Spring boot ConditionalOnClass原理解析

Spring boot如何自动加载

对于Springboot的ConditionalOnClass注解一直非常好奇，原因是我们的jar包里面可能没有对应的class，而使用ConditionalOnClass标注的Configuration类又import了这个类，那么如果想加载Configuration类，就会报ClassNotFoundException,那么又如何取到这个类上的注解呢

SpringFactoriesLoader获取"META-INF/spring.factories"路径下的所有文件，解析出需要自动加载的类
判断的逻辑为配置中的org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=xxx
xxx即为我们配置的需要自动加载的@Configuration标注的类

解析出需要加载的所有Configuration类，无论该类是否被ConditionOnClass注解声明，都使用OnClassCondition类进行match,判断是否需要加载当前类

做这个解析有点耗时，spring boot将筛选出了所有Configuration类数目的一半，单独放到另外一个线程中执行，这样相当于并发两个线程解析

可以参照OnClassCondition类的getOutcomes方法

具体执行解析操作的类为StandardOutcomesResolver，方法：resolveOutcomes()

以Gson自动配置类org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.gson.GsonAutoConfiguration 为例

package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.gson;

import com.google.gson.Gson;

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnClass;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnMissingBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

/**
 * {@link EnableAutoConfiguration Auto-configuration} for Gson.
 *
 * @author David Liu
 * @since 1.2.0
 */
@Configuration
@ConditionalOnClass(Gson.class)
public class GsonAutoConfiguration {

	@Bean
	@ConditionalOnMissingBean
	public Gson gson() {
		return new Gson();
	}

}

假如当前classpath下并没有引入Gson类的jar包

	private ConditionOutcome[] getOutcomes(final String[] autoConfigurationClasses,
			int start, int end, AutoConfigurationMetadata autoConfigurationMetadata) {
		ConditionOutcome[] outcomes = new ConditionOutcome[end - start];
		for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
			String autoConfigurationClass = autoConfigurationClasses[i];  //GsonAutoConfiguration类的字符串
			Set<String> candidates = autoConfigurationMetadata
					.getSet(autoConfigurationClass, "ConditionalOnClass");  //获取当前class上的ConditionOnClass注解配置
			if (candidates != null) {
				outcomes[i - start] = getOutcome(candidates);
			}
		}
		return outcomes;
	}

AutoConfigurationMetadataLoader类将加载META-INF/spring-autoconfigure-metadata.properties下所有的配置，如果你使用了ConditionalOnClass注解，需要写到文件中，如

	org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.elasticsearch.jest.JestAutoConfiguration.ConditionalOnClass=io.searchbox.client.JestClient

这样Set candidates = autoConfigurationMetadata.getSet就能获取到需要判断ConditionalOnclass有哪些类了，实际上上述过程是非常快速的。
下面的速度会明显变慢，原因是将根据上述执行结果，找出对应的Class是否在classpath*下可以找到

	private ConditionOutcome getOutcome(Set<String> candidates) {
			try {
				List<String> missing = getMatches(candidates, MatchType.MISSING,
						this.beanClassLoader);
				if (!missing.isEmpty()) {
					return ConditionOutcome.noMatch(
							ConditionMessage.forCondition(ConditionalOnClass.class)
									.didNotFind("required class", "required classes")
									.items(Style.QUOTE, missing));
				}
			}
			catch (Exception ex) {
				// We'll get another chance later
			}
			return null;
		}

	}

使用MatchType.MISSING来判断，如果不为空，则说明缺少这个类了。

	private enum MatchType {

		PRESENT {

			@Override
			public boolean matches(String className, ClassLoader classLoader) {
				return isPresent(className, classLoader);
			}

		},

		MISSING {

			@Override
			public boolean matches(String className, ClassLoader classLoader) {
				return !isPresent(className, classLoader);
			}

		};

		private static boolean isPresent(String className, ClassLoader classLoader) {
			if (classLoader == null) {
				classLoader = ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader();
			}
			try {
				forName(className, classLoader);
				return true;
			}
			catch (Throwable ex) {
				return false;
			}
		}

		private static Class<?> forName(String className, ClassLoader classLoader)
				throws ClassNotFoundException {
			if (classLoader != null) {
				return classLoader.loadClass(className);
			}
			return Class.forName(className);
		}

		public abstract boolean matches(String className, ClassLoader classLoader);

	}	

最终回到了原始的方法，调用classLoader.loadClass(className)来判断类是否在classpath下，加载类相对于内存计算，比较耗时，这也是为什么需要再开一个线程和主线程一起工作的原因,使用Thread.join()来等待线程结束，并获取最终结果

延伸

既然加载ConfigurationBean时，用ClassNotFound就能发现对应的类没有在classpath下，又何必多此一举，绕这么大个弯来发现没有对应的class呢？

• 原因是ConditionalOnClass还支持输入字符串类型的class name，在Configuration中可以面向接口编程的方式来生成bean

• Spring boot还提供了类似ConditionalOnBean的注解，有可能一个class在classpath下，而不是spring里面的bean；

  @Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  @Documented
  @Conditional(OnClassCondition.class)
  public @interface ConditionalOnClass {

    /**
     * The classes that must be present. Since this annotation is parsed by loading class
     * bytecode, it is safe to specify classes here that may ultimately not be on the
     * classpath, only if this annotation is directly on the affected component and
     * <b>not</b> if this annotation is used as a composed, meta-annotation. In order to
     * use this annotation as a meta-annotation, only use the {@link #name} attribute.
     * @return the classes that must be present
     */
    Class<?>[] value() default {};
  
    /**
     * The classes names that must be present.
     * @return the class names that must be present.
     */
    String[] name() default {};
  

  }
