在springMVC中容器要启动SpringIOC容器，tomcat是如何初始化IOC容器的呢？我们一般会在web.xml下配置如下：

    <!-- 配置spring IOC -->
	<!-- application范围内的参数，存放在ServletContext中 -->
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            <!--加入Spring总体配置文件-->
            classpath:applicationContext.xml
            <!-- /WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml,/WEB-INF/classes/spring- 
             srevlet.xml -->
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

   	<!-- Spring监听器 -->
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-    
         class>
    </listener>

我们从源码去查看它的过程，ContextLoaderListener是一个监听器，其实现了ServletContextListener接口，其用来监听Servlet，当tomcat启动时会初始化一个Servlet容器，这样ContextLoaderListener会监听到Servlet的初始化，这样在Servlet初始化之后我们就可以在ContextLoaderListener中也进行一些初始化操作。

public class ContextLoaderListener extends ContextLoader implements ServletContextListener {
    public ContextLoaderListener() {
	}

    public ContextLoaderListener(WebApplicationContext context) {
		super(context);
	}


	/**
	 * Initialize the root web application context.
	 */
	@Override
	public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
		initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
	}


	/**
	 * Close the root web application context.
	 */
	@Override
	public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
		closeWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
		ContextCleanupListener.cleanupAttributes(event.getServletContext());
	}

}

接下来看ServletContextListener这个接口，可以发现contextInitialized这个方法，用来初始化

public interface ServletContextListener extends EventListener {

    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce);


    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce);
}

之后回到这个ContextLoaderListener，可以看到contextInitialized方法里的继承自ContextLoader的initWebApplicationContext方法

public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
		if (servletContext.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE) != null) {
			throw new IllegalStateException(
					"Cannot initialize context because there is already a root application context present - " +
					"check whether you have multiple ContextLoader* definitions in your web.xml!");
		}

		Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ContextLoader.class);
		servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext");
		if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
			logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started");
		}
		long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

		try {
			// Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that
			// it is available on ServletContext shutdown.
			if (this.context == null) {
				this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
			}
			if (this.context instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
				ConfigurableWebApplicationContext cwac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) this.context;
				if (!cwac.isActive()) {
					// The context has not yet been refreshed -> provide services such as
					// setting the parent context, setting the application context id, etc
					if (cwac.getParent() == null) {
						// The context instance was injected without an explicit parent ->
						// determine parent for root web application context, if any.
						ApplicationContext parent = loadParentContext(servletContext);
						cwac.setParent(parent);
					}
					configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac, servletContext);
				}
			}
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);

			ClassLoader ccl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
			if (ccl == ContextLoader.class.getClassLoader()) {
				currentContext = this.context;
			}
			else if (ccl != null) {
				currentContextPerThread.put(ccl, this.context);
			}

			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
				logger.debug("Published root WebApplicationContext as ServletContext attribute with name [" +
						WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE + "]");
			}
			if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
				long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
				logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in " + elapsedTime + " ms");
			}

			return this.context;
		}
		catch (RuntimeException ex) {
			logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, ex);
			throw ex;
		}
		catch (Error err) {
			logger.error("Context initialization failed", err);
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, err);
			throw err;
		}
	}

大致意思是初始化web应用上下文，创建一个IOC容器，并将创建的IOC容器存到servletContext中。

我们看其中的这一段

if (this.context == null) {
				this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
			}

调用了createWebApplicationContext方法

protected WebApplicationContext createWebApplicationContext(ServletContext sc) {
		Class<?> contextClass = determineContextClass(sc);
		if (!ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.isAssignableFrom(contextClass)) {
			throw new ApplicationContextException("Custom context class [" + contextClass.getName() +
					"] is not of type [" + ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.class.getName() + "]");
		}
		return (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) BeanUtils.instantiateClass(contextClass);
	}

在里面又调用了determineContextClass方法，其中有这么一段话

contextClassName = defaultStrategies.getProperty(WebApplicationContext.class.getName());

进入defaultStrategies可以看到

private static final String DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH = "ContextLoader.properties";


	private static final Properties defaultStrategies;

	static {
		// Load default strategy implementations from properties file.
		// This is currently strictly internal and not meant to be customized
		// by application developers.
		try {
			ClassPathResource resource = new ClassPathResource(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PATH, ContextLoader.class);
			defaultStrategies = PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadProperties(resource);
		}
		catch (IOException ex) {
			throw new IllegalStateException("Could not load 'ContextLoader.properties': " + ex.getMessage());
		}
	}

