(转载)Spring的refresh()方法相关异常

如果是经常使用Spring，特别有自己新建ApplicationContext对象的经历的人，肯定见过这么几条异常消息：
1.LifecycleProcessor not initialized - call 'refresh' before invoking lifecycle methods via the context: ......
2.BeanFactory not initialized or already closed - call 'refresh' before accessing beans via the ApplicationContext
3.ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: ......

第一条消息是说LifecycleProcessor对象没有初始化，在调用context的生命周期方法之前必须调用'refresh'方法
第二条消息是说BeanFactory对象没有初始化或已经关闭了，使用ApplicationContext获取Bean之前必须调用'refresh'方法
第三条消息是说ApplicationEventMulticaster对象没有初始化，在context广播事件之前必须调用'refresh'方法

这几条异常消息都与refresh方法有关，那抛出这些异常的原因到底是什么，为什么在这么多情况下一定要先调用refresh方法(定义在AbstractApplicationContext类中)，在此这前我们先看看refresh方法中又干了些什么？

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52

public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {     synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {         //刷新之前的准备工作，包括设置启动时间，是否激活标识位，初始化属性源(property source)配置         prepareRefresh();           //由子类去刷新BeanFactory(如果还没创建则创建)，并将BeanFactory返回         ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();           //准备BeanFactory以供ApplicationContext使用         prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);           try {             //子类可通过格式此方法来对BeanFactory进行修改             postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);               //实例化并调用所有注册的BeanFactoryPostProcessor对象             invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);               //实例化并调用所有注册的BeanPostProcessor对象             registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);               //初始化MessageSource             initMessageSource();               //初始化事件广播器             initApplicationEventMulticaster();               //子类覆盖此方法在刷新过程做额外工作             onRefresh();               //注册应用监听器ApplicationListener             registerListeners();               //实例化所有non-lazy-init bean             finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);               //刷新完成工作，包括初始化LifecycleProcessor，发布刷新完成事件等             finishRefresh();         }           catch (BeansException ex) {             // Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.             destroyBeans();               // Reset 'active' flag.             cancelRefresh(ex);               // Propagate exception to caller.             throw ex;         }     } }

与此三条异常消息相关的方法分别为：finishRefresh();obtainFreshBeanFactory();initApplicationEventMulticaster();

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

protected void finishRefresh() {     // //初始化LifecycleProcessor     initLifecycleProcessor();       // Propagate refresh to lifecycle processor first.     getLifecycleProcessor().onRefresh();       // Publish the final event.     publishEvent(new ContextRefreshedEvent(this));       // Participate in LiveBeansView MBean, if active.     LiveBeansView.registerApplicationContext(this); }

如果没有调用finishRefresh方法，则lifecycleProcessor成员为null。

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

protected ConfigurableListableBeanFactory obtainFreshBeanFactory() {     refreshBeanFactory();//刷新BeanFactory,如果beanFactory为null，则创建     ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = getBeanFactory();     if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {         logger.debug("Bean factory for " + getDisplayName() + ": " + beanFactory);     }     return beanFactory; }

refreshBeanFactory()为一抽象方法，真正实现在AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext类中：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

@Override protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {     if (hasBeanFactory()) {//如果beanFactory已经不为null，则销毁beanFactory中的Bean后自行关闭         destroyBeans();         closeBeanFactory();     }     try {         DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();//创建beanFactory         beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());         customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);         loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);         synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {             this.beanFactory = beanFactory;//对beanFactory成员进行赋值         }     }     catch (IOException ex) {         throw new ApplicationContextException("I/O error parsing bean definition source for " + getDisplayName(), ex);     } }

如果没有调用obtainFreshBeanFactory()方法则beanFactory成员为null。

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

protected void initApplicationEventMulticaster() {     ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = getBeanFactory();     if (beanFactory.containsLocalBean(APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME)) {         this.applicationEventMulticaster =                 beanFactory.getBean(APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME, ApplicationEventMulticaster.class);         if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {             logger.debug("Using ApplicationEventMulticaster [" + this.applicationEventMulticaster + "]");         }     }     else {         this.applicationEventMulticaster = new SimpleApplicationEventMulticaster(beanFactory);         beanFactory.registerSingleton(APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME, this.applicationEventMulticaster);         if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {             logger.debug("Unable to locate ApplicationEventMulticaster with name '" +                     APPLICATION_EVENT_MULTICASTER_BEAN_NAME +                     "': using default [" + this.applicationEventMulticaster + "]");         }     } }

