上文分析到了org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor类 process 方法，以解析请求头的 getInputBuffer().parseRequestLine 方法调用为例，看到如何从 Socket 的 IO 流中取出字节流数据，根据 Http 协议将字节流组装到 Tomcat 内部的org.apache.coyote.Request对象的相关属性中。
接下来将会解释构造好的 Tomcat 的内部请求对象从 Connector 到 Engine 到 Host 到 Context 最后到 Servlet 的过程。

概述一下这个方法做的事情：第 3 到 26 行主要是在初始化变量。关注接下来一大段的 while 循环里面的代码，第 31 到 121 行在解析请求头，第 123 到 159 行将请求交由适配器（ adapter ）处理，第 161 到 200 行结束请求的处理（做一些收尾工作，比如废弃剩下的无意义字节流数据，设置相应状态码等）。
请求对象在容器中的流转在第 127 行：
adapter.service(request, response);
这里的 adapter 对象是在 Http11Processor 对象创建的时候设置的，见org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.Http11ConnectionHandler类的 createProcessor 方法：
1 protected Http11Processor createProcessor() {
2 Http11Processor processor = new Http11Processor(
3 proto.getMaxHttpHeaderSize(), (JIoEndpoint)proto.endpoint,
4 proto.getMaxTrailerSize());
5 processor.setAdapter(proto.adapter);
6 processor.setMaxKeepAliveRequests(proto.getMaxKeepAliveRequests());
7 processor.setKeepAliveTimeout(proto.getKeepAliveTimeout());
8 processor.setConnectionUploadTimeout(
9 proto.getConnectionUploadTimeout());
10 processor.setDisableUploadTimeout(proto.getDisableUploadTimeout());
11 processor.setCompressionMinSize(proto.getCompressionMinSize());
12 processor.setCompression(proto.getCompression());
13 processor.setNoCompressionUserAgents(proto.getNoCompressionUserAgents());
14 processor.setCompressableMimeTypes(proto.getCompressableMimeTypes());
15 processor.setRestrictedUserAgents(proto.getRestrictedUserAgents());
16 processor.setSocketBuffer(proto.getSocketBuffer());
17 processor.setMaxSavePostSize(proto.getMaxSavePostSize());
18 processor.setServer(proto.getServer());
19 processor.setDisableKeepAlivePercentage(
20 proto.getDisableKeepAlivePercentage());
21 register(processor);
22 return processor;
23 } }
可以看到 adapter 对象设置的是org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol的 adapter 变量，而该变量是在 Connector 类的 initInternal 方法中设值的：
1 protected void initInternal() throws LifecycleException {
2
3 super.initInternal();
4
5 // Initialize adapter
6 adapter = new CoyoteAdapter(this);
7 protocolHandler.setAdapter(adapter);
8
9 // Make sure parseBodyMethodsSet has a default
10 if( null == parseBodyMethodsSet ) {
11 setParseBodyMethods(getParseBodyMethods());
12 }
13
14 if (protocolHandler.isAprRequired() &&
15 !AprLifecycleListener.isAprAvailable()) {
16 throw new LifecycleException(
17 sm.getString("coyoteConnector.protocolHandlerNoApr",
18 getProtocolHandlerClassName()));
19 }
20
21 try {
22 protocolHandler.init();
23 } catch (Exception e) {
24 throw new LifecycleException
25 (sm.getString
26 ("coyoteConnector.protocolHandlerInitializationFailed"), e);
27 }
28
29 // Initialize mapper listener
30 mapperListener.init();
31 }
第 6、7 行就是初始化 adapter 对象并设值到 Http11Protocol 对象中的。
所以上面看到的adapter.service(request, response)方法实际执行的是org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter类的 service 方法：
1 public void service(org.apache.coyote.Request req,
2 org.apache.coyote.Response res)
3 throws Exception {
4
5 Request request = (Request) req.getNote(ADAPTER_NOTES);
6 Response response = (Response) res.getNote(ADAPTER_NOTES);
7
8 if (request == null) {
9
10 // Create objects
11 request = connector.createRequest();
12 request.setCoyoteRequest(req);
13 response = connector.createResponse();
14 response.setCoyoteResponse(res);
15
16 // Link objects
17 request.setResponse(response);
18 response.setRequest(request);
19
20 // Set as notes
21 req.setNote(ADAPTER_NOTES, request);
22 res.setNote(ADAPTER_NOTES, response);
23
24 // Set query string encoding
25 req.getParameters().setQueryStringEncoding
26 (connector.getURIEncoding());
