activiti源码分析(一)设计模式
对activiti有基本了解的朋友都知道,activiti暴露了七个接口来提供工作流的相关服务,这些接口具体是如何实现的呢?查看源码发现其实现的形式大体如下:
public class RuntimeServiceImpl extends ServiceImpl implements RuntimeService { public ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey(String processDefinitionKey) { return commandExecutor.execute(new StartProcessInstanceCmd<ProcessInstance>(processDefinitionKey, null, null, null)); } public ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey(String processDefinitionKey, String businessKey) { return commandExecutor.execute(new StartProcessInstanceCmd<ProcessInstance>(processDefinitionKey, null, businessKey, null)); } ... }
service中的大部分方法都是通过调用commandExecutor.execute()完成的,然而点进去看则会发现什么都没有:
public class CommandExecutorImpl implements CommandExecutor { private final CommandConfig defaultConfig; private final CommandInterceptor first; public CommandExecutorImpl(CommandConfig defaultConfig, CommandInterceptor first) { this.defaultConfig = defaultConfig; this.first = first; } public CommandInterceptor getFirst() { return first; } @Override public CommandConfig getDefaultConfig() { return defaultConfig; } @Override public <T> T execute(Command<T> command) { return execute(defaultConfig, command); } @Override public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) { return first.execute(config, command); } }
看到这里就会发现并不能看出这条语句究竟做了什么,那么究竟是如何提供服务的呢?其实activiti中大部分操作都是基于设计模式中的命令模式完成的(这里还使用了职责链模式,构造了命令拦截器链,用于在命令真正被执行之前做一系列操作)。下面结合源码详细介绍一下这些设计思路:
命令模式的本质在于将命令进行封装,发出命令和执行命令分离。职责链模式只需要将请求放入职责链上,其处理细节和传递都不需要考虑。activiti将这两个模式整合在一起,构成了其服务主要的实现方式。其核心只有三个部分:CommandExecutor(命令执行器,用于执行命令),CommandInterceptor(命令拦截器,用于构建拦截器链),Command(命令自身)。这三个接口是整个核心的部分,还会涉及到其它的关键类,之后会一一说明,这三个类都在activiti-engine.jar这个activiti实现的核心包下,具体位置是:org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor。下面由这三个接口逐步介绍相关的类和具体实现:
三个接口源码:
public interface Command <T> { T execute(CommandContext commandContext); }
/** * The command executor for internal usage. */ public interface CommandExecutor { /** * @return the default {@link CommandConfig}, used if none is provided. */ CommandConfig getDefaultConfig(); /** * Execute a command with the specified {@link CommandConfig}. */ <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command); /** * Execute a command with the default {@link CommandConfig}. */ <T> T execute(Command<T> command); }
public interface CommandInterceptor { <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command); CommandInterceptor getNext(); void setNext(CommandInterceptor next); }
Command的接口中只有一个execute方法,这里才是写命令的具体实现,而CommandExecutor的实现类在上面已经给出,其包含了一个CommandConfig和一个命令拦截器CommandInterceptor,而执行的execute(command)方法,实际上调用的就是commandInterceptor.execute(commandConfig,command)。CommandInterceptor中包含了一个set和get方法,用于设置next(实际上就是下一个CommandInterceptor)变量。想象一下,这样就能够通过这种形式找到拦截器链的下一个拦截器链,就可以将命令传递下去。
简单梳理一下:Service实现服务的其中一个标准方法是在具体服务中调用commandExecutor.execute(new command())(这里的command是具体的命令)。其执行步骤就是命令执行器commandExecutor.execute调用了其内部变量CommandInterceptor first(第一个命令拦截器)的execute方法(加上了参数commandConfig)。CommandInterceptor类中包含了一个CommandInterceptor对象next,用于指向下一个CommandInterceptor,在拦截器的execute方法中,只需要完成其对应的相关操作,然后执行一下next.execute(commandConfig,command),就可以很简单的将命令传递给下一个命令拦截器,然后在最后一个拦截器中执行command.execute(),调用这个命令最终要实现的内容就行了。
实现一个自定义的命令只需要实现Command<T>接口,在execute中做相应的操作就行了,而实现一个自定义的命令拦截器需要继承AbstractCommandInterceptor,在execute中做相应的处理,最后调用next.execute()即可,而命令执行器虽然也可以自己实现,但是没有多大意义,非常麻烦。前面说过,命令执行器会先执行命令拦截器链的execute方法,但命令拦截器链是如何构建的,命令又是在哪里调用的,第一个拦截器是如何添加到命令执行器的,这些都要关注于Activiti工作流引擎的初始化。
初始化的方法主要写在了org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl类的init()方法中,这里主要关注于其中的initCommandExecutors(),如果对activiti的配置不清楚的,可以好好的了解一下这个初始化过程。
initCommandExecutors():
protected void initCommandExecutors() { initDefaultCommandConfig(); initSchemaCommandConfig(); initCommandInvoker(); initCommandInterceptors(); initCommandExecutor(); }
这五个方法名很清楚地说明了初始化步骤,前两步都是初始化CommandConfig,第一个就是命令执行器的defaultConfig,主要用在transaction拦截器。第三步初始化命令执行者,这也是一个拦截器,不过其放在拦截器的尾端,最后一个执行,它的execute方法就是调用了command.execute()。第四步就是初始化命令拦截器了。最后一步初始化命令执行器。
前三步相关的类:
/** * CommandConfig实际就这两个配置 */ public class CommandConfig { private boolean contextReusePossible; private TransactionPropagation propagation; // DefaultConfig public CommandConfig() { this.contextReusePossible = true; this.propagation = TransactionPropagation.REQUIRED; } // SchemaCommandConfig public CommandConfig transactionNotSupported() { CommandConfig config = new CommandConfig(); config.contextReusePossible = false; config.propagation = TransactionPropagation.NOT_SUPPORTED; return config; } }
CommandInvoker:
public class CommandInvoker extends AbstractCommandInterceptor { @Override public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) { return command.execute(Context.getCommandContext()); } @Override public CommandInterceptor getNext() { return null; } @Override public void setNext(CommandInterceptor next) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("CommandInvoker must be the last interceptor in the chain"); } }
接下来看看关键的第四步:
