上文说到Routing Module将控制权交给了MvcHandler,因为MvcHandler实现了IHttpAsyncHandler接口,因此紧接着就会调用BeginProcessRequest方法,这个方法首先会进行一些Trust Level之类的安全检测,暂且不谈,然后会调用ProcessRequestInit方法(有删节):
private void ProcessRequestInit(HttpContextBase httpContext, out IController controller, out IControllerFactory factory) { // Get the controller type string controllerName = RequestContext.RouteData.GetRequiredString("controller"); // Instantiate the controller and call Execute factory = ControllerBuilder.GetControllerFactory(); controller = factory.CreateController(RequestContext, controllerName); if (controller == null) { throw new InvalidOperationException( String.Format( CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, MvcResources.ControllerBuilder_FactoryReturnedNull, factory.GetType(), controllerName)); } }
首先会获得controller的名字,然后会实例化controller,这里采用了抽象工厂的模式,首先利用ControllerBuilder获得一个IControllerFactory的实例,ControllerBuilder采用Dependency Injection来实例化IControllerFactory,关于MVC中DI的实现以后另文介绍,在默认情况下,ControllerBuilder会返回一个实例。接着调用CreateController方法:
public virtual IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName) { Type controllerType = GetControllerType(requestContext, controllerName); IController controller = DefaultControllerFactoryGetControllerInstance(requestContext, controllerType); return controller; }
方法分为两步,先获得类型,再获得实例:
protected internal virtual Type GetControllerType(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName) { // first search in the current route's namespace collection object routeNamespacesObj; Type match; if (requestContext != null && requestContext.RouteData.DataTokens.TryGetValue("Namespaces", out routeNamespacesObj)) { IEnumerable<string> routeNamespaces = routeNamespacesObj as IEnumerable<string>; if (routeNamespaces != null && routeNamespaces.Any()) { HashSet<string> nsHash = new HashSet<string>(routeNamespaces, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase); match = GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces(requestContext.RouteData.Route, controllerName, nsHash); // the UseNamespaceFallback key might not exist, in which case its value is implicitly "true" if (match != null || false.Equals(requestContext.RouteData.DataTokens["UseNamespaceFallback"])) { // got a match or the route requested we stop looking return match; } } } // then search in the application's default namespace collection if (ControllerBuilder.DefaultNamespaces.Count > 0) { HashSet<string> nsDefaults = new HashSet<string>(ControllerBuilder.DefaultNamespaces, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase); match = GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces(requestContext.RouteData.Route, controllerName, nsDefaults); if (match != null) { return match; } } // if all else fails, search every namespace return GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces(requestContext.RouteData.Route, controllerName, null /* namespaces */); }
DefaultControllerFactory在根据路由信息查找对应Controller的类型的时候,首先判断DataToken中有没有Namespace,然后调用GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces 方法查找Controller对应的类。先看下这个方法:
private Type GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces(RouteBase route, string controllerName, HashSet<string> namespaces) { // Once the master list of controllers has been created we can quickly index into it ControllerTypeCache.EnsureInitialized(BuildManager); ICollection<Type> matchingTypes = ControllerTypeCache.GetControllerTypes(controllerName, namespaces); switch (matchingTypes.Count) { case 0: // no matching types return null; case 1: // single matching type return matchingTypes.First(); default: // multiple matching types throw CreateAmbiguousControllerException(route, controllerName, matchingTypes); } }
