本文接下來(lái)分析Context容器，Context容器實(shí)例表示一個(gè)具體的Web應(yīng)用程序，其中包括一個(gè)或多個(gè)Wrapper實(shí)例；不過Context容器還需要其他的組件支持，典型的如載入器和Session管理器等。
在創(chuàng)建StandardContext實(shí)例后，必須調(diào)用其start()方法來(lái)為引入的每個(gè)HTTP請(qǐng)求服務(wù)；其中包括讀取和解析默認(rèn)的web.xml文件（該文件位于%CATALINA_HOME%/conf目錄），該文件的內(nèi)容會(huì)應(yīng)用到所有部署到tomcat中的應(yīng)用程序中；此外，還會(huì)配置驗(yàn)證器閥和許可閥。
StandardContext類使用一個(gè)事件監(jiān)聽器來(lái)作為其配置器（前面我們已經(jīng)學(xué)過在SimpleContextConfig事件監(jiān)聽器中配置驗(yàn)證器閥）

在它的start()方法里面，包括初始化相關(guān)容器組件、觸發(fā)相關(guān)事件等（ContextConfig監(jiān)聽器會(huì)執(zhí)行一些配置操作）
StandardContext類的invoke()方法由與其相關(guān)聯(lián)的連接器調(diào)用，或者當(dāng)StandardContext實(shí)例是Host容器的子容器時(shí)，由Host實(shí)例的invoke()方法調(diào)用
public
void
invoke(Request request, Response response)
throws
IOException, ServletException {
//
Wait if we are reloading
while
(getPaused()) {
try
{
Thread.sleep(
1000
);
}
catch
(InterruptedException e) {
;
}
}
//

if
(swallowOutput) {
try
{
SystemLogHandler.startCapture();
super
.invoke(request, response);
}
finally
{
String log

SystemLogHandler.stopCapture();

對(duì)于每個(gè)引入的HTTP請(qǐng)求，都會(huì)調(diào)用StandardContext實(shí)例的管道對(duì)象的基礎(chǔ)閥的invoke()方法來(lái)處理，這里是org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve類的實(shí)例；StandardContextValve類的invoke()方法要做的第一件事是獲取一個(gè)要處理當(dāng)前HTTP請(qǐng)求的Wrapper實(shí)例；StandardContextValve實(shí)例使用StandardContext實(shí)例的映射器找到一個(gè)合適的Wrapper實(shí)例，找到Wrapper實(shí)例后，它就會(huì)調(diào)用Wrapper實(shí)例的invoke()方法
下面是standardContextMapper類的map()方法
public

boolean
update) {
int
debug =
context.getDebug();
//

if
(update && (request.getWrapper() !=

String servletPath

relativeURI;
String pathInfo

String name

//

if
(wrapper ==

(debug >= 2

context.log(
" Trying exact match"

if
(!(relativeURI.equals("/"

name

context.findServletMapping(relativeURI);
if

wrapper

wrapper
=
(Wrapper) context.findChild(name);
if
(wrapper !=
null
) {
pathInfo
=
relativeURI.substring(servletPath.length());
if
(pathInfo.length() == 0
)
pathInfo
=
null
;
break
;
}
int
slash = servletPath.lastIndexOf('/'
);
if
(slash < 0
)
break
;
servletPath
= servletPath.substring(0
, slash);
}
}
//
Rule 3 -- Extension Match
if
(wrapper ==
null
) {
if
(debug >= 2
)
context.log(
" Trying extension match"
);
int
slash = relativeURI.lastIndexOf('/'
);
if
(slash >= 0
) {
String last
=
relativeURI.substring(slash);
int
period = last.lastIndexOf('.'
);
if
(period >= 0
) {
String pattern
= "*" +
last.substring(period);
name
=
context.findServletMapping(pattern);
if
(name !=
null
)
wrapper
=
(Wrapper) context.findChild(name);
if
(wrapper !=
null
) {
servletPath
=
relativeURI;
pathInfo
=
null
;
}
}
}
}
//
Rule 4 -- Default Match
if
(wrapper ==
null
) {
if
(debug >= 2
)
context.log(
" Trying default match"
);
name
= context.findServletMapping("/"
);
if
(name !=
null
)
wrapper
=
(Wrapper) context.findChild(name);
if
(wrapper !=

servletPath

relativeURI;
pathInfo

}
}
//
Update the Request (if requested) and return this Wrapper
if
((debug >= 1) && (wrapper !=
null
))
context.log(
" Mapped to servlet '" + wrapper.getName() +
"' with servlet path '" + servletPath +
"' and path info '" + pathInfo +
"' and update=" +
update);
if
(update) {
request.setWrapper(wrapper);
((HttpRequest) request).setServletPath(servletPath);
((HttpRequest) request).setPathInfo(pathInfo);
}
return
(wrapper);
}
standardContextMapper實(shí)例必須與一個(gè)Context級(jí)的容器相關(guān)聯(lián)（在它的map()方法中調(diào)用了Context容器實(shí)例的相關(guān)方法）
standardContext類定義了reloadable屬性來(lái)指明該應(yīng)用程序是否啟用了重載功能，當(dāng)啟用重載功能后，當(dāng)web.xml文件發(fā)生變化或WEB-INF/classes目錄下的文件被重新編譯后，應(yīng)用程序會(huì)重載。
standardContext類是通過其載入器實(shí)現(xiàn)應(yīng)用程序重載的，在tomcat4中，standardContext對(duì)象中的WebappLoader類實(shí)現(xiàn)了Loader接口，并使用另一個(gè)線程檢查WEB-INF目錄中的所有類和JAR文件的時(shí)間戳。只需要調(diào)用其setContainer()方法將WebappLoader對(duì)象與standardContext對(duì)象相關(guān)聯(lián)就可以啟動(dòng)該檢查線程
下面是tomcat4中WebappLoader類的setContainer()方法的實(shí)現(xiàn)代碼
public
void
setContainer(Container container) {
//
Deregister from the old Container (if any)
if
((
this
.container !=
null
) && (
this
.container
instanceof
Context))
((Context)
this
.container).removePropertyChangeListener(
this
);
//
Process this property change
Container oldContainer =
this
.container;
this
.container =
container;
support.firePropertyChange(
"container", oldContainer,
this
.container);
//
Register with the new Container (if any)
if
((
this
.container !=
null
) && (
this
.container
instanceof
Context)) {
setReloadable( ((Context)
this
.container).getReloadable() );
((Context)
this
.container).addPropertyChangeListener(
this
);
}
}
WebappLoader實(shí)例的reloadable屬性值與standardContext實(shí)例的reloadable屬性值是一致的
下面是WebappLoader類的setReloadable()方法的實(shí)現(xiàn)代碼：
public
void
setReloadable(
boolean
reloadable) {
//
Process this property change
boolean
oldReloadable =
this
.reloadable;
this
.reloadable =
reloadable;
support.firePropertyChange(
"reloadable"
,
new
Boolean(oldReloadable),
new
Boolean(
this
.reloadable));
//
Start or stop our background thread if required
if
(!
started)
return
;
if
(!oldReloadable &&
this
.reloadable)
threadStart();
else
if
(oldReloadable && !
this
.reloadable)
threadStop();
}
里面的threadStart()方法會(huì)啟動(dòng)一個(gè)專用的線程來(lái)不斷地檢查WEB-INF目錄下的類和JAR文件的時(shí)間戳，而threadStop()方法則會(huì)終止該線程。
