在JavaEE的程序中,我们往往要配置web.xml文件。这个文件的重要性,我就不说了。说说它与Spring框架结合时,所需要配置的几个类吧。 1.org.springframework.web.util.IntrospectorCleanupListener. 在web.xml中,我们常常的配置如下。
org.springframework.web.util.IntrospectorCleanupListener
它的主要作用是负责处理因JavaBean Inteceptor的使用而引起的缓存泄露问题。Spring 的文档中,对这个类进行了详细的说明(Spring 3.x)。
* Listener that flushes the JDK's {@link java.beans.Introspector JavaBeans Introspector}* cache on web app shutdown. 在web.xml文件中,注册这个监听器保证恰到地释放web应用程序类加载及它所加载的
* 类(Register this listener in your web.xml
to) guarantee proper release of
* the web application class loader and its loaded classes.
** If the JavaBeans Introspector has been used to analyze application classes,* the system-level Introspector cache will hold a hard reference to those classes.* Consequently, those classes and the web application class loader will not be* garbage-collected on web app shutdown! This listener performs proper cleanup,* to allow for garbage collection to take effect.**
Unfortunately, the only way to clean up the Introspector is to flush* the entire cache, as there is no way to specifically determine the* application's classes referenced there. This will remove cached* introspection results for all other applications in the server too.**
Note that this listener is not necessary when using Spring's beans* infrastructure within the application, as Spring's own introspection results* cache will immediately flush an analyzed class from the JavaBeans Introspector* cache and only hold a cache within the application's own ClassLoader.** Although Spring itself does not create JDK Introspector leaks, note that this* listener should nevertheless be used in scenarios where the Spring framework classes* themselves reside in a 'common' ClassLoader (such as the system ClassLoader).* In such a scenario, this listener will properly clean up Spring's introspection cache.**
Application classes hardly ever need to use the JavaBeans Introspector* directly, so are normally not the cause of Introspector resource leaks.* Rather, many libraries and frameworks do not clean up the Introspector:* e.g. Struts and Quartz.(当然啦,许多库包和框架不会清理拦截器,如Struts 和 Quartz)* 既然这样,这样一个简单的缓存泄露会引起整个web引用程序的类加载不能被垃圾回收器回收。
* Note that a single such Introspector leak will cause the entire web* app class loader to not get garbage collected! This has the consequence that* you will see all the application's static class resources (like singletons)* around after web app shutdown, which is not the fault of those classes!**
This listener should be registered as the first one in web.xml
,* before any application listeners such as Spring's ContextLoaderListener.* This allows the listener to take full effect at the right time of the lifecycle.
正如文档中所说的,“在web.xml中,这个监听器应该在任何应用程序监听器,比如Spring's ContextLoaderListener之前,作为第一个监听器被注册(上面文档最后一段)。在应用程序运行周期的正确时刻,让监听器充分发挥作用” 。
2.org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener. 这个类是程序引导监听器去开启和关闭Spring的Root,它注册在web.xml文件中的org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener配置之后。
3.org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener. 它显露Request给当前的线程(Current Thread). 这个类主要用作第三方servlet,例如the JSF FacesServlet。在Spring自己的web支持下, DispatcherServlet的处理是相当地有能力的
