Spring 中context.start作用

我们经常会看到 如下代码

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configPath.split("[,\\s]+"));
context.start();

其实该context.start()的作用就是初始话配置文件中的bean对象

    //---------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Implementation of Lifecycle interface
    //---------------------------------------------------------------------

    public void start() {
        Map lifecycleBeans = getLifecycleBeans();
        for (Iterator it = new LinkedHashSet(lifecycleBeans.keySet()).iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
            String beanName = (String) it.next();
            doStart(lifecycleBeans, beanName);
        }
        publishEvent(new ContextStartedEvent(this));
    }

    /**
     * Start the specified bean as part of the given set of Lifecycle beans,
     * making sure that any beans that it depends on are started first.
     * @param lifecycleBeans Map with bean name as key and Lifecycle instance as value
     * @param beanName the name of the bean to start
     */
    private void doStart(Map lifecycleBeans, String beanName) {
        Lifecycle bean = (Lifecycle) lifecycleBeans.get(beanName);
        if (bean != null) {
            String[] dependenciesForBean = getBeanFactory().getDependenciesForBean(beanName); ／／找到依赖的类
            for (int i = 0; i < dependenciesForBean.length; i++) {
                doStart(lifecycleBeans, dependenciesForBean[i]);//递归调用找到依赖的类
            }
            if (!bean.isRunning()) {
                bean.start();
            }
            lifecycleBeans.remove(beanName);
        }
    }