protected void initCommandInterceptors() { if (commandInterceptors==null) { commandInterceptors = new ArrayList<CommandInterceptor>(); if (customPreCommandInterceptors!=null) { commandInterceptors.addAll(customPreCommandInterceptors); } commandInterceptors.addAll(getDefaultCommandInterceptors()); if (customPostCommandInterceptors!=null) { commandInterceptors.addAll(customPostCommandInterceptors); } commandInterceptors.add(commandInvoker); } } protected Collection< ? extends CommandInterceptor> getDefaultCommandInterceptors() { List<CommandInterceptor> interceptors = new ArrayList<CommandInterceptor>(); interceptors.add(new LogInterceptor()); CommandInterceptor transactionInterceptor = createTransactionInterceptor(); if (transactionInterceptor != null) { interceptors.add(transactionInterceptor); } interceptors.add(new CommandContextInterceptor(commandContextFactory, this)); return interceptors; }
这段代码可以看出,activiti提供了默认的命令拦截器,其顺序是LogInterceptor->TransactionInterceptor->CommandContextInterceptor,也能看出activiti提供了配置自定义的拦截器可能,customPreCommandInterceptors和customPostCommandInterceptors,只需要set进入配置就行了。一个在默认拦截器之前,一个在之后,最后一个添加的就是commandInvoker。最终的命令拦截器链就是customPreCommandInterceptors->LogInterceptor->TransactionInterceptor->CommandContextInterceptor->customPostCommandInterceptors->commandInvoker。
最后一步初始化命令执行器代码包括了构建拦截器链:
protected void initCommandExecutor() { if (commandExecutor==null) { CommandInterceptor first = initInterceptorChain(commandInterceptors); commandExecutor = new CommandExecutorImpl(getDefaultCommandConfig(), first); } } protected CommandInterceptor initInterceptorChain(List<CommandInterceptor> chain) { if (chain==null || chain.isEmpty()) { throw new ActivitiException("invalid command interceptor chain configuration: "+chain); } for (int i = 0; i < chain.size()-1; i++) { chain.get(i).setNext( chain.get(i+1) ); } return chain.get(0); }
最后我们看一看默认提供的三个拦截器都做了一些什么操作(不包括最后CommandInvoker,上面已给出)。
LogInterceptor.execute():
if (!log.isDebugEnabled()) { // do nothing here if we cannot log return next.execute(config, command); } log.debug("\n"); log.debug("--- starting {} --------------------------------------------------------", command.getClass().getSimpleName()); try { return next.execute(config, command); } finally { log.debug("--- {} finished --------------------------------------------------------", command.getClass().getSimpleName()); log.debug("\n"); }
TransactionInterceptor.execute()(这是一个抽象的方法,需要自己实现,下面以与spring集成后所给的实现为例)
protected CommandInterceptor createTransactionInterceptor() { if (transactionManager == null) { throw new ActivitiException("transactionManager is required property for SpringProcessEngineConfiguration, use " + StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration.class.getName() + " otherwise"); } return new SpringTransactionInterceptor(transactionManager); }
SpringTransactionInterceptor:
public class SpringTransactionInterceptor extends AbstractCommandInterceptor { private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SpringTransactionInterceptor.class); protected PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager; public SpringTransactionInterceptor(PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager) { this.transactionManager = transactionManager; } public <T> T execute(final CommandConfig config, final Command<T> command) { LOGGER.debug("Running command with propagation {}", config.getTransactionPropagation()); TransactionTemplate transactionTemplate = new TransactionTemplate(transactionManager); transactionTemplate.setPropagationBehavior(getPropagation(config)); T result = transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback<T>() { public T doInTransaction(TransactionStatus status) { return next.execute(config, command); } }); return result; } private int getPropagation(CommandConfig config) { switch (config.getTransactionPropagation()) { case NOT_SUPPORTED: return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_NOT_SUPPORTED; case REQUIRED: return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_REQUIRED; case REQUIRES_NEW: return TransactionTemplate.PROPAGATION_REQUIRES_NEW; default: throw new ActivitiIllegalArgumentException("Unsupported transaction propagation: " + config.getTransactionPropagation()); } } }
最后一个CommandContextInterceptor.execute():
public <T> T execute(CommandConfig config, Command<T> command) { CommandContext context = Context.getCommandContext(); boolean contextReused = false; // We need to check the exception, because the transaction can be in a rollback state, // and some other command is being fired to compensate (eg. decrementing job retries) if (!config.isContextReusePossible() || context == null || context.getException() != null) { context = commandContextFactory.createCommandContext(command); } else { log.debug("Valid context found. Reusing it for the current command '{}'", command.getClass().getCanonicalName()); contextReused = true; } try { // Push on stack Context.setCommandContext(context); Context.setProcessEngineConfiguration(processEngineConfiguration); return next.execute(config, command); } catch (Exception e) { context.exception(e); } finally { try { if (!contextReused) { context.close(); } } finally { // Pop from stack Context.removeCommandContext(); Context.removeProcessEngineConfiguration(); Context.removeBpmnOverrideContext(); } } return null; }
这里值得注意的是context.close()方法,这里将调用session.flush();,真正执行完成数据库操作。Context也是一个比较重要的类,有兴趣可以研究一下。
