activiti源码分析(一)设计模式

时间:2022-07-30 11:27:02

  对activiti有基本了解的朋友都知道,activiti暴露了七个接口来提供工作流的相关服务,这些接口具体是如何实现的呢?查看源码发现其实现的形式大体如下: 

public class RuntimeServiceImpl extends ServiceImpl implements RuntimeService {

  public ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey(String processDefinitionKey) {
return commandExecutor.execute(new StartProcessInstanceCmd<ProcessInstance>(processDefinitionKey, null, null, null));
} public ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey(String processDefinitionKey, String businessKey) {
return commandExecutor.execute(new StartProcessInstanceCmd<ProcessInstance>(processDefinitionKey, null, businessKey, null));
} ...
}

  service中的大部分方法都是通过调用commandExecutor.execute()完成的,然而点进去看则会发现什么都没有:

public class CommandExecutorImpl implements CommandExecutor {

  private final CommandConfig defaultConfig;
private final CommandInterceptor first; public CommandExecutorImpl(CommandConfig defaultConfig, CommandInterceptor first) {
this.defaultConfig = defaultConfig;
this.first = first;
} public CommandInterceptor getFirst() {
return first;
} @Override
public CommandConfig getDefaultConfig() {
return defaultConfig;
} @Override
public <T> T execute(Command<T> command) {
return execute(defaultConfig, command);
} @Override
public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) {
return first.execute(config, command);
} }

  看到这里就会发现并不能看出这条语句究竟做了什么,那么究竟是如何提供服务的呢?其实activiti中大部分操作都是基于设计模式中的命令模式完成的(这里还使用了职责链模式,构造了命令拦截器链,用于在命令真正被执行之前做一系列操作)。下面结合源码详细介绍一下这些设计思路:

  命令模式的本质在于将命令进行封装,发出命令和执行命令分离。职责链模式只需要将请求放入职责链上,其处理细节和传递都不需要考虑。activiti将这两个模式整合在一起,构成了其服务主要的实现方式。其核心只有三个部分:CommandExecutor(命令执行器,用于执行命令),CommandInterceptor(命令拦截器,用于构建拦截器链),Command(命令自身)。这三个接口是整个核心的部分,还会涉及到其它的关键类,之后会一一说明,这三个类都在activiti-engine.jar这个activiti实现的核心包下,具体位置是:org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor。下面由这三个接口逐步介绍相关的类和具体实现:

  三个接口源码:

public interface Command <T> {

  T execute(CommandContext commandContext);

}

  

/**
* The command executor for internal usage.
*/
public interface CommandExecutor { /**
* @return the default {@link CommandConfig}, used if none is provided.
*/
CommandConfig getDefaultConfig(); /**
* Execute a command with the specified {@link CommandConfig}.
*/
<T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command); /**
* Execute a command with the default {@link CommandConfig}.
*/
<T> T execute(Command<T> command); }

  

public interface CommandInterceptor {

  <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command);

  CommandInterceptor getNext();

  void setNext(CommandInterceptor next);

}

  Command的接口中只有一个execute方法,这里才是写命令的具体实现,而CommandExecutor的实现类在上面已经给出,其包含了一个CommandConfig和一个命令拦截器CommandInterceptor,而执行的execute(command)方法,实际上调用的就是commandInterceptor.execute(commandConfig,command)。CommandInterceptor中包含了一个set和get方法,用于设置next(实际上就是下一个CommandInterceptor)变量。想象一下,这样就能够通过这种形式找到拦截器链的下一个拦截器链,就可以将命令传递下去。

  简单梳理一下:Service实现服务的其中一个标准方法是在具体服务中调用commandExecutor.execute(new command())(这里的command是具体的命令)。其执行步骤就是命令执行器commandExecutor.execute调用了其内部变量CommandInterceptor first(第一个命令拦截器)的execute方法(加上了参数commandConfig)。CommandInterceptor类中包含了一个CommandInterceptor对象next,用于指向下一个CommandInterceptor,在拦截器的execute方法中,只需要完成其对应的相关操作,然后执行一下next.execute(commandConfig,command),就可以很简单的将命令传递给下一个命令拦截器,然后在最后一个拦截器中执行command.execute(),调用这个命令最终要实现的内容就行了。