之后再回到initWebApplicationContext方法，其中有这么一个方法configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext

protected void configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext wac, ServletContext sc) {
		if (ObjectUtils.identityToString(wac).equals(wac.getId())) {
			// The application context id is still set to its original default value
			// -> assign a more useful id based on available information
			String idParam = sc.getInitParameter(CONTEXT_ID_PARAM);
			if (idParam != null) {
				wac.setId(idParam);
			}
			else {
				// Generate default id...
				wac.setId(ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ID_PREFIX +
						ObjectUtils.getDisplayString(sc.getContextPath()));
			}
		}

		wac.setServletContext(sc);
		String configLocationParam = sc.getInitParameter(CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM);
		if (configLocationParam != null) {
			wac.setConfigLocation(configLocationParam);
		}

		// The wac environment's #initPropertySources will be called in any case when the context
		// is refreshed; do it eagerly here to ensure servlet property sources are in place for
		// use in any post-processing or initialization that occurs below prior to #refresh
		ConfigurableEnvironment env = wac.getEnvironment();
		if (env instanceof ConfigurableWebEnvironment) {
			((ConfigurableWebEnvironment) env).initPropertySources(sc, null);
		}

		customizeContext(sc, wac);
		wac.refresh();
	}

在这中调用了refresh方法，我们来看一下refresh的源码

@Override
	public void refresh() throws BeansException, IllegalStateException {
		synchronized (this.startupShutdownMonitor) {
			// Prepare this context for refreshing.
			prepareRefresh();

			// Tell the subclass to refresh the internal bean factory.
			ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = obtainFreshBeanFactory();

			// Prepare the bean factory for use in this context.
			prepareBeanFactory(beanFactory);

			try {
				// Allows post-processing of the bean factory in context subclasses.
				postProcessBeanFactory(beanFactory);

				// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context.
				invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Register bean processors that intercept bean creation.
				registerBeanPostProcessors(beanFactory);

				// Initialize message source for this context.
				initMessageSource();

				// Initialize event multicaster for this context.
				initApplicationEventMulticaster();

				// Initialize other special beans in specific context subclasses.
				onRefresh();

				// Check for listener beans and register them.
				registerListeners();

				// Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
				finishBeanFactoryInitialization(beanFactory);

				// Last step: publish corresponding event.
				finishRefresh();
			}

			catch (BeansException ex) {
				if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
					logger.warn("Exception encountered during context initialization - " +
							"cancelling refresh attempt: " + ex);
				}

				// Destroy already created singletons to avoid dangling resources.
				destroyBeans();

				// Reset 'active' flag.
				cancelRefresh(ex);

				// Propagate exception to caller.
				throw ex;
			}

			finally {
				// Reset common introspection caches in Spring's core, since we
				// might not ever need metadata for singleton beans anymore...
				resetCommonCaches();
			}
		}
	}

在AbstractRefreshApplicationContext实现了refreshBeanFactory方法，此方法最主要的就是loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory)，由子类去实现load所有的beanDefinition，下一次将具体说明这个方法

这个AbstractRefreshApplicationContext类中有这样一个方法obtainFreshBeanFactory

protected ConfigurableListableBeanFactory obtainFreshBeanFactory() {
		refreshBeanFactory();
		ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = getBeanFactory();
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			logger.debug("Bean factory for " + getDisplayName() + ": " + beanFactory);
		}
		return beanFactory;
	}

进入refreshBeanFactory这个方法

@Override
	protected final void refreshBeanFactory() throws BeansException {
		if (hasBeanFactory()) {
			destroyBeans();
			closeBeanFactory();
		}
		try {
			DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory = createBeanFactory();
			beanFactory.setSerializationId(getId());
			customizeBeanFactory(beanFactory);
			loadBeanDefinitions(beanFactory);
			synchronized (this.beanFactoryMonitor) {
				this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
			}
		}
		catch (IOException ex) {
			throw new ApplicationContextException("I/O error parsing bean definition source for " + getDisplayName(), ex);
		}
	}

进入loadBeanDefinitions方法

@Override
	protected void loadBeanDefinitions(DefaultListableBeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException, IOException {
		// Create a new XmlBeanDefinitionReader for the given BeanFactory.
		XmlBeanDefinitionReader beanDefinitionReader = new XmlBeanDefinitionReader(beanFactory);

		// Configure the bean definition reader with this context's
		// resource loading environment.
		beanDefinitionReader.setEnvironment(getEnvironment());
		beanDefinitionReader.setResourceLoader(this);
		beanDefinitionReader.setEntityResolver(new ResourceEntityResolver(this));

		// Allow a subclass to provide custom initialization of the reader,
		// then proceed with actually loading the bean definitions.
		initBeanDefinitionReader(beanDefinitionReader);
		loadBeanDefinitions(beanDefinitionReader);
	}

在这里加载之前在web.xml里面定义的内容，通过XmlBeanDefinitionReader方法加载了applicationContext.xml文件

<context-param>

<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

<param-value>

<!–加入Spring总体配置文件–>

classpath:applicationContext.xml

<!– /WEB-INF/classes/applicationContext.xml,/WEB-INF/classes/spring-srevlet.xml –>

</param-value>

</context-param>
