Spring 中的FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX

前言

在Spring中，用于访问Spring bean容器的根接口BeanFactory下有一个成员变量

public interface BeanFactory {
	/**
	 * Used to dereference a {@link FactoryBean} instance and distinguish it from
	 * beans <i>created</i> by the FactoryBean. For example, if the bean named
	 * {@code myJndiObject} is a FactoryBean, getting {@code &myJndiObject}
	 * will return the factory, not the instance returned by the factory.
	 */
	String FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX = "&";
}

弄不太明白这有什么作用，new 一个ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

在哪里有用到

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext classPathXmlApplicationContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");

通过查看ClassPathXmlApplicationContext的类图（show diagram），最终有继承 AbstractApplicationContext(对ApplicationContext接口的抽象实现，简单实现通用上下文方法，使用模板方法设计模式，需要具体的子类来实现抽象方法)

在AbstractApplicationContext中有一个finishBeanFactoryInitialization方法

/**
	 * Finish the initialization of this context's bean factory,
	 * initializing all remaining singleton beans.
	 */
protected void finishBeanFactoryInitialization(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
    // Initialize conversion service for this context.
    if (beanFactory.containsBean(CONVERSION_SERVICE_BEAN_NAME) &&
        beanFactory.isTypeMatch(CONVERSION_SERVICE_BEAN_NAME, ConversionService.class)) {
        beanFactory.setConversionService(
            beanFactory.getBean(CONVERSION_SERVICE_BEAN_NAME, ConversionService.class));
    }

    // Register a default embedded value resolver if no bean post-processor
    // (such as a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean) registered any before:
    // at this point, primarily for resolution in annotation attribute values.
    if (!beanFactory.hasEmbeddedValueResolver()) {
        beanFactory.addEmbeddedValueResolver(strVal -> getEnvironment().resolvePlaceholders(strVal));
    }

    // Initialize LoadTimeWeaverAware beans early to allow for registering their transformers early.
    String[] weaverAwareNames = beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(LoadTimeWeaverAware.class, false, false);
    for (String weaverAwareName : weaverAwareNames) {
        getBean(weaverAwareName);
    }

    // Stop using the temporary ClassLoader for type matching.
    beanFactory.setTempClassLoader(null);

    // Allow for caching all bean definition metadata, not expecting further changes.
    beanFactory.freezeConfiguration();

    // Instantiate all remaining (non-lazy-init) singletons.
    beanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons();
}

查看 beanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons()的具体实现方法

在preInstantiateSingletons方法中 获取Bean的时候就用到了 FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX

@Override
public void preInstantiateSingletons() throws BeansException {
    if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
        logger.trace("Pre-instantiating singletons in " + this);
    }

    // Iterate over a copy to allow for init methods which in turn register new bean definitions.
    // While this may not be part of the regular factory bootstrap, it does otherwise work fine.
    List<String> beanNames = new ArrayList<>(this.beanDefinitionNames);

    // Trigger initialization of all non-lazy singleton beans...
    for (String beanName : beanNames) {
        RootBeanDefinition bd = getMergedLocalBeanDefinition(beanName);
        if (!bd.isAbstract() && bd.isSingleton() && !bd.isLazyInit()) {
            if (isFactoryBean(beanName)) {
                // 这里获取Bean的时候就用到了 FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX
                Object bean = getBean(FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX + beanName);
                if (bean instanceof FactoryBean) {
                    final FactoryBean<?> factory = (FactoryBean<?>) bean;
                    boolean isEagerInit;
                    if (System.getSecurityManager() != null && factory instanceof SmartFactoryBean) {
                        isEagerInit = AccessController.doPrivileged((PrivilegedAction<Boolean>)
                                                                    ((SmartFactoryBean<?>) factory)::isEagerInit,
                                                                    getAccessControlContext());
                    }
                    else {
                        isEagerInit = (factory instanceof SmartFactoryBean &&
                                       ((SmartFactoryBean<?>) factory).isEagerInit());
                    }
                    if (isEagerInit) {
                        getBean(beanName);
                    }
                }
            }
            else {
                getBean(beanName);
            }
        }
    }

    // Trigger post-initialization callback for all applicable beans...
    for (String beanName : beanNames) {
        Object singletonInstance = getSingleton(beanName);
        if (singletonInstance instanceof SmartInitializingSingleton) {
            final SmartInitializingSingleton smartSingleton = (SmartInitializingSingleton) singletonInstance;
            if (System.getSecurityManager() != null) {
                AccessController.doPrivileged((PrivilegedAction<Object>) () -> {
                    smartSingleton.afterSingletonsInstantiated();
                    return null;
                }, getAccessControlContext());
            }
            else {
                smartSingleton.afterSingletonsInstantiated();
            }
        }
    }
}

说明

FACTORY_BEAN_PREFIX 在Spring当中，有一个叫做FactoryBean的接口，这个类有一个getObject() 这样的方法。这个方法会返回一个对象实例。

对于这个接口的实现类而言，通过BeanFactory的getBean()返回的Bean，到底是实现类本身的实例，还是getObject()的返回实例 就在于有没有前缀。

如果有前缀，就返回FactoryBean

如果没有前缀，就返回getObject()返回的实例。