  实现一个自定义的命令只需要实现Command<T>接口,在execute中做相应的操作就行了,而实现一个自定义的命令拦截器需要继承AbstractCommandInterceptor,在execute中做相应的处理,最后调用next.execute()即可,而命令执行器虽然也可以自己实现,但是没有多大意义,非常麻烦。前面说过,命令执行器会先执行命令拦截器链的execute方法,但命令拦截器链是如何构建的,命令又是在哪里调用的,第一个拦截器是如何添加到命令执行器的,这些都要关注于Activiti工作流引擎的初始化。

  初始化的方法主要写在了org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl类的init()方法中,这里主要关注于其中的initCommandExecutors(),如果对activiti的配置不清楚的,可以好好的了解一下这个初始化过程。

  initCommandExecutors():

 protected void initCommandExecutors() {
initDefaultCommandConfig();
initSchemaCommandConfig();
initCommandInvoker();
initCommandInterceptors();
initCommandExecutor();
}

  这五个方法名很清楚地说明了初始化步骤,前两步都是初始化CommandConfig,第一个就是命令执行器的defaultConfig,主要用在transaction拦截器。第三步初始化命令执行者,这也是一个拦截器,不过其放在拦截器的尾端,最后一个执行,它的execute方法就是调用了command.execute()。第四步就是初始化命令拦截器了。最后一步初始化命令执行器。

  前三步相关的类:

/**
* CommandConfig实际就这两个配置
*/
public class CommandConfig { private boolean contextReusePossible;
private TransactionPropagation propagation; // DefaultConfig
public CommandConfig() {
this.contextReusePossible = true;
this.propagation = TransactionPropagation.REQUIRED;
} // SchemaCommandConfig
public CommandConfig transactionNotSupported() {
CommandConfig config = new CommandConfig();
config.contextReusePossible = false;
config.propagation = TransactionPropagation.NOT_SUPPORTED;
return config;
}
}

  CommandInvoker:

public class CommandInvoker extends AbstractCommandInterceptor {

  @Override
public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) {
return command.execute(Context.getCommandContext());
} @Override
public CommandInterceptor getNext() {
return null;
} @Override
public void setNext(CommandInterceptor next) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("CommandInvoker must be the last interceptor in the chain");
} }

  接下来看看关键的第四步:

protected void initCommandInterceptors() {
if (commandInterceptors==null) {
commandInterceptors = new ArrayList<CommandInterceptor>();
if (customPreCommandInterceptors!=null) {
commandInterceptors.addAll(customPreCommandInterceptors);
}
commandInterceptors.addAll(getDefaultCommandInterceptors());
if (customPostCommandInterceptors!=null) {
commandInterceptors.addAll(customPostCommandInterceptors);
}
commandInterceptors.add(commandInvoker);
}
} protected Collection< ? extends CommandInterceptor> getDefaultCommandInterceptors() {
List<CommandInterceptor> interceptors = new ArrayList<CommandInterceptor>();
interceptors.add(new LogInterceptor()); CommandInterceptor transactionInterceptor = createTransactionInterceptor();
if (transactionInterceptor != null) {
interceptors.add(transactionInterceptor);
} interceptors.add(new CommandContextInterceptor(commandContextFactory, this));
return interceptors;
}

  这段代码可以看出,activiti提供了默认的命令拦截器,其顺序是LogInterceptor->TransactionInterceptor->CommandContextInterceptor,也能看出activiti提供了配置自定义的拦截器可能,customPreCommandInterceptors和customPostCommandInterceptors,只需要set进入配置就行了。一个在默认拦截器之前,一个在之后,最后一个添加的就是commandInvoker。最终的命令拦截器链就是customPreCommandInterceptors->LogInterceptor->TransactionInterceptor->CommandContextInterceptor->customPostCommandInterceptors->commandInvoker。

