WEB项目启动时候,加载web.xml,spring会在web.xml中配置启动监听器和启动参数

<context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            classpath:spring-*.xml
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

web容器启动加载spring容器顺序

1. 执行web.xml中的ContextLoaderListener监听器
2. 初始化ContextLoaderListener中的contextInitialized方法 

/**
	 * Initialize the root web application context.
	 */
	public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
		this.contextLoader = createContextLoader();
		if (this.contextLoader == null) {
			this.contextLoader = this;
		}
		this.contextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
	}

调用父类的initWebApplicationContext

在initwebapplicationContext中调用了三个方法

创建WebApplicationContext对象 

public WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
		if (servletContext.getAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE) != null) {
			throw new IllegalStateException(
					"Cannot initialize context because there is already a root application context present - " +
					"check whether you have multiple ContextLoader* definitions in your web.xml!");
		}

		Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(ContextLoader.class);
		servletContext.log("Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext");
		if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
			logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization started");
		}
		long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

		try {
			// Store context in local instance variable, to guarantee that
			// it is available on ServletContext shutdown.
			if (this.context == null) {
				this.context = createWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
			}
			if (this.context instanceof ConfigurableWebApplicationContext) {
				configureAndRefreshWebApplicationContext((ConfigurableWebApplicationContext)this.context, servletContext);
			}
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, this.context);

			ClassLoader ccl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
			if (ccl == ContextLoader.class.getClassLoader()) {
				currentContext = this.context;
			}
			else if (ccl != null) {
				currentContextPerThread.put(ccl, this.context);
			}

			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
				logger.debug("Published root WebApplicationContext as ServletContext attribute with name [" +
						WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE + "]");
			}
			if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
				long elapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
				logger.info("Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in " + elapsedTime + " ms");
			}

			return this.context;
		}
		catch (RuntimeException ex) {
			logger.error("Context initialization failed", ex);
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, ex);
			throw ex;
		}
		catch (Error err) {
			logger.error("Context initialization failed", err);
			servletContext.setAttribute(WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, err);
			throw err;
		}
	}

加载context-param中配置的spring配置文件

初始化配置文件中及创建配置文件中的bean

	/**
	 * Name of servlet context parameter (i.e., {@value}) that can specify the
	 * config location for the root context, falling back to the implementation's
	 * default otherwise.
	 * @see org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext#DEFAULT_CONFIG_LOCATION
	 */
	public static final String CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM = "contextConfigLocation";

———————————————————————————————————————完美分割线

web容器停止时候,停止webapplicationContent容器

	/**
	 * Close the root web application context.
	 */
	public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
		if (this.contextLoader != null) {
			this.contextLoader.closeWebApplicationContext(event.getServletContext());
		}
		ContextCleanupListener.cleanupAttributes(event.getServletContext());
	}
