Spring中autowired主要用于装配树形值，其关键类为BeanWrapperImpl,阅读代码发现其关键方法setPropertyValue有如下一段代码。
PropertyHandler ph = getLocalPropertyHandler(actualName);
if (ph == null || !ph.isWritable()) {
if (pv.isOptional()) {
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Ignoring optional value for property '" + actualName +
"' - property not found on bean class [" + getRootClass().getName() + "]");
}
return;
}
else {
throw createNotWritablePropertyException(propertyName);
}
}
Object oldValue = null;
try {
Object originalValue = pv.getValue();
Object valueToApply = originalValue;
if (!Boolean.FALSE.equals(pv.conversionNecessary)) {
if (pv.isConverted()) {
valueToApply = pv.getConvertedValue();
}
else {
if (isExtractOldValueForEditor() && ph.isReadable()) {
try {
oldValue = ph.getValue();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
if (ex instanceof PrivilegedActionException) {
ex = ((PrivilegedActionException) ex).getException();
}
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Could not read previous value of property '" +
this.nestedPath + propertyName + "'", ex);
}
}
}
valueToApply = convertForProperty(
propertyName, oldValue, originalValue, ph.toTypeDescriptor());
}
pv.getOriginalPropertyValue().conversionNecessary = (valueToApply != originalValue);
}
ph.setValue(this.wrappedObject, valueToApply);
显然最终都是调用setPropertyValue来设置属性值的。真实注入的时候是发生在getBean的时候，在实例化完成后会调用populateBean方法。查看populateBean方法发现如下代码：
protected void populateBean(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd, BeanWrapper bw) {
PropertyValues pvs = mbd.getPropertyValues();
if (bw == null) {
if (!pvs.isEmpty()) {
throw new BeanCreationException(
mbd.getResourceDescription(), beanName, "Cannot apply property values to null instance");
}
else {
// Skip property population phase for null instance.
return;
}
}
// Give any InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessors the opportunity to modify the
// state of the bean before properties are set. This can be used, for example,
// to support styles of field injection.
boolean continueWithPropertyPopulation = true;
if (!mbd.isSynthetic() && hasInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessors()) {
for (BeanPostProcessor bp : getBeanPostProcessors()) {
if (bp instanceof InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) {
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor ibp = (InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) bp;
if (!ibp.postProcessAfterInstantiation(bw.getWrappedInstance(), beanName)) {
continueWithPropertyPopulation = false;
break;
}
}
}
}
if (!continueWithPropertyPopulation) {
return;
}
if (mbd.getResolvedAutowireMode() == RootBeanDefinition.AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME ||
mbd.getResolvedAutowireMode() == RootBeanDefinition.AUTOWIRE_BY_TYPE) {
MutablePropertyValues newPvs = new MutablePropertyValues(pvs);
// Add property values based on autowire by name if applicable.
if (mbd.getResolvedAutowireMode() == RootBeanDefinition.AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME) {
autowireByName(beanName, mbd, bw, newPvs);
}
// Add property values based on autowire by type if applicable.
if (mbd.getResolvedAutowireMode() == RootBeanDefinition.AUTOWIRE_BY_TYPE) {
autowireByType(beanName, mbd, bw, newPvs);
}
pvs = newPvs;
}
boolean hasInstAwareBpps = hasInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessors();
boolean needsDepCheck = (mbd.getDependencyCheck() != RootBeanDefinition.DEPENDENCY_CHECK_NONE);
if (hasInstAwareBpps || needsDepCheck) {
PropertyDescriptor[] filteredPds = filterPropertyDescriptorsForDependencyCheck(bw, mbd.allowCaching);
if (hasInstAwareBpps) {
for (BeanPostProcessor bp : getBeanPostProcessors()) {
if (bp instanceof InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) {
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor ibp = (InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) bp;
pvs = ibp.postProcessPropertyValues(pvs, filteredPds, bw.getWrappedInstance(), beanName);
if (pvs == null) {
return;
}
}
}
}
if (needsDepCheck) {
checkDependencies(beanName, mbd, filteredPds, pvs);
}
}
applyPropertyValues(beanName, mbd, bw, pvs);
}
注意如下代码：
InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor ibp = (InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) bp;
pvs = ibp.postProcessPropertyValues(pvs, filteredPds, bw.getWrappedInstance(), beanName);
在给属性赋值之前会调用InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor的postProcessPropertyValues方法，获取最终的PropertyValues。
在Spring注入的InstantionAwaireBeanPostProcessor中比较关键的子类就是处理@Autowired的子类，AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor。下如战士postProcessPropertyValues的实现过程，只列出了几个关键的方法。
(1) findAutowiringMetadata方法的主要功能是对InjectMetadata添加了本地缓存,真实的解析InjectMetadata会使用反射，添加缓存可以名小减少对反射的依赖。真实的生成InjectMetadata是buildAutowiringMetadata方法。
private InjectionMetadata buildAutowiringMetadata(final Class<?> clazz) {
LinkedList<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement> elements = new LinkedList<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement>();
Class<?> targetClass = clazz;
do {
final LinkedList<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement> currElements =
new LinkedList<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement>();
ReflectionUtils.doWithLocalFields(targetClass, new ReflectionUtils.FieldCallback() {
@Override