  最后一步初始化命令执行器代码包括了构建拦截器链:

  protected void initCommandExecutor() {
if (commandExecutor==null) {
CommandInterceptor first = initInterceptorChain(commandInterceptors);
commandExecutor = new CommandExecutorImpl(getDefaultCommandConfig(), first);
}
} protected CommandInterceptor initInterceptorChain(List<CommandInterceptor> chain) {
if (chain==null || chain.isEmpty()) {
throw new ActivitiException("invalid command interceptor chain configuration: "+chain);
}
for (int i = 0; i < chain.size()-1; i++) {
chain.get(i).setNext( chain.get(i+1) );
}
return chain.get(0);
}

  最后我们看一看默认提供的三个拦截器都做了一些什么操作(不包括最后CommandInvoker,上面已给出)。

  LogInterceptor.execute():

    if (!log.isDebugEnabled()) {
// do nothing here if we cannot log
return next.execute(config, command);
}
log.debug("\n");
log.debug("--- starting {} --------------------------------------------------------", command.getClass().getSimpleName());
try { return next.execute(config, command); } finally {
log.debug("--- {} finished --------------------------------------------------------", command.getClass().getSimpleName());
log.debug("\n");
}

  TransactionInterceptor.execute()(这是一个抽象的方法,需要自己实现,下面以与spring集成后所给的实现为例)

    protected CommandInterceptor createTransactionInterceptor() {
if (transactionManager == null) {
throw new ActivitiException("transactionManager is required property for SpringProcessEngineConfiguration, use "
+ StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration.class.getName() + " otherwise");
} return new SpringTransactionInterceptor(transactionManager);
}

  SpringTransactionInterceptor:

public class SpringTransactionInterceptor extends AbstractCommandInterceptor {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SpringTransactionInterceptor.class); protected PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager; public SpringTransactionInterceptor(PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager) {
this.transactionManager = transactionManager;
} public <T> T execute(final CommandConfig config, final Command<T> command) {
LOGGER.debug("Running command with propagation {}", config.getTransactionPropagation()); TransactionTemplate transactionTemplate = new TransactionTemplate(transactionManager);
transactionTemplate.setPropagationBehavior(getPropagation(config)); T result = transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback<T>() {
public T doInTransaction(TransactionStatus status) {
return next.execute(config, command);
}
}); return result;
} private int getPropagation(CommandConfig config) {
switch (config.getTransactionPropagation()) {
case NOT_SUPPORTED:
return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_NOT_SUPPORTED;
case REQUIRED:
return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_REQUIRED;
case REQUIRES_NEW:
return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW;
default:
throw new ActivitiIllegalArgumentException("Unsupported transaction propagation: " + config.getTransactionPropagation());
}
}
}

  最后一个CommandContextInterceptor.execute():

  public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) {
CommandContext context = Context.getCommandContext(); boolean contextReused = false;
// We need to check the exception, because the transaction can be in a rollback state,
// and some other command is being fired to compensate (eg. decrementing job retries)
if (!config.isContextReusePossible() || context == null || context.getException() != null) {
context = commandContextFactory.createCommandContext(command);
}
else {
log.debug("Valid context found. Reusing it for the current command '{}'", command.getClass().getCanonicalName());
contextReused = true;
} try {
// Push on stack
Context.setCommandContext(context);
Context.setProcessEngineConfiguration(processEngineConfiguration); return next.execute(config, command); } catch (Exception e) { context.exception(e); } finally {
try {
if (!contextReused) {
context.close();
}
} finally {
// Pop from stack
Context.removeCommandContext();
Context.removeProcessEngineConfiguration();
Context.removeBpmnOverrideContext();
}
} return null;
}

  这里值得注意的是context.close()方法,这里将调用session.flush();,真正执行完成数据库操作。Context也是一个比较重要的类,有兴趣可以研究一下。
