等待(因为一开始available变量为false),所以HttpProcessor会一直阻塞,直到有线程来唤醒它。当从HttpConnector中调用processor.assign(socket),会把socket传给此HttpProcessor对象,并设置available为true,调用notifyAll()唤醒该processor线程以处理socket。同时,在await方法中又把available设置成false,因此又回到初始状态,即可以重新接受socket。这里处理socket的方法是process(socket),主要作用有两点,1:解析这个socket,即解析http请求,包括请求方法,请求协议等,以填充request,response对象(是不是很熟悉,在servlet和jsp开发经常用到的request,response对象就是从这里来的)。2:传入request,response对象给和HttpConnector绑定的容器,让容器来调用invoke方法进行处理。process方法主要的代码如下:
- private void process(Socket socket) {
- input = new SocketInputStream(socket.getInputStream(),
- connector.getBufferSize());
- //解析一下连接的地址,端口什么的
- parseConnection(socket);
- //解析请求头的第一行,即:方法,协议,uri
- parseRequest(input, output);
- if (!request.getRequest().getProtocol()
- .startsWith("HTTP/0"))
- parseHeaders(input);//解析http协议的头部
- ..............................................
- connector.getContainer().invoke(request, response);
- .............................................
- }
在那些parse××方法里面会对request,response对象进行初始化,然后调用容器的invoke方法进行处理,至此,http请求过来的连接已经完美的转交给容器处理,容器剩下的问题就是要最终转交给哪个servlet或者jsp的问题。前面我们知道,一个连接会跟一个容器相连,一个级别大的容器会有一个或者多个子容器,最小的容器是Wrapper,对应一个servlet,在这里我们只要知道请求的路径决定了最终会选择哪个wrapper,wrapper最终会调用servlet的。至少一开始提出来的问题已经明白了。这里又有一个问题,在调用invoke方法是有这样的connector.getContainer的代码,即通过连接器得到跟它关联的容器,这个连接器是什么时候跟容器关联上的?详见下篇:Tomcat源码分析(三)--连接器是如何与容器关联的?
