@Import注解的作用

在@Import注解的参数中可以填写类名，例如@Import(Abc.class)，根据类Abc的不同类型，spring容器有以下四种处理方式：

• 1. 如果Abc类实现了ImportSelector接口，spring容器就会实例化Abc类，并且调用其selectImports方法；
• 2. DeferredImportSelector是ImportSelector的子类，如果Abc类实现了DeferredImportSelector接口，spring容器就会实例化Abc类，并且调用其selectImports方法，和ImportSelector的实例不同的是，DeferredImportSelector的实例的selectImports方法调用时机晚于ImportSelector的实例，要等到@Configuration注解中相关的业务全部都处理完了才会调用（具体逻辑在ConfigurationClassParser.processDeferredImportSelectors方法中），想了解更多DeferredImportSelector和ImportSelector的区别，请参考《ImportSelector与DeferredImportSelector的区别（spring4） 》；
• 3. 如果Abc类实现了ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar接口，spring容器就会实例化Abc类，并且调用其registerBeanDefinitions方法；
• 4. 如果Abc没有实现ImportSelector、DeferredImportSelector、ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar等其中的任何一个，spring容器就会实例化Abc类，官方说明在这里；

spring源码版本：5.0.5.RELEASE

跟踪spring容器是如何处理Import注解的，容器初始化一般从AbstractApplicationContext类的refresh开始，其它过程跳过，直接通过堆栈到相关的地方；

ConfigurationClassParser是解析@PropertySources，@ComponentScan，@Import，@ImportResource，@Bean注解的地方
在ConfigurationClassParser#parse中

    public void parse(Set<BeanDefinitionHolder> configCandidates) {
        //稍后执行的parse方法中，所有DeferredImportSelector实现类都会被放入集合deferredImportSelectors中
        this.deferredImportSelectors = new LinkedList<>();

        for (BeanDefinitionHolder holder : configCandidates) {
            BeanDefinition bd = holder.getBeanDefinition();
            try {
                if (bd instanceof AnnotatedBeanDefinition) {
                  //在这个parse方法中，所有DeferredImportSelector实现类都会被放入集合deferredImportSelectors中，它们的selectImports方法不会被执行，而其他ImportSelector实现类的selectImports都会被执行
                    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);
            }
        }

        //此方法内，会将集合deferredImportSelectors中的所有对象取出来执行其selectImports方法
        processDeferredImportSelectors();
    }

查看处理@import的地方

    protected final SourceClass doProcessConfigurationClass(ConfigurationClass configClass, SourceClass sourceClass)
            throws IOException {
        ......

        // Process any @Import annotations
        processImports(configClass, sourceClass, getImports(sourceClass), true);

        ......
    }

跟踪查看getImports就是递归取类的@Import注解的，取到后在processImports方法中进行处理：    

 

    private void processImports(ConfigurationClass configClass, SourceClass currentSourceClass,
            Collection<SourceClass> importCandidates, boolean checkForCircularImports) {

        if (importCandidates.isEmpty()) {
            return;
        }

        if (checkForCircularImports && isChainedImportOnStack(configClass)) {
            this.problemReporter.error(new CircularImportProblem(configClass, this.importStack));
        }
        else {
            this.importStack.push(configClass);
            try {
                for (SourceClass candidate : importCandidates) {
                  //如果是ImportSelector接口的实现类，就在此处理
                    if (candidate.isAssignable(ImportSelector.class)) {
                        // Candidate class is an ImportSelector -> delegate to it to determine imports
                        Class<?> candidateClass = candidate.loadClass();
                        //实例化这些ImportSelector的实现类
                        ImportSelector selector = BeanUtils.instantiateClass(candidateClass, ImportSelector.class);
                        //如果这实现类还实现了BeanFactoryAware、EnvironmentAware这些接口，就要先执行这些接口中声明的方法
                        ParserStrategyUtils.invokeAwareMethods(
                                selector, this.environment, this.resourceLoader, this.registry);
                        //如果这个实现类也实现了DeferredImportSelector接口，就被加入到集合deferredImportSelectors中，在解析完成后在执行
                        if (this.deferredImportSelectors != null && selector instanceof DeferredImportSelector) {
                            this.deferredImportSelectors.add(
                                    new DeferredImportSelectorHolder(configClass, (DeferredImportSelector) selector));
                        }
                        else {
                          //注意，这一行是关键代码！！！执行实现类的selectImports方法
                            String[] importClassNames = selector.selectImports(currentSourceClass.getMetadata());
                            Collection<SourceClass> importSourceClasses = asSourceClasses(importClassNames);
                            processImports(configClass, currentSourceClass, importSourceClasses, false);
                        }
                    }
                    //处理ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar的实现类
                    else if (candidate.isAssignable(ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar.class)) {
                        // Candidate class is an ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar ->
                        // delegate to it to register additional bean definitions
                        Class<?> candidateClass = candidate.loadClass();
                        ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar registrar =
                                BeanUtils.instantiateClass(candidateClass, ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar.class);
                        ParserStrategyUtils.invokeAwareMethods(
                                registrar, this.environment, this.resourceLoader, this.registry);
                        //configClass.addImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar方法将ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar实现类存入configClass的成员变量importBeanDefinitionRegistrars中，
                        //后面的ConfigurationClassPostProcessor类的processConfigBeanDefinitions方法中，处理完parser.parse后在执行
                        //this.reader.loadBeanDefinitions(configClasses);会调用这些ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar实现类的registerBeanDefinitions方法
                        configClass.addImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar(registrar, currentSourceClass.getMetadata());
                    }
                    //普通类
                    else {
                        // Candidate class not an ImportSelector or ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar ->
                        // process it as an @Configuration class
                        this.importStack.registerImport(
                                currentSourceClass.getMetadata(), candidate.getMetadata().getClassName());
                        processConfigurationClass(candidate.asConfigClass(configClass));
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (BeanDefinitionStoreException ex) {
                throw ex;
            }
            catch (Throwable ex) {
                throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException(
                        "Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [" +
                        configClass.getMetadata().getClassName() + "]", ex);
            }
            finally {
                this.importStack.pop();
            }
        }
    }

小结如下：

• 1. 普通类（即没有实现ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar、ImportSelector、DeferredImportSelector等接口的类）会通过ConfigurationClassBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitionsFromImportedResources方法将bean定义注册到spring容器；
• 2. ImportSelector实现类，其selectImports方法返回的bean的名称，通过ConfigurationClassParser类的asSourceClass方法转成SourceClass对象，然后被当作普通类处理；
• 3. ImportSelector与DeferredImportSelector的区别，就是selectImports方法执行时机有差别，这个差别期间，spring容器对此Configguration类做了些其他的逻辑：包括对@ImportResource、@Bean这些注解的处理（注意，这里只是对@Bean修饰的方法的处理，并不是立即调用@Bean修饰的方法，这个区别很重要！）；
• 4. ImportBeanDefinitionRegistrar实现类的registerBeanDefinitions方法会被调用，里面可以注册业务所需的bean定义；
