Tomcat session的实现：线程安全与管理

　　本文所说的session是单机版本的session, 事实上在当前的互联网实践中已经不太存在这种定义了。我们主要讨论的是其安全共享的实现，只从理论上来讨论，不必太过在意实用性问题。

　　

1. session 的意义简说

　　大概就是一个会话的的定义，客户端有cookie记录，服务端session定义。用于确定你就是你的一个东西。

　　每个用户在一定范围内共享某个session信息，以实现登录状态，操作的鉴权保持等。

　　我们将会借助tomcat的实现，剖析session管理的一些实现原理。

 

2. tomcat 中 session 什么时候创建？

　　session 信息会在两个地方调用，一是每次请求进来时，框架会尝试去加载原有对应的session信息（不会新建）。二是应用自己调用getSession()时，此时如果不存在session信息，则创建一个新的session对象，代表应用后续会使用此功能。即框架不会自动支持session相关功能，只是在你需要的时候进行辅助操作。

　　

    // case1. 框架自行调用session信息，不会主动创建session
    // org.springframework.web.servlet.support.SessionFlashMapManager#retrieveFlashMaps
    /**
     * Retrieves saved FlashMap instances from the HTTP session, if any.
     */
    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    protected List<FlashMap> retrieveFlashMaps(HttpServletRequest request) {
        HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
        return (session != null ? (List<FlashMap>) session.getAttribute(FLASH_MAPS_SESSION_ATTRIBUTE) : null);
    }
    // case2. 应用主动调用session信息，不存在时会创建新的session, 以满足业务连续性需要
    @GetMapping("sessionTest")
    public Object sessionTest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        // 主动获取session信息
        HttpSession session = request.getSession();
        String sid = session.getId();
        System.out.println("sessionId:" + sid);
        return ResponseInfoBuilderUtil.success(sid);
    }
    

　　在tomcat中，HttpServletRequest的实际类都是 RequestFacade, 所以获取session信息也是以其为入口进行。

    // org.apache.catalina.connector.RequestFacade#getSession()
    @Override
    public HttpSession getSession() {

        if (request == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                            sm.getString("requestFacade.nullRequest"));
        }
        // 如果不存在session则创建一个
        // session 的实现有两种：一是基于内存的实现，二是基于文件的实现。
        return getSession(true);
    }
    @Override
    public HttpSession getSession(boolean create) {

        if (request == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                            sm.getString("requestFacade.nullRequest"));
        }

        if (SecurityUtil.isPackageProtectionEnabled()){
            return AccessController.
                doPrivileged(new GetSessionPrivilegedAction(create));
        } else {
            // RequestFacade 是个外观模式实现，核心请求还是会传递给 Request处理的
            // org.apache.catalina.connector.Request
            return request.getSession(create);
        }
    }
    
    // org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#getSession(boolean)
    /**
     * @return the session associated with this Request, creating one
     * if necessary and requested.
     *
     * @param create Create a new session if one does not exist
     */
    @Override
    public HttpSession getSession(boolean create) {
        // 由 create 字段决定是否需要创建新的session, 如果不存在的话。
        // Session 是tomcat的一个会话实现类，并非对接规范接口类，其会包装一个HttpSession，以便统一交互
        // 因为只有 HttpSession 才是 Servlet 的接口规范，在tomcat中会以 StandardSessionFacade 实现接口，其也是一个外观模式的实现，具体工作由 StandardSession 处理。
        Session session = doGetSession(create);
        if (session == null) {
            return null;
        }
        // 包装 Session 为 HttpSession 规范返回
        return session.getSession();
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#doGetSession
    protected Session doGetSession(boolean create) {

        // There cannot be a session if no context has been assigned yet
        // mappingData.context;
        Context context = getContext();
        if (context == null) {
            return (null);
        }

        // Return the current session if it exists and is valid
        // 此处检查session有效性时，也会做部分清理工作
        if ((session != null) && !session.isValid()) {
            session = null;
        }
        if (session != null) {
            return (session);
        }

        // Return the requested session if it exists and is valid
        // 获取manager 实例，即真正进行 Session 管理的类，其实主要分两种：1. 基于内存；2. 基于文件的持久化；
        Manager manager = context.getManager();
        if (manager == null) {
            return (null);      // Sessions are not supported
        }
        if (requestedSessionId != null) {
            try {
                // 如果不是第一次请求，则会带上服务返回的 sessionId, 就会主动查找原来的session
                // 从 sessions 中查找即可
                session = manager.findSession(requestedSessionId);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                session = null;
            }
            if ((session != null) && !session.isValid()) {
                session = null;
            }
            // 后续请求，每次请求都会更新有效时间
            if (session != null) {
                session.access();
                return (session);
            }
        }

