1、什么是SPI?

   SPI 全称为 (Service Provider Interface) ,是JDK内置的一种服务提供发现机制。SPI是一种动态替换发现的机制, 比如有个接口,想运行时动态的给它添加实现,你只需要添加一个实现。我们经常遇到的就是java.sql.Driver接口,其他不同厂商可以针对同一接口做出不同的实现,mysql和postgresql都有不同的实现提供给用户,而Java的SPI机制可以为某个接口寻找服务实现。

​ 如上图所示,接口对应的抽象SPI接口;实现方实现SPI接口;调用方依赖SPI接口。

​ SPI接口的定义在调用方,在概念上更依赖调用方;组织上位于调用方所在的包中,实现位于独立的包中。

​ 当服务的提供者提供了一种接口的实现之后,需要在classpath下的META-INF/services/目录里创建一个以服务接口命名的文件,这个文件里的内容就是这个接口的具体的实现类。当其他的程序需要这个服务的时候,就可以通过查找这个jar包(一般都是以jar包做依赖)的META-INF/services/中的配置文件,配置文件中有接口的具体实现类名,可以根据这个类名进行加载实例化,就可以使用该服务了。JDK中查找服务实现的工具类是:java.util.ServiceLoader。

2、SPI的用途

​ 数据库DriverManager、Spring、ConfigurableBeanFactory等都用到了SPI机制,这里以数据库DriverManager为例,看一下其实现的内幕。

​ DriverManager是jdbc里管理和注册不同数据库driver的工具类。针对一个数据库,可能会存在着不同的数据库驱动实现。我们在使用特定的驱动实现时,不希望修改现有的代码,而希望通过一个简单的配置就可以达到效果。 在使用mysql驱动的时候,会有一个疑问,DriverManager是怎么获得某确定驱动类的?我们在运用Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")加载mysql驱动后,就会执行其中的静态代码把driver注册到DriverManager中,以便后续的使用。

Driver实现
package com.mysql.jdbc;

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class Driver extends NonRegisteringDriver implements java.sql.Driver {
    public Driver() throws SQLException {
    }

    static {
        try {
            DriverManager.registerDriver(new Driver());
        } catch (SQLException var1) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Can't register driver!");
        }
    }
}

驱动的类的静态代码块中,调用DriverManager的注册驱动方法new一个自己当参数传给驱动管理器。

Mysql DriverManager实现
    /**
     * Load the initial JDBC drivers by checking the System property
     * jdbc.properties and then use the {@code ServiceLoader} mechanism
     */
    static {
        loadInitialDrivers();
        println("JDBC DriverManager initialized");
    }

可以看到其内部的静态代码块中有一个loadInitialDrivers方法,loadInitialDrivers用法用到了上文提到的spi工具类ServiceLoader:

private static void loadInitialDrivers() {
        String drivers;
        try {
            drivers = AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<String>() {
                public String run() {
                    return System.getProperty("jdbc.drivers");
                }
            });
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            drivers = null;
        }
        // If the driver is packaged as a Service Provider, load it.
        // Get all the drivers through the classloader
        // exposed as a java.sql.Driver.class service.
        // ServiceLoader.load() replaces the sun.misc.Providers()

        AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Void>() {
            public Void run() {

                ServiceLoader<Driver> loadedDrivers = ServiceLoader.load(Driver.class);
                Iterator<Driver> driversIterator = loadedDrivers.iterator();

                /* Load these drivers, so that they can be instantiated.
                 * It may be the case that the driver class may not be there
                 * i.e. there may be a packaged driver with the service class
                 * as implementation of java.sql.Driver but the actual class
                 * may be missing. In that case a java.util.ServiceConfigurationError
                 * will be thrown at runtime by the VM trying to locate
                 * and load the service.
                 *
                 * Adding a try catch block to catch those runtime errors
                 * if driver not available in classpath but it's
                 * packaged as service and that service is there in classpath.
                 */
                try{
                    while(driversIterator.hasNext()) {
                        driversIterator.next();
                    }
                } catch(Throwable t) {
                // Do nothing
                }
                return null;
            }
        });
    println("DriverManager.initialize: jdbc.drivers = " + drivers);

        if (drivers == null || drivers.equals("")) {
            return;
        }
        String[] driversList = drivers.split(":");
        println("number of Drivers:" + driversList.length);
        for (String aDriver : driversList) {
            try {
                println("DriverManager.Initialize: loading " + aDriver);
                Class.forName(aDriver, true,
                        ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                println("DriverManager.Initialize: load failed: " + ex);
            }
        }