27
28 }
29
30 if (connector.getXpoweredBy()) {
31 response.addHeader("X-Powered-By", POWERED_BY);
32 }
33
34 boolean comet = false;
35 boolean async = false;
36
37 try {
38
39 // Parse and set Catalina and configuration specific
40 // request parameters
41 req.getRequestProcessor().setWorkerThreadName(Thread.currentThread().getName());
42 boolean postParseSuccess = postParseRequest(req, request, res, response);
43 if (postParseSuccess) {
44 //check valves if we support async
45 request.setAsyncSupported(connector.getService().getContainer().getPipeline().isAsyncSupported());
46 // Calling the container
47 connector.getService().getContainer().getPipeline().getFirst().invoke(request, response);
48
49 if (request.isComet()) {
50 if (!response.isClosed() && !response.isError()) {
51 if (request.getAvailable() || (request.getContentLength() > 0 && (!request.isParametersParsed()))) {
52 // Invoke a read event right away if there are available bytes
53 if (event(req, res, SocketStatus.OPEN)) {
54 comet = true;
55 res.action(ActionCode.COMET_BEGIN, null);
56 }
57 } else {
58 comet = true;
59 res.action(ActionCode.COMET_BEGIN, null);
60 }
61 } else {
62 // Clear the filter chain, as otherwise it will not be reset elsewhere
63 // since this is a Comet request
64 request.setFilterChain(null);
65 }
66 }
67
68 }
69 AsyncContextImpl asyncConImpl = (AsyncContextImpl)request.getAsyncContext();
70 if (asyncConImpl != null) {
71 async = true;
72 } else if (!comet) {
73 request.finishRequest();
74 response.finishResponse();
75 if (postParseSuccess &&
76 request.getMappingData().context != null) {
77 // Log only if processing was invoked.
78 // If postParseRequest() failed, it has already logged it.
79 // If context is null this was the start of a comet request
80 // that failed and has already been logged.
81 ((Context) request.getMappingData().context).logAccess(
82 request, response,
83 System.currentTimeMillis() - req.getStartTime(),
84 false);
85 }
86 req.action(ActionCode.POST_REQUEST , null);
87 }
88
89 } catch (IOException e) {
90 // Ignore
91 } finally {
92 req.getRequestProcessor().setWorkerThreadName(null);
93 // Recycle the wrapper request and response
94 if (!comet && !async) {
95 request.recycle();
96 response.recycle();
97 } else {
98 // Clear converters so that the minimum amount of memory
99 // is used by this processor
100 request.clearEncoders();
101 response.clearEncoders();
102 }
103 }
104
105 }
这段代码中可以看到入参org.apache.coyote.Request对象被转成了org.apache.catalina.connector.Request对象，后一类型的对象才是在 Tomcat 容器流转时真正传递的对象。重点关注第 42 行和第 47 行。
在第 42 行调用了 postParseRequest 方法：
1 /**

4 protected boolean postParseRequest(org.apache.coyote.Request req,
5 Request request,
6 org.apache.coyote.Response res,
7 Response response)
8 throws Exception {

这段代码的主要作用是给org.apache.catalina.connector.Request对象设值，其中第 113 到 117 行：
// This will map the the latest version by default
connector.getMapper().map(serverName, decodedURI, version,
request.getMappingData());
request.setContext((Context) request.getMappingData().context);
request.setWrapper((Wrapper) request.getMappingData().wrapper);
看下 map 方法的代码，注意该方法的最后一个入参是 request.getMappingData() ：
public void map(MessageBytes host, MessageBytes uri, String version,
MappingData mappingData)
throws Exception {
if (host.isNull()) {
host.getCharChunk().append(defaultHostName);
}
host.toChars();
uri.toChars();
internalMap(host.getCharChunk(), uri.getCharChunk(), version,
mappingData);
}
可以看到这里最后调用了org.apache.tomcat.util.http.mapper.Mapper类的 internalMap 方法，并且该方法最后一个入参实际上是上一段代码提到的 request.getMappingData() 。看下 internalMap 方法里面做了些什么：
1 /**
2 * Map the specified URI.
