有时间还是应该多看看源码。
DispatcherServlet 是一个实实在在的 Servlet，所以 Spring MVC 引入后不会改变 Servlet 容器的行为， 仍然是解析 web.xml 部署文件，只需要在里面配置这个 Servlet 即可。 比如下面配置 dispatcher Servlet 处理所有的请求，也体现了 DispatcherServlet 是前端控制器（Front Controller）。 contextConfigLocation 上下文参数用于配置路径的指定，如果没有的话就使用默认的值。

DispatcherServlet 的父类 HttpServletBean 覆盖了 HttpServlet 的 init 方法，实现该 servlet 的初始化。
/**
* Map config parameters onto bean properties of this servlet, and
* invoke subclass initialization.
* @throws ServletException if bean properties are invalid (or required
* properties are missing), or if subclass initialization fails.
*/
@Override
public final void init() throws ServletException {
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Initializing servlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
}
// Set bean properties from init parameters.
try {
PropertyValues pvs = new ServletConfigPropertyValues(getServletConfig(), this.requiredProperties);
BeanWrapper bw = PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(this);
ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new ServletContextResourceLoader(getServletContext());
bw.registerCustomEditor(Resource.class, new ResourceEditor(resourceLoader, getEnvironment()));
initBeanWrapper(bw);
bw.setPropertyValues(pvs, true);
}
catch (BeansException ex) {
logger.error("Failed to set bean properties on servlet '" + getServletName() + "'", ex);
throw ex;
}
// Let subclasses do whatever initialization they like. 这里
initServletBean();
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Servlet '" + getServletName() + "' configured successfully");
}
}正如注释所说 initServletBean() 留由子类实现，体现了模板方法模式，当上述bean属性设置完成后，进入这里 FrameworkServlet#init() 创建 Servlet 的上下文 WebApplicationContext，initWebApplicationContext 首先会获得该 Web 应用的 root WebApplicationContext （通常是由 org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener 加载的），然后根据这个根上下文得到我们这个 Servlet 的 WebApplicationContext。initFrameworkServlet 方法是空的，而且子类 DispatcherServlet 也没有覆盖。
/**
* Overridden method of {@link HttpServletBean}, invoked after any bean properties
* have been set. Creates this servlet's WebApplicationContext.
*/
@Override
protected final void initServletBean() throws ServletException {
getServletContext().log("Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "'");
if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "': initialization started");
}
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
try {
this.webApplicationContext = initWebApplicationContext();
initFrameworkServlet();
}
catch (ServletException ex) {
this.logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
throw ex;
}
catch (RuntimeException ex) {
this.logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
throw ex;
}
if (this.logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
this.logger.info("FrameworkServlet '" + getServletName() + "': initialization completed in " +
elapsedTime + " ms");
}
}
/**

*/
protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext() {
WebApplicationContext rootContext =
WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());
WebApplicationContext wac = null;
if (this.webApplicationContext != null) {
// A context instance was injected at construction time -> use it
wac = this.webApplicationContext;
if (wac instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
ConfigurableWebApplicationContext cwac = (ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) wac;
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 -> set
// the root application context (if any; may be null) as the parent
cwac.setParent(rootContext);
}
configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext(cwac);
}
}
}
if (wac == null) {
// No context instance was injected at construction time -> see if one
// has been registered in the servlet context. If one exists, it is assumed
// that the parent context (if any) has already been set and that the
// user has performed any initialization such as setting the context id
wac = findWebApplicationContext();
}
if (wac == null) {