ASP.NET中大量的用到了反射,因此也需要把这些反射出的类进行缓存以提高性能,首先看下EnsureInitialized这个比较有意思的方法,这个方法的参数BuildManager经过了层层包装,其实只是System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager的一个实例。
public void EnsureInitialized(IBuildManager buildManager) { if (_cache == null) { lock (_lockObj) { if (_cache == null) { List<Type> controllerTypes = TypeCacheUtil.GetFilteredTypesFromAssemblies(_typeCacheName, IsControllerType, buildManager); var groupedByName = controllerTypes.GroupBy( t => t.Name.Substring(0, t.Name.Length - "Controller".Length), StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase); _cache = groupedByName.ToDictionary( g => g.Key, g => g.ToLookup(t => t.Namespace ?? String.Empty, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase), StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase); } } } }
首先TypeCacheUtil获得所有是Controller的类型。TypeCacheUtil在前文已经出现过,用来获取所有的AreaRegistration的子类型,这里仔细看下这个方法:
public static List<Type> GetFilteredTypesFromAssemblies(string cacheName, Predicate<Type> predicate, IBuildManager buildManager) { TypeCacheSerializer serializer = new TypeCacheSerializer(); // first, try reading from the cache on disk List<Type> matchingTypes = ReadTypesFromCache(cacheName, predicate, buildManager, serializer); if (matchingTypes != null) { return matchingTypes; } // if reading from the cache failed, enumerate over every assembly looking for a matching type matchingTypes = FilterTypesInAssemblies(buildManager, predicate).ToList(); // finally, save the cache back to disk SaveTypesToCache(cacheName, matchingTypes, buildManager, serializer); return matchingTypes; }
这个方法会从缓存中读取controller类型的名字,缓存是存在一个文本文件中的,名字就是cacheName,在这里是Mvc-ControllerTypeCache.xml.这个文件的内容是如下样子的:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--This file is automatically generated. Please do not modify the contents of this file.-->
<typeCache lastModified="11/4/2012 8:52:26 PM" mvcVersionId="a5d58bd9-3a4a-4d1d-a7ce-9cef11e4c380">
<assembly name="MVCApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null">
<module versionId="c7b3d847-7853-44f3-87d0-9cc040c4cb53">
<type>MVCApp.Areas.Admin.Controllers.HomeController</type>
<type>MVCApp.Controllers.HomeController</type>
</module>
</assembly>
</typeCache>
再看下参数predicate,这个参数是用来筛选哪些类是Controller,这个方法的实现也比较有意思:
internal static bool IsControllerType(Type t) { return t != null && t.IsPublic && t.Name.EndsWith("Controller", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && !t.IsAbstract && typeof(IController).IsAssignableFrom(t); }
这就说明一个类如果要能够成为Controller, 必须以Controller结尾,必须是public的,必须实现IController接口。找到所有的Controller类之后,再回到EnsureInitialized方法中,为了方便查找,会对这些类进行索引,首先按照Controller的名字进行分组,然后再按照Namespace分组。下面很快可以看到,这样分组之后可以很方便的找到需要的Controller。
回到 GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces 方法,这时候缓存中已经有索引好的Controller的信息了,接着就是在缓存中根据Controller的名字查找Controller,GetControllerTypes实现了这个过程,过程并不复杂,但是细节不少,具体代码不贴出,过程是:首先查出controller名字对应的Lookup,再检查namespace是否符合。如果GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces中的参数namespace为空或者没有内容,那么就只判断controller的名字。查找的结果有三种,只有一个Controller的type满足,那么就返回这个类型,如果没有找到则返回null,如果找到了多个就会抛出异常。
回到GetControllerType方法,如果GetControllerTypeWithinNamespaces 返回了null,并且UseNamespaceFallback 设为true,那么会进行下一步的搜索,否则返回null。下一步的搜索就是在项目的DefaultNamespace下进行搜索,对于没有Namespace的RouteData,默认就是在这里搜索的。最后在所有的namespace中搜索。至此,根据controller名字查找controller类的type完成了。
接下来就要实例化这个类型。实例化的方法简单些只需要调用
Activator.CreateInstance(controllerType);
就可以了。但是ASP.NET MVC在这里使用了较为复杂的DI机制,在默认情况下,它调用的是DefaultDependencyResolver的GetService方法,这个方法最终也仅仅是调用了Activator.CreateInstance方法。关于MVC中的DI机制,这里不多做分析,另文叙述。 至此,一个Controller类已经被构造出来了。下文介绍Action的激活。