3 */
4 private final void internalMap(CharChunk host, CharChunk uri,
5 String version, MappingData mappingData) throws Exception {
6
7 uri.setLimit(-1);
8
9 Context[] contexts = null;
10 Context context = null;
11 ContextVersion contextVersion = null;
12
13 int nesting = 0;
14
15 // Virtual host mapping
16 if (mappingData.host == null) {
17 Host[] hosts = this.hosts;
18 int pos = findIgnoreCase(hosts, host);
19 if ((pos != -1) && (host.equalsIgnoreCase(hosts[pos].name))) {
20 mappingData.host = hosts[pos].object;
21 contexts = hosts[pos].contextList.contexts;
22 nesting = hosts[pos].contextList.nesting;
23 } else {
24 if (defaultHostName == null) {
25 return;
26 }
27 pos = find(hosts, defaultHostName);
28 if ((pos != -1) && (defaultHostName.equals(hosts[pos].name))) {
29 mappingData.host = hosts[pos].object;
30 contexts = hosts[pos].contextList.contexts;
31 nesting = hosts[pos].contextList.nesting;
32 } else {
33 return;
34 }
35 }
36 }
37
38 // Context mapping
39 if (mappingData.context == null) {
40 int pos = find(contexts, uri);
41 if (pos == -1) {
42 return;
43 }
44
45 int lastSlash = -1;
46 int uriEnd = uri.getEnd();
47 int length = -1;
48 boolean found = false;
49 while (pos >= 0) {
50 if (uri.startsWith(contexts[pos].name)) {
51 length = contexts[pos].name.length();
52 if (uri.getLength() == length) {
53 found = true;
54 break;
55 } else if (uri.startsWithIgnoreCase("/", length)) {
56 found = true;
57 break;
58 }
59 }
60 if (lastSlash == -1) {
61 lastSlash = nthSlash(uri, nesting + 1);
62 } else {
63 lastSlash = lastSlash(uri);
64 }
65 uri.setEnd(lastSlash);
66 pos = find(contexts, uri);
67 }
68 uri.setEnd(uriEnd);
69
70 if (!found) {
71 if (contexts[0].name.equals("")) {
72 context = contexts[0];
73 }
74 } else {
75 context = contexts[pos];
76 }
77 if (context != null) {
78 mappingData.contextPath.setString(context.name);
79 }
80 }
81
82 if (context != null) {
83 ContextVersion[] contextVersions = context.versions;
84 int versionCount = contextVersions.length;
85 if (versionCount > 1) {
86 Object[] contextObjects = new Object[contextVersions.length];
87 for (int i = 0; i < contextObjects.length; i++) {
88 contextObjects[i] = contextVersions[i].object;
89 }
90 mappingData.contexts = contextObjects;
91 }
92
93 if (version == null) {
94 // Return the latest version
95 contextVersion = contextVersions[versionCount - 1];
96 } else {
97 int pos = find(contextVersions, version);
98 if (pos < 0 || !contextVersions[pos].name.equals(version)) {
99 // Return the latest version
100 contextVersion = contextVersions[versionCount - 1];
101 } else {
102 contextVersion = contextVersions[pos];
103 }
104 }
105 mappingData.context = contextVersion.object;
106 }
107
108 // Wrapper mapping
109 if ((contextVersion != null) && (mappingData.wrapper == null)) {
