servlet和Spring的DispatcherServlet详解

Servlet是什么

1. Servlet是服务器端运行的一个程序，是一个被编译好的Java类。它不是框架等。

2. Web容器的启动，需要依赖Servlet。当web服务器开始执行时，servlet类就被初始化

3. 当用户通过浏览器访问的时候，会输入URI，这个时候，web服务器就通过Servlet来分发请求执行不同的内容。

Servlet是有一个Jar包，里面包含了一些Servlet的相关设计和细节。

Spring的DispatcherServlet

Spring主要通过DispatcherServlet实现了Servlet。DispatcherServlet最上层也是继承的是HttpServlet这个类。

@Override
	protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			String requestUri = urlPathHelper.getRequestUri(request);
			logger.debug("DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "' processing " + request.getMethod() +
					" request for [" + requestUri + "]");
		}

		// Keep a snapshot of the request attributes in case of an include,
		// to be able to restore the original attributes after the include.
		Map<String, Object> attributesSnapshot = null;
		if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
			logger.debug("Taking snapshot of request attributes before include");
			attributesSnapshot = new HashMap<String, Object>();
			Enumeration<?> attrNames = request.getAttributeNames();
			while (attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {
				String attrName = (String) attrNames.nextElement();
				if (this.cleanupAfterInclude || attrName.startsWith("org.springframework.web.servlet")) {
					attributesSnapshot.put(attrName, request.getAttribute(attrName));
				}
			}
		}

		// Make framework objects available to handlers and view objects.
		request.setAttribute(WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, getWebApplicationContext());
		request.setAttribute(LOCALE_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.localeResolver);
		request.setAttribute(THEME_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.themeResolver);
		request.setAttribute(THEME_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE, getThemeSource());

		FlashMap inputFlashMap = this.flashMapManager.retrieveAndUpdate(request, response);
		if (inputFlashMap != null) {
			request.setAttribute(INPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, Collections.unmodifiableMap(inputFlashMap));
		}
		request.setAttribute(OUTPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, new FlashMap());
		request.setAttribute(FLASH_MAP_MANAGER_ATTRIBUTE, this.flashMapManager);

		try {
			doDispatch(request, response); //这边最终也是调用了doDispatch方法，该方法主要用来处理SPring框架的具体业务分发逻辑。
		}
		finally {
			// Restore the original attribute snapshot, in case of an include.
			if (attributesSnapshot != null) {
				restoreAttributesAfterInclude(request, attributesSnapshot);
			}
		}
	}
        
        //Spring框架最终的分发都是通过该方法的
	protected void doDispatch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		HttpServletRequest processedRequest = request;
		HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler = null;
		int interceptorIndex = -1;

		try {

                // Process last-modified header, if supported by the handler.

				boolean isGet = "GET".equals(method);
				if (isGet || "HEAD".equals(method)) {
					long lastModified = ha.getLastModified(request, mappedHandler.getHandler());

						String requestUri = urlPathHelper.getRequestUri(request);
						logger.debug("Last-Modified value for [" + requestUri + "] is: " + lastModified);
					}
					if (new ServletWebRequest(request, response).checkNotModified(lastModified) && isGet) {
						return;
					}
				}

				// 这里是处理前置拦截器
				HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors = mappedHandler.getInterceptors();

				mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());

				// Do we need view name translation?
				if (mv != null && !mv.hasView()) {
					mv.setViewName(getDefaultViewName(request));
				}

                                //处理后置拦截器
				if (interceptors != null) {
					for (int i = interceptors.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
						HandlerInterceptor interceptor = interceptors[i];
						interceptor.postHandle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler(), mv);
					}
				}
			}
			catch (ModelAndViewDefiningException ex) {
				logger.debug("ModelAndViewDefiningException encountered", ex);
				mv = ex.getModelAndView();
			}
			catch (Exception ex) {
				Object handler = (mappedHandler != null ? mappedHandler.getHandler() : null);

			if (mv != null && !mv.wasCleared()) {

			else {
