## Servlet 基础

### Servlet 简介

Servlet（Server Applet）是 J2EE 的内容之一，由 Java 编写的服务器端小程序。它是 web 请求的入口，主要功能在于交互式地（Request 和 Response）浏览和修改数据，生成动态 Web 内容。Servlet 运行于支持 Servlet 的 WEB 容器中，如 Tomcat。从实现上讲，Servlet 可以响应任何类型的请求，但绝大多数情况下 Servlet 只用来扩展基于 HTTP 协议 的 Web 服务器。servlet 的工作模式如下：

- 客户端发送请求至 WEB 服务器；
- 服务器根据请求的 URL 调用相应的 servlet 对象进行处理，获取到 servlet 对象的处理结果；
- 服务器将 响应内容 返回给客户端；

另外，由于各种 MVC 框架的兴起，现在几乎没人会直接使用 servlet 来处理请求咯，往往都是把 SpringMVC 在 Tomcat 中一配，各种请求都交由 DispatcherServlet 来分发。

### Servlet 生命周期

- 加载 : 客户端第一次访问该 Servlet 时，Tomcat 会创建该 Servlet 的实例，一般只创建 1 次，所以 servlet 对象 在 Tomcat 是单例的；
- 初始化 : Tomcat 调用 该 Servlet 的 init()方法 进行初始化；
- 服务 : 每当客户端访问 该 Servlet 时，Tomcat 就会调用一次该 Servlet 的 service()方法 处理请求；
- 销毁 : Tomcat 关闭时，会调用 这些 servlet 的 destroy()方法，让该实例释放掉所占的资源。

简单总结一下就是：只要访问 Servlet，service()方法 就会被调用，init()方法 只有第一次访问 Servlet 的时候才会被调用，destroy()方法 会在 Tomcat 关闭的时候被调用。

### <load-on-startup>

在 web.xml 中配置 Servlet 时有个属性 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>。翻译过来就是 “在启动时加载”，其作用如下：

1. load-on-startup 元素标记容器是否应该在 web 应用程序 启动的时候就加载这个 Servlet，实例化并调用其 init()方法；
2. 它的值必须是一个整数，表示 Servlet 被加载的先后顺序；
3. 如果值为正整数或者 0 时，表示容器在应用启动时就加载并初始化这个 Servlet，值越小，Servlet 的优先级越高，就越先被加载。值相同时，容器就会自己选择顺序来加载；
4. 如果该元素的值为负数或者没有设置，则容器会在 Servlet 被请求时才加载。

### Servlet 的多线程并发问题

servlet 对象 在 Tomcat 服务器中 是 单实例-多线程并发访问的，比如 DispatcherServlet 对象 只会被创建一次，但多个请求同时过来时，Tomcat 线程池 的多个工作线程就会并发地访问该 DispatcherServlet 对象。所以，若一个 servlet 对象中存在被并发修改的共享数据（成员变量 等），又没有加锁控制并发安全，就很可能会出现线程安全问题。

解决方案：

1. 把可能会并发修改的共享数据的代码块进行同步（使用 synchronized 或 Lock 对象）；
2. 建议在 Servlet 类 中尽量不要使用成员变量。若使用成员变量，则必须同步，并尽量缩小同步代码块的范围，以避免因为同步而导致并发效率降低。

### Servlet 实现请求和响应

对于每次客户端请求，Web 容器 都会创建一个新的 HttpServletRequest 请求对象 和 一个新的 HttpServletResponse 响应对象，然后将这两个对象作为参数传递给相应的 Servlet 对象 的 service()方法，service()方法 再根据请求方式分别调用 doGet()/doPost()/doXXX()方法。经过一系列业务层处理，最后将结果封装到 response 对象中，交由 Socket 对象传输响应给客户端。

## Servlet 源码解析

javax.servlet 包对 Servlet 规范 的一些主要行为和接口进行了定义和简单实现，它是 Servlet 规范 的体现，具体的实现交由下游厂商或开发者(如：Tomcat / Jetty)，就像体现了 JDBC 规范的 java.sql 包 一样，主要负责定义标准和规范。其源码和注释如下。

```java
public interface Servlet {
    /**
     * 初始化servlet
     */
    public abstract void init(ServletConfig servletconfig) throws ServletException;

    /**

    public abstract void service(ServletRequest servletrequest, ServletResponse servletresponse)
            throws ServletException, IOException;

    /**

     */
    public abstract void destroy();

    public abstract ServletConfig getServletConfig();

    public abstract String getServletInfo();
}

/**
 * ServletConfig 主要用于保存一些 servlet的配置信息，与 servlet对象 成对出现
 */
public interface ServletConfig {

    public abstract String getServletName();

    public abstract ServletContext getServletContext();

    public abstract String getInitParameter(String s);

    public abstract Enumeration getInitParameterNames();
}

/**
 * 一个web应用对应一个ServletContext，ServletContext实例包含了所有servlet共享的资源信息
 */
public interface ServletContext {

    public abstract ServletContext getContext(String s);

    public abstract Servlet getServlet(String s) throws ServletException;

    public abstract Enumeration getServlets();

    public abstract Enumeration getAttributeNames();

    public abstract void setAttribute(String s, Object obj);

    public abstract void removeAttribute(String s);

    public abstract String getServletContextName();
}

/**

 */
public interface ServletRequest {

    public abstract Object getAttribute(String s);

    public abstract Enumeration getAttributeNames();

    public abstract String getCharacterEncoding();

    public abstract void setCharacterEncoding(String s) throws UnsupportedEncodingException;

    public abstract int getContentLength();

    public abstract ServletInputStream getInputStream() throws IOException;

    public abstract String getParameter(String s);

    public abstract int getServerPort();

    public abstract BufferedReader getReader() throws IOException;

    public abstract String getRemoteAddr();

    public abstract String getRemoteHost();

    public abstract void setAttribute(String s, Object obj);

    public abstract void removeAttribute(String s);

    public abstract Locale getLocale();

    public abstract Enumeration getLocales();

    public abstract boolean isSecure();

    public abstract RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(String s);
}

/**
 * 定义了 Servlet 要返回的 Response响应信息，调用Servlet 的 service()方法 时，会作为参数传入
 */
public interface ServletResponse {

    public abstract String getCharacterEncoding();

    public abstract ServletOutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException;

    public abstract PrintWriter getWriter() throws IOException;

    public abstract void setContentLength(int i);

    public abstract void setContentType(String s);

    public abstract void setBufferSize(int i);

    public abstract int getBufferSize();

    public abstract void flushBuffer() throws IOException;

    public abstract void resetBuffer();

    public abstract boolean isCommitted();

    public abstract void reset();

    public abstract void setLocale(Locale locale);

    public abstract Locale getLocale();
}
```

下面看一下 javax.servlet.http 包下的内容，它提供了很多 我经常用到的类和接口，比如：HttpServlet、HttpServletRequest、HttpServletResponse。其源码如下。
