什么是循环依赖?

大家都知道spring的核心是一个实现了AOP的IOC容器,那么IOC容器对于bean的初始化,会遇到以下情况:当BeanA初始化时,它依赖的对象BeanB也需要执行初始化,如果BeanB里也依赖了BeanA,则又会开始执行BeanA的初始化,那么这样会无限循环,导致初始化异常如下所示。

Spring已经很好的解决了这个问题,这个解决方法就是三级缓存。

什么是三级缓存?

我们以上图中A、B互相依赖为例,spring为了解决循环依赖问题,做了以下步骤:

  • A通过反射创建的“初级bean”a放入到三级缓存中,再执行a的属性填充,这时发现依赖B,开启B的初始化。

  • B通过反射生成的“初级bean”b放入到三级缓存中,再执行b的属性填充,这时发现依赖A,开启A的初始化。

  • 从三级缓存中找到a,A不再创建新对象,把它移动到二级缓存中,返回a。

  • b拿到a的引用,设置到b对应的字段上,属性填充完成,将b从三级缓存暴露到一级缓存中,返回b。

  • a拿到b的引用,设置到a对应的字段上,属性填充完成,将a从二级缓存暴露到一级缓存中,返回a,A对应的实例Bean初始化完成。

    其简易时序图

/** Cache of singleton objects: bean name to bean instance. */
/** 一级缓存,初始化完成的SpringBean均放置其中 */
private final Map<String, Object> singletonObjects = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(256);

/** Cache of early singleton objects: bean name to bean instance. */
/** 二级缓存,反射完成后,还未填充属性的初级对象但是其他对象查询过时从三级中移动到二级 */
private final Map<String, Object> earlySingletonObjects = new HashMap<>(16);

/** Cache of singleton factories: bean name to ObjectFactory. */
/** 三级缓存,反射完成后,还未填充属性的初级对象放置其中 */
private final Map<String, ObjectFactory<?>> singletonFactories = new HashMap<>(16);

为什么三级缓存earlySingletonObjects和二级缓存singletonFactories的初始容量16,而一级缓存容量为256呢?笔者认为因为二级、三级仅仅是在处理依赖时会使用到,这种多重循环依赖的情况在实际项目中应该是少数,所以不用使用太大的空间。而最终spring实例化完成的bean会放置在一级缓存中,所以默认容量会调大一些,毕竟spring有很多自身的bean也是放置在这里面的,比如systemEnvironment、systemProperties、messageSource、applicationEventMulticaster等。

spring的源码阅读

当单例对象不存在时,会通过org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry#getSingleton(java.lang.String, org.springframework.beans.factory.ObjectFactory<?>)方法来获取单例对象。

从doCreateBean方法可以看出:先调用构造方法,生成初级bean,然后暴露到三级缓存,然后执行属性填充,最表标记bean初始化完成,如果二级缓存有,则替换引用,最后完成注册并返回对象。

那么这个填充属性方法populateBean(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd, @Nullable BeanWrapper bw) 又做了什么呢?

代码比较多,核心思想就是获取这个bean里的所有依赖bean,然后调用applyPropertyValues方法去创建对应的依赖bean,并设置到对应的属性上。

this.beanFactory.registerDependentBean(dependsOnBean, actualInnerBeanName);
// 初始化bean
this.beanFactory.getBean(dependsOnBean);

}
}

allowEarlyReference传入true,对于新的bean,已经在三级缓存中存在,会将三级缓存转移到二级缓存,并返回bean,不用真正的去创建一个bean。

logger.warn("从三级缓存中查询,调用DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(beanName, allowEarlyReference)->得到" + beanName + ":" + singletonObject + " ,allowEarlyReference:" + allowEarlyReference);
}
return singletonObject;
}

所以第三步的Bean B属性填充方法此时完成,Bean B被加载到一级缓存中。由此回溯,Bean A的属性填充完成,Bean A被加载到一级缓存中。可结合本文最开始给出的时序图进行参考。

其他问题

为什么要用三级缓存而不是二级?

我们可以从三级缓存的值类型看出,一、二级的值均为Spring Bean对象的引用,三级对象则为ObjectFactory的引用。

/** Cache of singleton objects: bean name to bean instance. */
/** 一级缓存,初始化完成的SpringBean均放置其中 */

/** 二级缓存,反射完成后,还未填充属性的初级对象但是其他对象查询过时从三级中移动到二级 */

/** Cache of singleton factories: bean name to ObjectFactory. */
/** 三级缓存,反射完成后,还未填充属性的初级对象放置其中 */
private final Map<String, ObjectFactory<?>> singletonFactories = new HashMap<>(16);

为什么要有ObjectFactory类型的第三级缓存?

将对象从三级缓存singletonFactories中移动到二级缓存时,会执行ObjectFactory的getBean方法,再调用到getEarlyBeanReference方法,最终遍历该Bean对应的所有SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor进行执行;熟悉spring的朋友们肯定知道,SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor是Spring Aop动态代理相关属性处理器。执行后获得一个新的bean,该bean是原bean代理对象。

protected Object getEarlyBeanReference(String beanName, RootBeanDefinition mbd, Object bean) {
Object exposedObject = bean;
if (!mbd.isSynthetic() && hasInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessors()) {
for (BeanPostProcessor bp : getBeanPostProcessors()) {
if (bp instanceof SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) {
SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor ibp = (SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor) bp;
exposedObject = ibp.getEarlyBeanReference(exposedObject, beanName);
}
}
}
return exposedObject;
}

也就是说,三级缓存 存在的目的就是增强对象,当需要使用spring的aop功能时返回代理对象,如果咱们永远用不到代理对象,三级缓存理论上可以不用。

既然三级缓存为了获取代理对象,只保留一三级缓存、第二级缓存可以不要吗?

理论上可以,只需要两级缓存就可以解决循环依赖的问题,但在处理循环依赖的过程,一级缓存中将可能同时存在完整Spring Bean A 和 半成品Spring Bean B。三级对象getObject之后直接放置到二级,最后再刷到一级,二级到一级这个过程中并无额外的处理。

那么为什么spring要使用三级呢?笔者认为一是为了规范各级缓存职责单一原则,不让一级缓存中出现完整的bean和半成品bean;二是为了避免半成品bean被其他线程获取后进行调用,降低实现的难度。
