SpringBoot's automatic assembly is the basis for unboxing and the prerequisite for microservices. The main topic this time is to see how it is implemented. We use the source code to grasp the ins and outs of automatic assembly.
1.1. About @SpringBootApplication
When we are writing SpringBoot project, @SpringBootApplication is the most common annotation. We can take a look at the source code:

Here, since there is no scanning package specified, it scans all classes under the same level as the class or the same level package by default. In addition, @SpringBootConfiguration, you can find out through the source code that it is a @Configuration:
/* * Copyright 2012-2016 the original author or authors. * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. * You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. * See the License for the specific language governance permissions and * limitations under the License. */package org.springframework.boot;import java.lang.annotation.Documented;import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;import java.lang.annotation.Retention;import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;import java.lang.annotation.Target;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;/** * Indicates that a class provides Spring Boot application * {@link Configuration @Configuration}.

1.2. @EnableAutoConfiguration
Once this annotation is added, the automatic assembly function will be enabled. To put it simply, Spring will try to find all configured beans under your classpath and then assemble them. Of course, when assembling a bean, it will be initialized according to several (Conditional) customization rules. Let's take a look at its source code:
/* * Copyright 2012-2017 the original author or authors. * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. * You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. * See the License for the specific language governance permissions and * limitations under the License. */package org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure;import java.lang.annotation.Documented;import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;import java.lang.annotation.Inherited;import java.lang.annotation.Retention;import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;import java.lang.annotation.Target;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnBean;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnBean;import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.condition.ConditionalOnMissingBean;import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerFactory;import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.tomcat.TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Conditional;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;import org.springframework.context.annotation.Import;import org.springframework.core.io.support.SpringFactoriesLoader;/** * Enable auto-configuration of the Spring Application Context, attempting to guess and * configure beans that you are likely to need. Auto-configuration classes are usually * applied based on your classpath and what beans you have defined.

But the class is outdated in SpringBoot1.5.X version, so let's take a look at its parent class AutoConfigurationImportSelector:

Let's take a look at the selectImport method of AutoConfigurationImportSelector:
@Override public String[] selectImports(AnnotationMetadata annotationMetadata) { if (!isEnabled(annotationMetadata)) { return NO_IMPORTS; } try { AutoConfigurationMetadata autoConfigurationMetadata = AutoConfigurationMetadataLoader .loadMetadata(this.beanClassLoader); AnnotationAttributes attributes = getAttributes(annotationMetadata); List<String> configurations = getCandidateConfigurations(annotationMetadata, attributes); configurations = removeDuplicates(configurations); configurations = sort(configurations, autoConfigurationMetadata); Set<String> excclusions = getExclusions(annotationMetadata, attributes); checkExcludedClasses(configurations, exclus); configurations.removeAll(exclusions); configurations = filter(configurations, autoConfigurationMetadata); fireAutoConfigurationImportEvents(configurations, excclusions); return configurations.toArray(new String[configurations.size()]); } catch (IOException ex) { throw new IllegalStateException(ex); } }
At the beginning, this method will first determine whether to perform automatic assembly, and then read the relevant properties of metadata and metadata from META-INF/spring-autoconfigure-metadata.properties, and then call the getCandidateConfigurations method:
/** * Return the auto-configuration class names that should be considered. By default * this method will load candidates using {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} with * {@link #getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass()}. * @param metadata the source metadata * @param attributes the {@link #getAttributes(AnnotationMetadata) annotation * attributes} * @return a list of candidate configurations */ protected List<String> getCandidateConfigurations(AnnotationMetadata metadata, AnnotationAttributes attributes) { List<String> configurations = SpringFactoriesLoader.loadFactoryNames( getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass(), getBeanClassLoader()); Assert.notEmpty(configurations, "No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories. If you " + " are using a custom packaging, make sure that file is correct."); return configurations; } /** * Return the class used by {@link SpringFactoriesLoader} to load configuration * candidates. * @return the factory class */ protected Class<?> getSpringFactoriesLoaderFactoryClass() { return EnableAutoConfiguration.class; }Here I met our old acquaintance - SpringFactoryiesLoader, which will read the configuration of EnableAutoConfiguration under META-INF/spring.factories, and then execute exclusion and filtering to obtain the class that needs to be assembled. Finally, let all AutoConfigurationImportListener configured under META-INF/spring.factories execute the AutoConfigurationImportEvent event, the code is as follows:
private void fireAutoConfigurationImportEvents(List<String> configurations, Set<String> excclusions) { List<AutoConfigurationImportListener> listeners = getAutoConfigurationImportListeners(); if (!listeners.isEmpty()) { AutoConfigurationImportEvent event = new AutoConfigurationImportEvent(this, configurations, excclusions); for (AutoConfigurationImportListener listener : listeners) { invokeAwareMethods(listener); listener.onAutoConfigurationImportEvent(event); } } } protected List<AutoConfigurationImportListener> getAutoConfigurationImportListeners() { return SpringFactoriesLoader.loadFactories(AutoConfigurationImportListener.class, this.beanClassLoader); }In the previous link, we only need to determine which classes need to be assembled, and when will these automatically assembled classes be processed in SpringBoot? Let’s briefly analyze it:
2.1. Refresh method of AbstractApplicationContext:
This method is a cliché. Please pay attention to this method:
// Invoke factory processors registered as beans in the context. invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory);
Here is the process of BeanFactoryPostProcessor, so let's take a look at this interface BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor:
/* * Copyright 2002-2010 the original author or authors. * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. * You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and * limitations under the License. */package org.springframework.beans.factory.support;import org.springframework.beans.BeansException;import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanFactoryPostProcessor;/** * Extension to the standard {@link BeanFactoryPostProcessor} SPI, allowing for * the registration of further bean definitions <i>before</i> regular * BeanFactoryPostProcessor detection kicks in.

