applicationContext.xml和dispatcher-servlet.xml的区别

在SpringMVC项目中我们一般会引入applicationContext.xml和dispatcher-servlet.xml两个配置文件,这两个配置文件具体的区别是什么呢?

  Spring 官方文档介绍如下:

    Spring lets you define multiple contexts in a parent-child hierarchy.
The applicationContext.xml defines the beans for the "root webapp context", i.e. the context associated with the webapp.
The spring-servlet.xml (or whatever else you call it) defines the beans for one servlet's app context. There can be many of these in a webapp, one per Spring servlet (e.g. spring1-servlet.xml for servlet spring1, spring2-servlet.xml for servlet spring2).
Beans in spring-servlet.xml can reference beans in applicationContext.xml, but not vice versa.
All Spring MVC controllers must go in the spring-servlet.xml context.
In most simple cases, the applicationContext.xml context is unnecessary. It is generally used to contain beans that are shared between all servlets in a webapp. If you only have one servlet, then there's not really much point, unless you have a specific use for it.

  可见, applicationContext.xml 和 dispatch-servlet.xml形成了两个父子关系的上下文。

  1) 一个bean如果在两个文件中都被定义了(比如两个文件中都定义了component scan扫描相同的package), spring会在application context和 servlet context中都生成一个实例,他们处于不同的上下文空间中,他们的行为方式是有可能不一样的。

  2) 如果在application context和 servlet context中都存在同一个 @Service 的实例, controller(在servlet context中) 通过 @Resource引用时, 会优先选择servlet context中的实例。

  不过最好的方法是:在applicationContext和dispatcher-servlet定义的bean最好不要重复, dispatcher-servlet最好只是定义controller类型的bean。

  ApplicationContext.xml  是spring 全局配置文件,用来控制spring 特性的

  dispatcher-servlet.xml 是spring mvc里面的,控制器、拦截uri转发view

  使用applicationContext.xml文件时是需要在web.xml中添加listener的:

  <listener>
  <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
  </listener>