public void doWith(Field field) throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
AnnotationAttributes ann = findAutowiredAnnotation(field);
if (ann != null) {
if (Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers())) {
if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
logger.warn("Autowired annotation is not supported on static fields: " + field);
}
return;
}
boolean required = determineRequiredStatus(ann);
currElements.add(new AutowiredFieldElement(field, required));
}
}
});
ReflectionUtils.doWithLocalMethods(targetClass, new ReflectionUtils.MethodCallback() {
@Override
public void doWith(Method method) throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
Method bridgedMethod = BridgeMethodResolver.findBridgedMethod(method);
if (!BridgeMethodResolver.isVisibilityBridgeMethodPair(method, bridgedMethod)) {
return;
}
AnnotationAttributes ann = findAutowiredAnnotation(bridgedMethod);
if (ann != null && method.equals(ClassUtils.getMostSpecificMethod(method, clazz))) {
if (Modifier.isStatic(method.getModifiers())) {
if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
logger.warn("Autowired annotation is not supported on static methods: " + method);
}
return;
}
if (method.getParameterTypes().length == 0) {
if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
logger.warn("Autowired annotation should be used on methods with parameters: " + method);
}
}
boolean required = determineRequiredStatus(ann);
PropertyDescriptor pd = BeanUtils.findPropertyForMethod(bridgedMethod, clazz);
currElements.add(new AutowiredMethodElement(method, required, pd));
}
}
});
elements.addAll(0, currElements);
targetClass = targetClass.getSuperclass();
}
while (targetClass != null && targetClass != Object.class);
return new InjectionMetadata(clazz, elements);
}
buildAutowiringMetadata
其实doWithLocalFields和doWithLocalMethods比较类似，都使用策略模式的实现回调方法来实现。这种回调方式是常用的方法。
ReflectionUtils.doWithLocalFields(targetClass, new ReflectionUtils.FieldCallback() {
@Override
public void doWith(Field field) throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException {
AnnotationAttributes ann = findAutowiredAnnotation(field);
if (ann != null) {
if (Modifier.isStatic(field.getModifiers())) {
if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
logger.warn("Autowired annotation is not supported on static fields: " + field);
}
return;
}
boolean required = determineRequiredStatus(ann);
currElements.add(new AutowiredFieldElement(field, required));
}
}
});
doWithLocalFields
public static void doWithLocalFields(Class<?> clazz, FieldCallback fc) {
for (Field field : getDeclaredFields(clazz)) {
try {
fc.doWith(field);
}
catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Not allowed to access field '" + field.getName() + "': " + ex);
}
}
}
doWithLocalFields
注意到@Autowired不支持静态注入的原因，就是增加了判断签名为static的时候，并没有解析。
InjectElement有两个关键子类，AutowiredMethodElement主要解决method上面的注解，AutowiredFieldElement主要解决field上面的注解。不同之处就是field会从容器查找filed对应的bean,method会将每一个参数都注入。其最关键的方法均为resolveDependency方法。其中观察resolveDependency方法的调用中有个关键方法findAutowireCandidates。
protected Map<String, Object> findAutowireCandidates(
String beanName, Class<?> requiredType, DependencyDescriptor descriptor) { String[] candidateNames = BeanFactoryUtils.beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(
this, requiredType, true, descriptor.isEager());
Map<String, Object> result = new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>(candidateNames.length);
for (Class<?> autowiringType : this.resolvableDependencies.keySet()) {
if (autowiringType.isAssignableFrom(requiredType)) {
Object autowiringValue = this.resolvableDependencies.get(autowiringType);
autowiringValue = AutowireUtils.resolveAutowiringValue(autowiringValue, requiredType);
if (requiredType.isInstance(autowiringValue)) {
result.put(ObjectUtils.identityToString(autowiringValue), autowiringValue);
break;
}
}
}
for (String candidateName : candidateNames) {
if (!isSelfReference(beanName, candidateName) && isAutowireCandidate(candidateName, descriptor)) {
addCandidateEntry(result, candidateName, descriptor, requiredType);
}
}
if (result.isEmpty() && !indicatesMultipleBeans(requiredType)) {
// Consider fallback matches if the first pass failed to find anything...
DependencyDescriptor fallbackDescriptor = descriptor.forFallbackMatch();
for (String candidateName : candidateNames) {
if (!isSelfReference(beanName, candidateName) && isAutowireCandidate(candidateName, fallbackDescriptor)) {
addCandidateEntry(result, candidateName, descriptor, requiredType);
}
}
if (result.isEmpty()) {
// Consider self references before as a final pass
for (String candidateName : candidateNames) {
if (isSelfReference(beanName, candidateName) && isAutowireCandidate(candidateName, fallbackDescriptor)) {
addCandidateEntry(result, candidateName, descriptor, requiredType);
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
首先处理的是resolevableDependencies，如果已经注册依赖，直接从注册的依赖中提取。否则直接调用getType方法获取bean。注册依赖可能是容易被忽略的。
在refresh中就有直接注册依赖的调用：
protected void prepareBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
....//省略部分代码
beanFactory.registerResolvableDependency(BeanFactory.class, beanFactory);
beanFactory.registerResolvableDependency(ResourceLoader.class, this);
beanFactory.registerResolvableDependency(ApplicationEventPublisher.class, this);
beanFactory.registerResolvableDependency(ApplicationContext.class, this);
......//省略部分代码
}
}