wac = createWebApplicationContext(rootContext);
}
if (!this.refreshEventReceived) {
// Either the context is not a ConfigurableApplicationContext with refresh
// support or the context injected at construction time had already been
// refreshed -> trigger initial onRefresh manually here.
onRefresh(wac);
}
if (this.publishContext) {
// Publish the context as a servlet context attribute.
String attrName = getServletContextAttributeName();
getServletContext().setAttribute(attrName, wac);
if (this.logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
this.logger.debug("Published WebApplicationContext of servlet '" + getServletName() +
"' as ServletContext attribute with name [" + attrName + "]");
}
}
return wac;
}FrameworkServlet 中覆盖了 HttpServlet 的 doGet(),doPost()等方法，而 doGet(),doPost()等又直接调用方法 processRequest 来处理请求，代码如下。
/**
* Delegate GET requests to processRequest/doService.
* <p>Will also be invoked by HttpServlet's default implementation of {@code doHead},
* with a {@code NoBodyResponse} that just captures the content length.
* @see #doService
* @see #doHead
*/
@Override
protected final void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}
/**
* Delegate POST requests to {@link #processRequest}.
* @see #doService
*/
@Override
protected final void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}然后我们进入 processRequest 方法，实际的请求处理是调用其抽象方法 doService。
/**
* Process this request, publishing an event regardless of the outcome.
* <p>The actual event handling is performed by the abstract
* {@link #doService} template method.
*/
protected final void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
Throwable failureCause = null;
LocaleContext previousLocaleContext = LocaleContextHolder.getLocaleContext();
LocaleContext localeContext = buildLocaleContext(request);
RequestAttributes previousAttributes = RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes();
ServletRequestAttributes requestAttributes = buildRequestAttributes(request, response, previousAttributes);
WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);
asyncManager.registerCallableInterceptor(FrameworkServlet.class.getName(), new RequestBindingInterceptor());
initContextHolders(request, localeContext, requestAttributes);
try {
doService(request, response);
}
catch (ServletException ex) {
failureCause = ex;
throw ex;
}
catch (IOException ex) {
failureCause = ex;
throw ex;
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
failureCause = ex;
throw new NestedServletException("Request processing failed", ex);
}
finally {
resetContextHolders(request, previousLocaleContext, previousAttributes);
if (requestAttributes != null) {
requestAttributes.requestCompleted();
}
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
if (failureCause != null) {
this.logger.debug("Could not complete request", failureCause);
}
else {
if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
logger.debug("Leaving response open for concurrent processing");
}
else {
this.logger.debug("Successfully completed request");
}
}
}
publishRequestHandledEvent(request, response, startTime, failureCause);
}
}
/**
* Subclasses must implement this method to do the work of request handling,
* receiving a centralized callback for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

* {@code doGet} or {@code doPost} methods of HttpServlet.

*/
protected abstract void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception;然后在 DispatcherServlet 中具体实现请求的处理分发，先是把一些资源放到请求属性中，然后调用 doDispatch 实现请求分发到控制器的 handler。doDispatch 中首先会判断是否是文件传输流的请求（利用MultipartResolver），如果是的话就会转为 MultipartHttpServletRequest。接下来 getHandler(processedRequest) 根据请求获得对应的handler，最后调用 handle() 处理请求，会反射到在控制器中实现的方法。

}HandlerAdapter接口的handle方法抽象的是一个handler如何处理一个请求，该接口实现有下面几个。
AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter 基于HTTP请求的路径，方法，请求参数，使用 RequestMapping 注解来映handler，从 Spring 3.2建议使用RequestMappingHandlerAdapter。这里看看AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter是如何实现handle方法的, 使用了反射，最后通过 invokeHandlerMethod 执行了对应的handler方法。
@Override
public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
throws Exception {
Class<?> clazz = ClassUtils.getUserClass(handler);
Boolean annotatedWithSessionAttributes = this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.get(clazz);
if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes == null) {
annotatedWithSessionAttributes = (AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(clazz, SessionAttributes.class) != null);
this.sessionAnnotatedClassesCache.put(clazz, annotatedWithSessionAttributes);
}
if (annotatedWithSessionAttributes) {
checkAndPrepare(request, response, this.cacheSecondsForSessionAttributeHandlers, true);
}
else {
checkAndPrepare(request, response, true);
}
// Execute invokeHandlerMethod in synchronized block if required.
if (this.synchronizeOnSession) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
if (session != null) {
Object mutex = WebUtils.getSessionMutex(session);
synchronized (mutex) {
return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
}
}
}
return invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handler);
}
protected ModelAndView invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
throws Exception {
ServletHandlerMethodResolver methodResolver = getMethodResolver(handler);
Method handlerMethod = methodResolver.resolveHandlerMethod(request);
ServletHandlerMethodInvoker methodInvoker = new ServletHandlerMethodInvoker(methodResolver);
ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(request, response);
ExtendedModelMap implicitModel = new BindingAwareModelMap();
Object result = methodInvoker.invokeHandlerMethod(handlerMethod, handler, webRequest, implicitModel);
ModelAndView mav =
methodInvoker.getModelAndView(handlerMethod, handler.getClass(), result, implicitModel, webRequest);
methodInvoker.updateModelAttributes(handler, (mav != null ? mav.getModel() : null), implicitModel, webRequest);
return mav;
}不要满足于得心应手的事，要不断的做触及能力之上的东西，才会成长。