        // Create a new session if requested and the response is not committed
        // 主动请求session时，才会继续后续逻辑
        if (!create) {
            return (null);
        }
        if (response != null
                && context.getServletContext()
                        .getEffectiveSessionTrackingModes()
                        .contains(SessionTrackingMode.COOKIE)
                && response.getResponse().isCommitted()) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(
                    sm.getString("coyoteRequest.sessionCreateCommitted"));
        }

        // Re-use session IDs provided by the client in very limited
        // circumstances.
        String sessionId = getRequestedSessionId();
        if (requestedSessionSSL) {
            // If the session ID has been obtained from the SSL handshake then
            // use it.
        } else if (("/".equals(context.getSessionCookiePath())
                && isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie())) {
            /* This is the common(ish) use case: using the same session ID with
             * multiple web applications on the same host. Typically this is

             */
            if (context.getValidateClientProvidedNewSessionId()) {
                boolean found = false;
                for (Container container : getHost().findChildren()) {
                    Manager m = ((Context) container).getManager();

                        }
                    }
                }
                if (!found) {
                    sessionId = null;
                }
            }
        } else {
            // 当session无效时，需要将原来的seesionId置空，删除并新创建一个使用
            sessionId = null;
        }
        // 创建session, StandardManager -> ManagerBase
        session = manager.createSession(sessionId);

        // Creating a new session cookie based on that session
        if (session != null
                && context.getServletContext()
                        .getEffectiveSessionTrackingModes()
                        .contains(SessionTrackingMode.COOKIE)) {
            // 创建cookie信息，与session对应
            Cookie cookie =
                ApplicationSessionCookieConfig.createSessionCookie(
                        context, session.getIdInternal(), isSecure());
            // 添加到response中，在响应结果一起返回给客户端
            response.addSessionCookieInternal(cookie);
        }

        if (session == null) {
            return null;
        }
        // 每次请求session时，必然刷新激活时间，以便判定会话是否超时
        session.access();
        return session;
    }

　　从上面我们可以看到，session的流程大概是这样的：

　　　　1. 先查找是否有session信息存在，如果有则判断是否失效；
　　　　2. 如果不存在session或已失效，则使用一个新的sessionId（非必须）创建一个session实例；
　　　　3. session创建成功，则将sessionId写入到cookie信息中，以便客户端后续使用；
　　　　4. 每次请求完session,必定刷新下访问时间以续期；

　　session的管理主要有两种实现方式，类图如下：

　　我们先主要以基于内存的实现来理解下session的管理过程。实际上StandardManager基本就依托于 ManagerBase 就实现了Session管理功能，下面我们来看一下其创建session如何？

    // org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase#createSession
    @Override
    public Session createSession(String sessionId) {
        // 首先来个安全限制，允许同时存在多少会话
        // 这个会话实际上代表的是一段时间的有效性，并非真正的用户有效使用在线，所以该值一般要求比预计的数量大些才好
        if ((maxActiveSessions >= 0) &&
                (getActiveSessions() >= maxActiveSessions)) {
            rejectedSessions++;
            throw new TooManyActiveSessionsException(
                    sm.getString("managerBase.createSession.ise"),
                    maxActiveSessions);
        }

        // Recycle or create a Session instance
        // 创建空的session 容器 return new StandardSession(this);
        Session session = createEmptySession();

        // Initialize the properties of the new session and return it
        // 默认30分钟有效期
        session.setNew(true);
        session.setValid(true);
        session.setCreationTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
        session.setMaxInactiveInterval(getContext().getSessionTimeout() * 60);
        String id = sessionId;
        if (id == null) {
            // sessionId 为空时，生成一个，随机id
            id = generateSessionId();
        }
        // 设置sessionId, 注意此处不仅仅是set这么简单，其同时会将自身session注册到全局session管理器中.如下文
        session.setId(id);
        sessionCounter++;

        SessionTiming timing = new SessionTiming(session.getCreationTime(), 0);
        synchronized (sessionCreationTiming) {
            // LinkedList, 添加一个，删除一个？
            sessionCreationTiming.add(timing);
            sessionCreationTiming.poll();
        }
        return (session);

