每个基于 MyBatis 的应用都是以一个 SqlSessionFactory 的实例为中心的。SqlSessionFactory 的实例可以通过 SqlSessionFactoryBuilder 获得。而 SqlSessionFactoryBuilder 则可以从 XML 配置文件或一个预先定制的 Configuration 的实例构建出 SqlSessionFactory 的实例。

本文以 从 XML 文件中构建 SqlSessionFactory 的实例 来分析MyBatis初始化过程。

从 XML 文件中构建 SqlSessionFactory 的实例非常简单，建议使用类路径下的资源文件进行配置。但是也可以使用任意的输入流(InputStream)实例，包括字符串形式的文件路径或者 file:// 的 URL 形式的文件路径来配置。MyBatis 包含一个名叫 Resources 的工具类，它包含一些实用方法，可使从 classpath 或其他位置加载资源文件更加容易。

String resource = "org/mybatis/example/mybatis-config.xml";
InputStream inputStream = Resources.getResourceAsStream(resource);
sqlSessionFactory = new SqlSessionFactoryBuilder().build(inputStream);

SqlSessionFactoryBuilder

首先，映入眼帘的 org.apache.ibatis.session.SqlSessionFactoryBuilder，源码如下：

public class SqlSessionFactoryBuilder {

  public SqlSessionFactory build(Reader reader) {
    return build(reader, null, null);
  }

  public SqlSessionFactory build(Reader reader, String environment) {
    return build(reader, environment, null);
  }

  public SqlSessionFactory build(Reader reader, Properties properties) {
    return build(reader, null, properties);
  }

  public SqlSessionFactory build(Reader reader, String environment, Properties properties) {
    try {
      XMLConfigBuilder parser = new XMLConfigBuilder(reader, environment, properties);
      return build(parser.parse());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw ExceptionFactory.wrapException("Error building SqlSession.", e);
    } finally {
      ErrorContext.instance().reset();
      try {
        reader.close();
      } catch (IOException e) {
        // Intentionally ignore. Prefer previous error.
      }
    }
  }

  /**重点关注**/
  public SqlSessionFactory build(InputStream inputStream) {
    return build(inputStream, null, null);
  }

  public SqlSessionFactory build(InputStream inputStream, String environment) {
    return build(inputStream, environment, null);
  }

  public SqlSessionFactory build(InputStream inputStream, Properties properties) {
    return build(inputStream, null, properties);
  }

  /**重点关注**/
  public SqlSessionFactory build(InputStream inputStream, String environment, Properties properties) {
    try {
      XMLConfigBuilder parser = new XMLConfigBuilder(inputStream, environment, properties);
      return build(parser.parse());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw ExceptionFactory.wrapException("Error building SqlSession.", e);
    } finally {
      ErrorContext.instance().reset();
      try {
        inputStream.close();
      } catch (IOException e) {
        // Intentionally ignore. Prefer previous error.
      }
    }
  }

}

SqlSessionFactoryBuilder的build方法首先构造XMLConfigBuilder 实例，然后通过XMLConfigBuilder 的parse()方法得到 org.apache.ibatis.session.Configuration 对象，代码如下：

public class XMLConfigBuilder extends BaseBuilder {

  private boolean parsed;
  private XPathParser parser;
  private String environment;
  private ReflectorFactory localReflectorFactory = new DefaultReflectorFactory();

  public XMLConfigBuilder(Reader reader, String environment, Properties props) {
    this(new XPathParser(reader, true, props, new XMLMapperEntityResolver()), environment, props);
  }

  public XMLConfigBuilder(InputStream inputStream, String environment, Properties props) {
    this(new XPathParser(inputStream, true, props, new XMLMapperEntityResolver()), environment, props);
  }

  private XMLConfigBuilder(XPathParser parser, String environment, Properties props) {
    super(new Configuration());
    ErrorContext.instance().resource("SQL Mapper Configuration");
    this.configuration.setVariables(props);
    this.parsed = false;
    this.environment = environment;
    this.parser = parser;
  }
  
  /**重点关注**/
  public Configuration parse() {
    if (parsed) {
      throw new BuilderException("Each XMLConfigBuilder can only be used once.");
    }
    parsed = true;
    parseConfiguration(parser.evalNode("/configuration"));
    return configuration;
  }

  private void parseConfiguration(XNode root) {
    try {
      //issue #117 read properties first
      propertiesElement(root.evalNode("properties"));
      Properties settings = settingsAsProperties(root.evalNode("settings"));
      loadCustomVfs(settings);
      typeAliasesElement(root.evalNode("typeAliases"));
      pluginElement(root.evalNode("plugins"));
      objectFactoryElement(root.evalNode("objectFactory"));
      objectWrapperFactoryElement(root.evalNode("objectWrapperFactory"));
      reflectorFactoryElement(root.evalNode("reflectorFactory"));
      settingsElement(settings);
      // read it after objectFactory and objectWrapperFactory issue #631
      environmentsElement(root.evalNode("environments"));
      databaseIdProviderElement(root.evalNode("databaseIdProvider"));
      typeHandlerElement(root.evalNode("typeHandlers"));
      mapperElement(root.evalNode("mappers"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
      throw new BuilderException("Error parsing SQL Mapper Configuration. Cause: " + e, e);
    }
  }
}

最后调用 SqlSessionFactoryBuilder的build(Configuration config)方法 把SqlSessionFactory 对象构造出来，代码如下：

  public SqlSessionFactory build(Configuration config) {
    return new DefaultSqlSessionFactory(config);
  }
