1.例如：

BeanFactory bf = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource("spring.xml"));
User user = (User) bf.getBean("user");

new ClassPathResource("spring.xml") 根据 xml通过不同参数构建Resource,

/**
* Create a new XmlBeanFactory with the given resource,
* which must be parsable using DOM.
* @param resource XML resource to load bean definitions from
* @throws BeansException in case of loading or parsing errors
*/
public XmlBeanFactory(Resource resource) throws BeansException {
this(resource, null);
}

/**
* Create a new XmlBeanFactory with the given input stream,
* which must be parsable using DOM.
* @param resource XML resource to load bean definitions from
* @param parentBeanFactory parent bean factory
* @throws BeansException in case of loading or parsing errors
*/
public XmlBeanFactory(Resource resource, BeanFactory parentBeanFactory) throws BeansException {
super(parentBeanFactory);
this.reader.loadBeanDefinitions(resource); //XmlBeanDefinitionReader
}

2. reader加载Bean

public int loadBeanDefinitions(Resource resource) throws BeanDefinitionStoreException {
return loadBeanDefinitions(new EncodedResource(resource));
}

/**
* Load bean definitions from the specified XML file.
* @param encodedResource the resource descriptor for the XML file,
* allowing to specify an encoding to use for parsing the file
* @return the number of bean definitions found
* @throws BeanDefinitionStoreException in case of loading or parsing errors
*/
public int loadBeanDefinitions(EncodedResource encodedResource) throws BeanDefinitionStoreException {
Assert.notNull(encodedResource, "EncodedResource must not be null");
if (logger.isInfoEnabled()) {
logger.info("Loading XML bean definitions from " + encodedResource.getResource());
}

Set currentResources = this.resourcesCurrentlyBeingLoaded.get();
if (currentResources == null) {
currentResources = new HashSet(4);
this.resourcesCurrentlyBeingLoaded.set(currentResources);
}
if (!currentResources.add(encodedResource)) {
throw new BeanDefinitionStoreException(
"Detected cyclic loading of " + encodedResource + " - check your import definitions!");
}
try {
InputStream inputStream = encodedResource.getResource().getInputStream();
try {
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(inputStream);
if (encodedResource.getEncoding() != null) {
inputSource.setEncoding(encodedResource.getEncoding());
}
return doLoadBeanDefinitions(inputSource, encodedResource.getResource());

……

3. 根据XML真正加载Bean

/**
* Actually load bean definitions from the specified XML file.
* @param inputSource the SAX InputSource to read from
* @param resource the resource descriptor for the XML file
* @return the number of bean definitions found
* @throws BeanDefinitionStoreException in case of loading or parsing errors
*/
protected int doLoadBeanDefinitions(InputSource inputSource, Resource resource)
throws BeanDefinitionStoreException {
try {
int validationMode = getValidationModeForResource(resource);
Document doc = this.documentLoader.loadDocument(
inputSource, getEntityResolver(), this.errorHandler, validationMode, isNamespaceAware());
return registerBeanDefinitions(doc, resource);

…..

/**
* Register the bean definitions contained in the given DOM document.
* Called by loadBeanDefinitions.
*

Creates a new instance of the parser class and invokes
* registerBeanDefinitions on it.
* @param doc the DOM document
* @param resource the resource descriptor (for context information)
* @return the number of bean definitions found
* @throws BeanDefinitionStoreException in case of parsing errors
* @see #loadBeanDefinitions
* @see #setDocumentReaderClass
* @see BeanDefinitionDocumentReader#registerBeanDefinitions
*/
public int registerBeanDefinitions(Document doc, Resource resource) throws BeanDefinitionStoreException {
BeanDefinitionDocumentReader documentReader = createBeanDefinitionDocumentReader();
documentReader.setEnvironment(this.getEnvironment());
//记录加载前BeanDefinition的加载个数
int countBefore = getRegistry().getBeanDefinitionCount();
documentReader.registerBeanDefinitions(doc, createReaderContext(resource));
return getRegistry().getBeanDefinitionCount() - countBefore;
}

protected XmlReaderContext createReaderContext(Resource resource) {
if (this.namespaceHandlerResolver == null) {
this.namespaceHandlerResolver = createDefaultNamespaceHandlerResolver();
}
return new XmlReaderContext(resource, this.problemReporter, this.eventListener,
this.sourceExtractor, this, this.namespaceHandlerResolver);
}

/**

*

*/
public void registerBeanDefinitions(Document doc, XmlReaderContext readerContext) {
this.readerContext = readerContext;

logger.debug("Loading bean definitions");
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();

doRegisterBeanDefinitions(root);
}

4.注册Bean

/**
* Register each bean definition within the given root {@code } element.
* @throws IllegalStateException if {@code <beans profile="…"} attribute is present
* and Environment property has not been set
* @see #setEnvironment
*/

Assert.state(this.environment != null, "environment property must not be null");
String[] specifiedProfiles = StringUtils.tokenizeToStringArray(profileSpec, BeanDefinitionParserDelegate.MULTI_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE_DELIMITERS);
if (!this.environment.acceptsProfiles(specifiedProfiles)) {
return;
}
}

// any nested elements will cause recursion in this method. In
// order to propagate and preserve default-* attributes correctly,
// keep track of the current (parent) delegate, which may be null. Create
// the new (child) delegate with a reference to the parent for fallback purposes,
// then ultimately reset this.delegate back to its original (parent) reference.
// this behavior emulates a stack of delegates without actually necessitating one.
BeanDefinitionParserDelegate parent = this.delegate;
this.delegate = createHelper(readerContext, root, parent);

preProcessXml(root);
parseBeanDefinitions(root, this.delegate);
postProcessXml(root);

this.delegate = parent;
}

/**
* Parse the elements at the root level in the document:
* "import", "alias", "bean".
* @param root the DOM root element of the document
*/

NodeList nl = root.getChildNodes();
for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) { Node node = nl.item(i); if (node instanceof Element) { Element ele = (Element) node; if (delegate.isDefaultNamespace(ele)) { parseDefaultElement(ele, delegate); //默认标签解析
}
else {
delegate.parseCustomElement(ele);//
}
}
}
}
else {
delegate.parseCustomElement(root);
}
}