    }
    // org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession#setId
    /**
     * Set the session identifier for this session.
     *
     * @param id The new session identifier
     */
    @Override
    public void setId(String id) {
        setId(id, true);
    }
    @Override
    public void setId(String id, boolean notify) {
        // 如果原来的id不为空，则先删除原有的
        if ((this.id != null) && (manager != null))
            manager.remove(this);

        this.id = id;
        // 再将自身会话注册到 manager 中，即 sessions 中
        if (manager != null)
            manager.add(this);
        // 通知监听者，这是框架该做好的事（扩展点），不过不是本文的方向，忽略
        if (notify) {
            tellNew();
        }
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase#add
    @Override
    public void add(Session session) {
        // 取出 sessionId, 添加到 sessions 容器，统一管理
        sessions.put(session.getIdInternal(), session);
        int size = getActiveSessions();
        // 刷新最大活跃数，使用双重锁优化更新该值
        if( size > maxActive ) {
            synchronized(maxActiveUpdateLock) {
                if( size > maxActive ) {
                    maxActive = size;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    // 查找session也是异常简单，只管从 ConcurrentHashMap 中查找即可
    // org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase#findSession
    @Override
    public Session findSession(String id) throws IOException {
        if (id == null) {
            return null;
        }
        return sessions.get(id);
    }

　　有兴趣的同学可以看一下sessionId的生成算法：主要保证两点：1. 随机性；2.不可重复性；

    // org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase#generateSessionId
    /**
     * Generate and return a new session identifier.
     * @return a new session id
     */
    protected String generateSessionId() {

        String result = null;

        do {
            if (result != null) {
                // Not thread-safe but if one of multiple increments is lost
                // that is not a big deal since the fact that there was any
                // duplicate is a much bigger issue.
                duplicates++;
            }
            // 使用 sessionIdGenerator 生成sessionId
            result = sessionIdGenerator.generateSessionId();
        // 如果已经存在该sessionId, 则重新生成一个
        // session 是一个 ConcurrentHashMap 结构数据
        } while (sessions.containsKey(result));

        return result;
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.util.SessionIdGeneratorBase#generateSessionId
    /**
     * Generate and return a new session identifier.
     */
    @Override
    public String generateSessionId() {
        return generateSessionId(jvmRoute);
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.util.StandardSessionIdGenerator#generateSessionId
    @Override
    public String generateSessionId(String route) {

        byte random[] = new byte[16];
        // 默认16
        int sessionIdLength = getSessionIdLength();

        // Render the result as a String of hexadecimal digits
        // Start with enough space for sessionIdLength and medium route size
        // 创建双倍大小的stringBuilder, 容纳sessionId
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(2 * sessionIdLength + 20);

        int resultLenBytes = 0;
        // 
        while (resultLenBytes < sessionIdLength) {
            getRandomBytes(random);
            for (int j = 0;
            j < random.length && resultLenBytes < sessionIdLength;
            j++) {
                // 转换为16进制
                byte b1 = (byte) ((random[j] & 0xf0) >> 4);
                byte b2 = (byte) (random[j] & 0x0f);
                if (b1 < 10)
                    buffer.append((char) ('0' + b1));
                else
                    buffer.append((char) ('A' + (b1 - 10)));
                if (b2 < 10)
                    buffer.append((char) ('0' + b2));
                else
                    buffer.append((char) ('A' + (b2 - 10)));
                resultLenBytes++;
            }
        }

        if (route != null && route.length() > 0) {
            buffer.append('.').append(route);
        } else {
            String jvmRoute = getJvmRoute();
            if (jvmRoute != null && jvmRoute.length() > 0) {
                buffer.append('.').append(jvmRoute);
            }
        }

        return buffer.toString();
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.util.SessionIdGeneratorBase#getRandomBytes
    protected void getRandomBytes(byte bytes[]) {
        // 使用 random.nextBytes(), 预生成 random
        SecureRandom random = randoms.poll();
        if (random == null) {
            random = createSecureRandom();
        }
        random.nextBytes(bytes);
        // 添加到 ConcurrentLinkedQueue 队列中，事实上该 random 将会被反复循环使用， poll->add
        randoms.add(random);
    }

 

　　创建好session后，需要进行随时的维护：我们看下tomcat是如何刷新访问时间的？可能比预想的简单，其仅是更新一个访问时间字段，再无其他。

    // org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession#access
    /**
     * Update the accessed time information for this session.  This method
     * should be called by the context when a request comes in for a particular
     * session, even if the application does not reference it.
     */
    @Override
    public void access() {
        // 更新访问时间
        this.thisAccessedTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // 访问次数统计，默认不启用
        if (ACTIVITY_CHECK) {
            accessCount.incrementAndGet();
        }

    }

　　最后，还需要看下 HttpSession 是如何被包装返回的？

    // org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession#getSession
    /**
     * Return the <code>HttpSession</code> for which this object
     * is the facade.
     */
    @Override
    public HttpSession getSession() {

        if (facade == null){
            if (SecurityUtil.isPackageProtectionEnabled()){
                final StandardSession fsession = this;
                facade = AccessController.doPrivileged(
                        new PrivilegedAction<StandardSessionFacade>(){
                    @Override
                    public StandardSessionFacade run(){
                        return new StandardSessionFacade(fsession);
                    }
                });
            } else {
                // 直接使用 StandardSessionFacade 包装即可
                facade = new StandardSessionFacade(this);
            }
        }
        return (facade);