2.2. ConfigurationClassPostProcessor class
该类主要处理@Configuration注解的，它实现了BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor, 那么也间接实现了BeanFactoryPostProcessor，关键代码如下：
@Override public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) { int factoryId = System.identityHashCode(beanFactory); if (this.factoriesPostProcessed.contains(factoryId)) { throw new IllegalStateException( "postProcessBeanFactory already called on this post-processor against " + beanFactory); } this.factoriesPostProcessed.add(factoryId); if (!this.registriesPostProcessed.contains(factoryId)) { // BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor hook apparently not supported... // Simply call processConfigurationClasses lazily at this point then. processConfigBeanDefinitions((BeanDefinitionRegistry) beanFactory); } enhanceConfigurationClasses(beanFactory); beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(new ImportAwareBeanPostProcessor(beanFactory)); }/** * Build and validate a configuration model based on the registry of * {@link Configuration} classes. */ public void processConfigBeanDefinitions(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) { //.....省略部分代码// Parse each @Configuration class ConfigurationClassParser parser = new ConfigurationClassParser( this.metadataReaderFactory, this.problemReporter, this.environment, this.resourceLoader, this.componentScanBeanNameGenerator, registry); Set<BeanDefinitionHolder> candidates = new LinkedHashSet<BeanDefinitionHolder>(configCandidates); Set<ConfigurationClass> alreadyParsed = new HashSet<ConfigurationClass>(configCandidates.size()); do { parser.parse(candidates); parser.validate(); Set<ConfigurationClass> configClasses = new LinkedHashSet<ConfigurationClass>(parser.getConfigurationClasses()); configClasses.removeAll(alreadyParsed); // Read the model and create bean definitions based on its content if (this.reader == null) { this.reader = new ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader( registry, this.sourceExtractor, this.resourceLoader, this.environment, this.importBeanNameGenerator, parser.getImportRegistry()); } this.reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configClasses); alreadyParsed.addAll(configClasses); candidates.clear(); if (registry.getBeanDefinitionCount() > candidateNames.length) { String[] newCandidateNames = registry.getBeanDefinitionNames(); Set<String> oldCandidateNames = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(candidateNames)); Set<String> alreadyParsedClasses = new HashSet<String>(); for (ConfigurationClass configurationClass : alreadyParsed) { alreadyParsedClasses.add(configurationClass.getMetadata().getClassName()); } for (String candidateName : newCandidateNames) { if (!oldCandidateNames.contains(candidateName)) { BeanDefinition bd = registry.getBeanDefinition(candidateName); if (ConfigurationClassUtils.checkConfigurationClassCandidate(bd, this.metadataReaderFactory) && !alreadyParsedClasses.contains(bd.getBeanClassName())) { candidates.add(new BeanDefinitionHolder(bd, candidateName)); } } } candidateNames = newCandidateNames; } } while (!candidates.isEmpty()); // ....省略部分代码}其实这里注释已经很清楚了，我们可以清楚的看到解析每一个@ConfigurationClass的关键类是：ConfigurationClassParser，那么我们继续看一看这个类的parse方法：
