今天晚上花了些时间debug了下tomcat,注意观察了下tomcat内部过滤器的实现,其实tomcat内部过滤器采用了责任链的设计模式,
(其实struts2拦截器那一块采用了相似的设计模式)，以下是个人对源码的解读，
ApplicationFilterChain详解
首先是对该类的定义的介绍
/**
* Implementation of <code>javax.servlet.FilterChain</code> used to manage
* the execution of a set of filters for a particular request. When the
* set of defined filters has all been executed, the next call to
* <code>doFilter()</code> will execute the servlet's <code>service()</code>
* method itself.
*
* @author Craig R. McClanahan
* @version $Id: ApplicationFilterChain.java 1078022 2011-03-04 15:52:01Z markt $
*/
final class ApplicationFilterChain implements FilterChain, CometFilterChain
第一个疑问是该过滤器链里面的过滤器源于哪里？
答案是该类里面包含了一个ApplicationFilterConfig对象，而该对象则是个filter容器
/**
* Filters.
*/
private ApplicationFilterConfig[] filters =
new ApplicationFilterConfig[0];
以下是ApplicationFilterConfig类的声明
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterConfig
Implementation of a javax.servlet.FilterConfig useful in managing the filter instances instantiated when a web application is first started.
当web容器启动是ApplicationFilterConfig自动实例化，它会从该web工程的web.xml文件中读取配置的filter信息，然后装进该容器
下个疑问是它如何执行该过滤器容器里面的filter呢?
答案是通过pos它来标识当前ApplicationFilterChain（当前过滤器链）执行到哪个过滤器
/**
* The int which is used to maintain the current position
* in the filter chain.
*/
private int pos = 0;
通过n来记录当前过滤器链里面拥有的过滤器数目
/**
* The int which gives the current number of filters in the chain.
*/
private int n = 0;
通过addFilter方法向容器中添加一个filter(参数即为容器初始化生成的filterConfig对象)
/**
* Add a filter to the set of filters that will be executed in this chain.
*
* @param filterConfig The FilterConfig for the servlet to be executed
*/
void addFilter(ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig)
ApplicationFilterChain采用责任链设计模式达到对不同过滤器的执行
首先ApplicationFilterChain 会调用它重写FilterChain的doFilter方法，然后doFilter里面会调用
internalDoFilter(request,response)方法;该方法使过滤器容器拿到每个过滤器，然后调用它们重写Filter接口里面的dofilter方法
以下是ApplicationFilterChain 里面重写FilterChain里面的doFilter方法的描述
/**
* Invoke the next filter in this chain, passing the specified request
* and response. If there are no more filters in this chain, invoke
* the <code>service()</code> method of the servlet itself.
*
* @param request The servlet request we are processing
* @param response The servlet response we are creating
*
* @exception IOException if an input/output error occurs
* @exception ServletException if a servlet exception occurs
*/
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
以下是internalDoFilter的部分代码
// Call the next filter if there is one
if (pos < n) {
//先拿到下个过滤器，将指针向下移动一位
ApplicationFilterConfig filterConfig = filters[pos++];
Filter filter = null;
try {
//获取当前指向的filter实例
filter = filterConfig.getFilter();
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.BEFORE_FILTER_EVENT,
filter, request, response);
if (request.isAsyncSupported() && "false".equalsIgnoreCase(
filterConfig.getFilterDef().getAsyncSupported())) {
request.setAttribute(Globals.ASYNC_SUPPORTED_ATTR,
Boolean.FALSE);
}
if( Globals.IS_SECURITY_ENABLED ) {
final ServletRequest req = request;
final ServletResponse res = response;
Principal principal =
((HttpServletRequest) req).getUserPrincipal();
Object[] args = new Object[]{req, res, this};
SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege
("doFilter", filter, classType, args, principal);
} else {
//filter调用doFilter(request, response, this)方法
//ApplicationFilterChain里面的filter都实现了filter //接口
filter.doFilter(request, response, this);
}
以下是Filter接口doFilter定义如下
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain)
过滤器链里面的filter在调用dofilter完成后，会继续调用chain.doFilter(request,response)方法，而这个chain其实就是applicationfilterchain,所以调用过程又回到了上面调用dofilter和调用internalDoFilter方法，这样执行直到里面的过滤器全部执行
当filte都调用完成后，它就会初始化相应的servlet，（例如jsp资源，默认它会开启一个 JspServlet对象）
// We fell off the end of the chain -- call the servlet instance
try {
if (ApplicationDispatcher.WRAP_SAME_OBJECT) {
lastServicedRequest.set(request);
lastServicedResponse.set(response);
}
support.fireInstanceEvent(InstanceEvent.BEFORE_SERVICE_EVENT,
servlet, request, response);
举个例子
假如访问的是个jsp，首先开启一个 JspServlet对象，然后该JspServlet对象会调用它的service方法
以下是个JspServlet的定义以及service方法的描述
public class JspServlet extends HttpServlet implements PeriodicEventListener
public void service (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
//jspFile may be configured as an init-param for this servlet instance //该jspUri代表访问jsp的相对路径
String jspUri = jspFile;
拿到该路径后它就会去判断该jsp是否已经预编译过
boolean precompile = preCompile(request);
serviceJspFile(request, response, jspUri, null, precompile);
如果已经编译则直接调用该jsp对应的servlet的_jspService方法
否则先编译在调用
假如是个html页面的访问则直接调用DefaultServlet做相应的处理
简单的分析了下，作为一个学习笔记吧