    }

　　再最后，要说明的是，整个sessions的管理使用一个 ConcurrentHashMap 来存放全局会话信息，sessionId->session实例。

　　对于同一次http请求中，该session会被存储在当前的Request栈org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#session字段中，从而无需每次深入获取。每个请求进来后，会将session保存在当前的request信息中。  

 

3. 过期session清理？

　　会话不可能不过期，不过期的也不叫会话了。

　　会话过期的触发时机主要有三个：1. 每次进行会话调用时，会主动有效性isValid()验证，此时如果发现过期可以主动清理： 2. 后台定时任务触发清理； 3. 启动或停止应用的时候清理；（这对于非内存式的存储会更有用些）

    // case1. 请求时验证，如前面所述
    // org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#doGetSession
    protected Session doGetSession(boolean create) {
        ... 
        // Return the current session if it exists and is valid
        if ((session != null) && !session.isValid()) {
            session = null;
        }
        if (session != null) {
            return (session);
        }
        ... 
    }
    
    // case2. 后台定时任务清理
    // org.apache.catalina.session.ManagerBase#backgroundProcess
    @Override
    public void backgroundProcess() {
        // 并非每次定时任务到达时都会进行清理，而是要根据其清理频率设置来运行
        // 默认是 6
        count = (count + 1) % processExpiresFrequency;
        if (count == 0)
            processExpires();

　　清理工作的核心任务没猜错，还是进行remove对应的session, 但作为框架必然会设置很多的扩展点，为各监听器接入的机会。这些点的设计，直接关系到整个功能的好坏了。

 

4. session如何保证线程安全？

　　实际是废话，前面已经明显看出，其使用一个 ConcurrentHashMap 作为session的管理容器，而ConcurrentHashMap本身就是线程安全的，自然也就保证了线程安全了。

　　不过需要注意的是，上面的线程安全是指的不同客户端间的数据是互不影响的。然而对于同一个客户端的重复请求，以上实现并未处理，即可能会生成一次session，也可能生成n次session，不过实际影响不大，因为客户端的状态与服务端的状态都是一致的。

 

5. 使用持久化方案的session管理实现

　　默认情况使用内存作为session管理工具，一是方便，二是速度相当快。但是最大的缺点是，其无法实现持久化，即可能停机后信息就丢失了（虽然上面有在停机时做了持久化操作，但仍然是不可靠的）。

　　所以就有了与之相对的存储方案了：Persistent，它有一个基类 PersistentManagerBase 继承了 ManagerBase，做了些特别的实现：

    // 1. session的添加
    // 复用 ManagerBase
    
    // 2. session的查找
    // org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManagerBase#findSession
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     * <p>
     * This method checks the persistence store if persistence is enabled,
     * otherwise just uses the functionality from ManagerBase.
     */
    @Override
    public Session findSession(String id) throws IOException {
        // 复用ManagerBase, 获取Session实例
        Session session = super.findSession(id);
        // OK, at this point, we're not sure if another thread is trying to
        // remove the session or not so the only way around this is to lock it
        // (or attempt to) and then try to get it by this session id again. If
        // the other code ran swapOut, then we should get a null back during
        // this run, and if not, we lock it out so we can access the session
        // safely.
        if(session != null) {
            synchronized(session){
                session = super.findSession(session.getIdInternal());
                if(session != null){
                   // To keep any external calling code from messing up the
                   // concurrency.
                   session.access();
                   session.endAccess();
                }
            }
        }
        if (session != null)
            return session;

        // See if the Session is in the Store
        // 如果内存中找不到会话信息，从存储中查找，这是主要的区别
        session = swapIn(id);
        return session;
    }
    // org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManagerBase#swapIn
    /**

　　可以看到， PersistentManager 的实现还是有点复杂的，主要是在安全性和性能之间的平衡，它和 StandardManager 基本是一种包含关系，即除了要维护内存session外，还要维护外部存储的状态。

　　而现实情况是，既然已经需要自行维护外部状态了，为何还要去使用tomcat自带的session管理呢？而如果站在框架session管理的设计者的角度，这可能也是无可奈何的事。

　　而在我们自己的session管理实现中，一般的思路还是相通的，创建 -> 查找 -> 维持 -> 删除 。 可以基于数据库，缓存，或者其他，而且相信也不是件难事。