先查找jdbc.drivers属性的值,然后通过SPI机制查找驱动

public final class ServiceLoader<S>
    implements Iterable<S>
{

    private static final String PREFIX = "META-INF/services/";
private boolean hasNextService() {
            if (nextName != null) {
                return true;
            }
            if (configs == null) {
                try {
                    String fullName = PREFIX + service.getName();
                    if (loader == null)
                        configs = ClassLoader.getSystemResources(fullName);
                    else
                        configs = loader.getResources(fullName);
                } catch (IOException x) {
                    fail(service, "Error locating configuration files", x);
                }
            }
            while ((pending == null) || !pending.hasNext()) {
                if (!configs.hasMoreElements()) {
                    return false;
                }
                pending = parse(service, configs.nextElement());
            }
            nextName = pending.next();
            return true;
        }

可以看到加载META-INF/services/ 文件夹下类名为文件名(这里相当于Driver.class.getName())的资源,然后将其加载到虚拟机。

注释有这么一句“Load these drivers, so that they can be instantiated.” 意思是加载SPI扫描到的驱动来触发他们的初始化。即触发他们的static代码块

/**
     * Registers the given driver with the {@code DriverManager}.
     * A newly-loaded driver class should call
     * the method {@code registerDriver} to make itself
     * known to the {@code DriverManager}. If the driver is currently
     * registered, no action is taken.
     *
     * @param driver the new JDBC Driver that is to be registered with the
     *               {@code DriverManager}
     * @param da     the {@code DriverAction} implementation to be used when
     *               {@code DriverManager#deregisterDriver} is called
     * @exception SQLException if a database access error occurs
     * @exception NullPointerException if {@code driver} is null
     * @since 1.8
     */
    public static synchronized void registerDriver(java.sql.Driver driver,
            DriverAction da)
        throws SQLException {

        /* Register the driver if it has not already been added to our list */
        if(driver != null) {
            registeredDrivers.addIfAbsent(new DriverInfo(driver, da));
        } else {
            // This is for compatibility with the original DriverManager
            throw new NullPointerException();
        }

        println("registerDriver: " + driver);

    }

将自己注册到驱动管理器的驱动列表中

public class DriverManager {


    // List of registered JDBC drivers
    private final static CopyOnWriteArrayList<DriverInfo> registeredDrivers = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<>();

当获取连接的时候调用驱动管理器的连接方法从列表中获取。

  @CallerSensitive
    public static Connection getConnection(String url,
        String user, String password) throws SQLException {
        java.util.Properties info = new java.util.Properties();

        if (user != null) {
            info.put("user", user);
        }
        if (password != null) {
            info.put("password", password);
        }

        return (getConnection(url, info, Reflection.getCallerClass()));
    }
 private static Connection getConnection(
        String url, java.util.Properties info, Class<?> caller) throws SQLException {
        /*
         * When callerCl is null, we should check the application's
         * (which is invoking this class indirectly)
         * classloader, so that the JDBC driver class outside rt.jar
         * can be loaded from here.
         */
        ClassLoader callerCL = caller != null ? caller.getClassLoader() : null;
        synchronized(DriverManager.class) {
            // synchronize loading of the correct classloader.
            if (callerCL == null) {
                callerCL = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
            }
        }

        if(url == null) {
            throw new SQLException("The url cannot be null", "08001");
        }

        println("DriverManager.getConnection(\"" + url + "\")");

        // Walk through the loaded registeredDrivers attempting to make a connection.
        // Remember the first exception that gets raised so we can reraise it.
        SQLException reason = null;

        for(DriverInfo aDriver : registeredDrivers) {
            // If the caller does not have permission to load the driver then
            // skip it.
            if(isDriverAllowed(aDriver.driver, callerCL)) {
                try {
                    println("    trying " + aDriver.driver.getClass().getName());
                    Connection con = aDriver.driver.connect(url, info);
                    if (con != null) {
                        // Success!
                        println("getConnection returning " + aDriver.driver.getClass().getName());
                        return (con);
                    }
                } catch (SQLException ex) {
                    if (reason == null) {
                        reason = ex;
                    }
                }

            } else {

            }

        }

        // if we got here nobody could connect.
        if (reason != null)    {
            println("getConnection failed: " + reason);
            throw reason;
        }

        println("getConnection: no suitable driver found for "+ url);
        throw new SQLException("No suitable driver found for "+ url, "08001");
    }
private static boolean isDriverAllowed(Driver driver, ClassLoader classLoader) {
        boolean result = false;
        if(driver != null) {
            Class<?> aClass = null;
            try {
                aClass =  Class.forName(driver.getClass().getName(), true, classLoader);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                result = false;
            }

             result = ( aClass == driver.getClass() ) ? true : false;
        }

        return result;
    }