public void parse(Set<BeanDefinitionHolder> configCandidates) { this.deferredImportSelectors = new LinkedList<DeferredImportSelectorHolder>(); for (BeanDefinitionHolder holder : configCandidates) { BeanDefinition bd = holder.getBeanDefinition(); try { if (bd instanceof AnnotatedBeanDefinition) { parse(((AnnotatedBeanDefinition) bd).getMetadata(), holder.getBeanName()); } else if (bd instanceof AbstractBeanDefinition && ((AbstractBeanDefinition) bd).hasBeanClass()) { parse(((AbstractBeanDefinition) bd).getBeanClass(), holder.getBeanName()); } else { parse(bd.getBeanClassName(), holder.getBeanName()); } } catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) { throw ex; } catch (Throwable ex) { throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException( "Failed to parse configuration class [" + bd.getBeanClassName() + "]", ex); } } processDeferredImportSelectors(); }在这里大家留意一下最后一句processDeferredImportSelectors方法，在这里将会对DeferredImportSelector进行处理，这样我们就和AutoConfigurationSelectImporter结合到一起了：
private void processDeferredImportSelectors() { List<DeferredImportSelectorHolder> deferredImports = this.deferredImportSelectors; this.deferredImportSelectors = null; Collections.sort(deferredImports, DEFERRED_IMPORT_COMPARATOR); for (DeferredImportSelectorHolder deferredImport : deferredImports) { ConfigurationClass configClass = deferredImport.getConfigurationClass(); try { String[] imports = deferredImport.getImportSelector().selectImports(configClass.getMetadata()); processImports(configClass, asSourceClass(configClass), asSourceClasses(imports), false); } catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) { throw ex; } catch (Throwable ex) { throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException( "Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [" + configClass.getMetadata().getClassName() + "]", ex); } } }请大家关注这句代码：String[] imports = deferredImport.getImportSelector().selectImports(configClass.getMetadata());在这里deferredImport的类型为DeferredImportSelectorHolder：
private static class DeferredImportSelectorHolder { private final ConfigurationClass configurationClass; private final DeferredImportSelector importSelector; public DeferredImportSelectorHolder(ConfigurationClass configClass, DeferredImportSelector selector) { this.configurationClass = configClass; this.importSelector = selector; } public ConfigurationClass getConfigurationClass() { return this.configurationClass; } public DeferredImportSelector getImportSelector() { return this.importSelector; } }在这个内部类里持有了一个DeferredImportSelector的引用，至此将会执行自动装配的所有操作
1）自动装配还是利用了SpringFactoriesLoader来加载META-INF/spring.factoires文件里所有配置的EnableAutoConfgruation，它会经过exclude和filter等操作，最终确定要装配的类
2) 处理@Configuration的核心还是ConfigurationClassPostProcessor，这个类实现了BeanFactoryPostProcessor, 因此当AbstractApplicationContext执行refresh方法里的invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(beanFactory)方法时会执行自动装配
以上所述是小编给大家介绍的SpringBoot中的自动装配，希望对大家有所帮助，如果大家有任何疑问欢迎给我留言，小编会及时回复大家的！
