Tomcat源码分析(七)--单一启动/关闭机制(生命周期)
在前面的大部分文章都是讲连接器和容器的，以后的内容会偏向写一些Tomcat的其他组件以及一些细节的东西。
Tomcat有很多组件，要一个一个启动组件难免有点麻烦。由于Tomcat的包含关系是Catalina->Server->Service->容器/连接器/日志器等，于是可通过父组件负责启动/关闭它的子组件，这样只要启动Catalina，其他的都自动启动了。这种单一启动和关闭的机制是通过实现Lifecycle接口来实现的。下面是Lifecycle接口的定义：
public synchronized void start() throws LifecycleException { // Validate and update our current component state if (started) throw new LifecycleException (sm.getString("containerBase.alreadyStarted", logName())); // Notify our interested LifecycleListeners lifecycle.fireLifecycleEvent(BEFORE_START_EVENT, null); addDefaultMapper(this.mapperClass); started = true; // Start our subordinate components, if any if ((loader != null) && (loader instanceof Lifecycle)) //启动所有其他的组件 ((Lifecycle) loader).start(); if ((logger != null) && (logger instanceof Lifecycle)) ((Lifecycle) logger).start(); if ((manager != null) && (manager instanceof Lifecycle)) ((Lifecycle) manager).start(); if ((cluster != null) && (cluster instanceof Lifecycle)) ((Lifecycle) cluster).start(); if ((realm != null) && (realm instanceof Lifecycle)) ((Lifecycle) realm).start(); if ((resources != null) && (resources instanceof Lifecycle)) ((Lifecycle) resources).start(); // Start our Mappers, if any Mapper mappers[] = findMappers(); for (int i = 0; i < mappers.length; i++) { if (mappers[i] instanceof Lifecycle) ((Lifecycle) mappers[i]).start(); } // Start our child containers, if any Container children[] = findChildren(); for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) { if (children[i] instanceof Lifecycle) ((Lifecycle) children[i]).start(); } // Start the Valves in our pipeline (including the basic), if any if (pipeline instanceof Lifecycle) ((Lifecycle) pipeline).start(); // Notify our interested LifecycleListeners lifecycle.fireLifecycleEvent(START_EVENT, null); // Notify our interested LifecycleListeners lifecycle.fireLifecycleEvent(AFTER_START_EVENT, null); }