而这三个方法调用都在refresh()方法中，由上面的分析可知，如果没有调用refresh方法，则上下文中的lifecycleProcessor，beanFactory，applicationEventMulticaster成员都会为null。至此可以来详细分析这三条异常消息的缘由了。
下面是针对上面三条异常消息的三段测试代码，顺序相对应：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

1. public static void main(String[] args) {     ClassPathXmlApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext();     applicationContext.setConfigLocation("application-context.xml");     applicationContext.start();     applicationContext.close(); } 2. public static void main(String[] args) {     ClassPathXmlApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext();     applicationContext.setConfigLocation("application-context.xml");     applicationContext.getBean("xtayfjpk");     applicationContext.close(); } 3. public static void main(String[] args) {     GenericApplicationContext parent = new GenericApplicationContext();     AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();     context.setParent(parent);     context.refresh();     context.start();     context.close(); }

对于第一条异常消息，异常堆栈出错在applicationContext.start();下面是start()方法源码：

?

1 2 3 4

public void start() {     getLifecycleProcessor().start();     publishEvent(new ContextStartedEvent(this)); }

可以看到start()方法中要先获取lifecycleProcessor对象，而默认构造方法中并没用调用refresh方法，所以lifecycleProcessor为null，故而在getLifecycleProcessor()方法中抛出了此异常消息。这其中提到了生命周期方法，其实就是定义在org.springframework.context.Lifecycle接口中的start(), stop(), isRunning()三个方法，如果是刚开始学习Spring的话，创建ClassPathXmlApplicationContext对象时应该是这样的：ClassPathXmlApplicationContext applicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("application-context.xml");这样直接调用start()方法却又不会出现异常，这是为什么呢？这是因为ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String configLocation)这个构造方法最终调用的是：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String[] configLocations, boolean refresh, ApplicationContext parent) throws BeansException {     super(parent);     setConfigLocations(configLocations);     if (refresh) {//refresh传递值为true，这样就自动调用了refresh方法进行了刷新         refresh();     } }

第二条异常消息，异常堆栈出错在applicationContext.getBean("xtayfjpk")，applicationContext.getBean()方法调用的是上下文中beanFactory的getBean()方法实现的，获取BeanFactory对象的代码在其基类ConfigurableListableBeanFactory中的getBeanFactory()方法中：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

@Override public final ConfigurableListableBeanFactory getBeanFactory() {     synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {         if (this.beanFactory == null) {             throw new IllegalStateException("BeanFactory not initialized or already closed - " +                     "call 'refresh' before accessing beans via the ApplicationContext");         }         return this.beanFactory;     } }

由于ClassPathXmlApplicationContext的默认构造方法没有调用refresh()方法，所以beanFactory为null，因此抛出异常。

第三条异常消息，异常堆栈出错在context.refresh()，但是如果没有设置父上下文的话context.setParent(parent)，例子代码是不会出现异常的。这是因为在refresh方法中的finishRefresh()方法调用了publishEvent方法：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

public void publishEvent(ApplicationEvent event) {     Assert.notNull(event, "Event must not be null");     if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {         logger.trace("Publishing event in " + getDisplayName() + ": " + event);     }     getApplicationEventMulticaster().multicastEvent(event);     if (this.parent != null) {         this.parent.publishEvent(event);     } }

从上面可以看到：如果父上下文不为null，则还需要调用父容器的pushlishEvent方法，而且在该方法中调用了getApplicationEventMulticaster()方法以获取一个事件广播器，问题就出现在这里：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

private ApplicationEventMulticaster getApplicationEventMulticaster() throws IllegalStateException {     if (this.applicationEventMulticaster == null) {//如果为null则抛异常         throw new IllegalStateException("ApplicationEventMulticaster not initialized - " +                 "call 'refresh' before multicasting events via the context: " + this);     }     return this.applicationEventMulticaster; }

而applicationEventMulticaster就是在refresh方法中的initApplicationEventMulticaster方法在实例化的，则于父上下文没有调用过refresh方法所以父上下文的applicationEventMulticaster成员为null，因此抛出异常。

综上所述，其实这三条异常消息的根本原因只有一个，就是当一个上下文对象创建后没有调用refresh()方法。在Spring中ApplicationContext实现类有很多，有些实现类在创建的过程中自动调用了refresh()方法，而有些又没有，如果没有则需要自己手动调用refresh()方法。一般说来实现WebApplicationContext接口的实现类以及使用默认构造方法创建上下文对象时不会自动refresh()方法，其它情况则会自动调用。