110 internalMapWrapper(contextVersion, uri, mappingData);
111 }
112
113 }
说白了就是给该方法的入参 mappingData 的几个实例变量设置值，比如 mappingData.host、mappingData.contextPath、mappingData.contexts、mappingData.wrapper ，回到上一段提到的 mappingData 变量实际上是org.apache.catalina.connector.Request对象内置变量 mappingData 。回到上面提到的要重点关注的org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter的postParseRequest 方法的 114 到 117行：
connector.getMapper().map(serverName, decodedURI, version,
request.getMappingData());
request.setContext((Context) request.getMappingData().context);
request.setWrapper((Wrapper) request.getMappingData().wrapper);
上面之所以不厌其烦的把实现代码贴出来就是为了能够看清楚这三行代码的具体含义，即通过 map 方法的调用设置 request 的成员变量 mappingData 的成员变量 host、context、warp 信息，接着从 mappingData 中取出 context 和 wrapper ，直接设置到 request 对象的成员变量 context、wrapper 中。下图是上面所描述的关键代码调用过程的时序图：
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.mapper.Mapper类源码，这里大致说下其匹配原理，在 org.apache.tomcat.util.http.mapper.Mapper类中有几个内部类 Host、Context、Wrapper，Mapper 类内部分别有这几种类型的成员变量，在 Tomcat 容器启动的时候会调用org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector类的 startInternal 方法（具体启动过程分析参见前文），该方法最后一行：
mapperListener.start();
这里将会调用org.apache.catalina.connector.MapperListener类的 startInternal 方法：
1 public void startInternal() throws LifecycleException {
2
3 setState(LifecycleState.STARTING);
4
5 // Find any components that have already been initialized since the
6 // MBean listener won't be notified as those components will have
7 // already registered their MBeans
8 findDefaultHost();
9
10 Engine engine = (Engine) connector.getService().getContainer();
11 addListeners(engine);
12
13 Container[] conHosts = engine.findChildren();
14 for (Container conHost : conHosts) {
15 Host host = (Host) conHost;
16 if (!LifecycleState.NEW.equals(host.getState())) {
17 // Registering the host will register the context and wrappers
18 registerHost(host);
19 }
20 }
21 }
在第 18 行调用当前类的 registerHost 方法：
1 private void registerHost(Host host) {
2
3 String[] aliases = host.findAliases();
4 mapper.addHost(host.getName(), aliases, host);
5
6 for (Container container : host.findChildren()) {
7 if (container.getState().isAvailable()) {
8 registerContext((Context) container);
9 }
10 }
11 if(log.isDebugEnabled()) {
12 log.debug(sm.getString("mapperListener.registerHost",
13 host.getName(), domain, connector));
14 }
15 }
第 8 行在 registerHost 方法中会调用 registerContext 方法，在 registerContext 方法中会调用 registerWrapper 方法。第4行看到调用了上述 mapper 对象的 addHost 方法，在 registerContext 方法中会调用 mapper 对象的 mapper.addContextVersion 方法，在 registerWrapper 方法中会调用 mapper 对象的 mapper.addWrapper 方法。
所以在 Tomcat 容器启动过程中会将在用的 Host、Context、Wrapper 组件同时维护到与一个 Connector 相关的 Mapper 对象里，这样才会在容器接收到一次请求的时候可以根据请求的URL等信息匹配到具体的 host、context、wrapper 。
本文中提到的 wrapper 实际上是 Tomcat 容器内部对于 Servlet 的封装，可以认为是一对一的关系。看下 Tomcat 容器的组件结构图：
