什么叫发布
发布就是让tomcat知道我们的程序在哪里，并根据我们的配置创建Context，进行初始化、启动，如下：
- 程序所在的位置
- 创建Context，添加到Host
- 初始化（创建解析webxml的digester）
- 启动（初始化filter、listener、servlet）
webapp发布方式
在tomcat 中发布webapp的方式不同会导致app启动的先后顺序不一样（这里按照启动顺序或者时机不同进行划分）：
- 在xml中配置，在conf/server.xml中配置（在host标签内部）
- 直接将webapp文件夹、war包放在tomcat下面的"webapps"目录，或者在webapps下面新建一个xml（根标签为context，在属性中表明应用程序的位置）
其实两种发布方式只是在启动顺序上稍有不同，启动过程完全一致，先以在server.xml中配置说明
在server.xml进行配置
这情况在我们使用eclipse等工具进行开发发布的时候，eclipse会帮我们在server.xml的Host标签内添加Context，如下：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

在新建server的时候会解析server.xml，同时也会根据我们上面的配置新建StandardContext，而且会将StandardContext作为Host的一个Child（可以在Catalina.createStartDigester方法中查看怎么解析server.xml），在tomcat的启动过程中context是由父容器host启动的
额，看到这张图发现似曾相识，对滴，就是Context的初始化，因为在tomcat中一个context实例就代表一个webapp，所以其实应用程序webapp的发布本身就是context的初始化和启动，再看看context的启动
以上已经完整展示了一个webapp的发布过程，也就是在server.xml的配置的webapp发布过程，接着来看看在webapps目录下的发布过程。
在webapps目录下
在StandardHost的startInternal方法中调用了父类的ContainerBase.startInternal方法，在StandardHost发布完在server.xml中配置的app之后，会调用setState来切换自身的状态，这个时候就会触发listener HostConfig的lifecycleEvent方法
@Override
protected synchronized void startInternal() throws LifecycleException {
// Start our subordinate components, if any
if ((loader != null) && (loader instanceof Lifecycle))
((Lifecycle) loader).start();
logger = null;
getLogger();
if ((manager != null) && (manager instanceof Lifecycle))
((Lifecycle) manager).start();
if ((cluster != null) && (cluster instanceof Lifecycle))
((Lifecycle) cluster).start();
Realm realm = getRealmInternal();
if ((realm != null) && (realm instanceof Lifecycle))
((Lifecycle) realm).start();
if ((resources != null) && (resources instanceof Lifecycle))
((Lifecycle) resources).start();
// Start our child containers, if any // 因为在解析server.xml的时候已经新建了Context，这里就可以直接start
Container children[] = findChildren();
List<Future<Void>> results = new ArrayList<Future<Void>>();
for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
results.add(startStopExecutor.submit(new StartChild(children[i])));
}
boolean fail = false;
for (Future<Void> result : results) {
try {
result.get();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error(sm.getString("containerBase.threadedStartFailed"), e);
fail = true;
}
}
if (fail) {
throw new LifecycleException(
sm.getString("containerBase.threadedStartFailed"));
}
// Start the Valves in our pipeline (including the basic), if any
if (pipeline instanceof Lifecycle)
((Lifecycle) pipeline).start();
// 调用lifecycleEvent方法，触发StandardHost的start事件，触发监听器HostConfig的start方法，所有在webapps下面的都在start方法中发布
setState(LifecycleState.STARTING);
// Start our thread
threadStart();
}
调用过程如下：
（上图中主要画出了deployWars的调用过程，其他两个deploy方法也类似）
在HostConfig.deployApps方法中主要进行了：
- 调用deployDescriptors：发布所有使用xml配置的webapp，因为可能有多个xml，所以在该方法内部又调用了deployDescriptor来发布每个xml对应的webapp
- 调用deployWars：发布所有在webapps目录下的war包，也可能存在多个
- 调用deployDirectories：发布所有直接部署在webapps目录下的应用程序
前面说过了，发布webapp就是新建一个context对象并初始化、启动，上面三个方法中主要的作用为：
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName(host.getConfigClass());
LifecycleListener listener =
(LifecycleListener) clazz.newInstance();
context.addLifecycleListener(listener);
context.setName(cn.getName());
context.setPath(cn.getPath());
context.setWebappVersion(cn.getVersion());
context.setDocBase(cn.getBaseName() + ".war");
host.addChild(context);
- 构建一个StandardContext
- 将context添加到host中，在Container.addChildInternal方法中会调用context.start
接下来的步骤就和上面在server.xml配置的webapp启动一致了。
reload
在我们使用tomcat开发web的时候经常会用到“热加载”（热部署）功能，那么原理究竟是什么呢?上面介绍了webapp发布，因为reload功能也是从HostConfig开始的，所以继续介绍reload功能
上面的ContainerBase.startInternal是由StandardEngine.startInternal方法调用的，启动了一个daemon线程定时检测webapp是否发生变化（文件是否被修改），如果被修改了则会重新启动StandardContext。
总结
像tomcat部署和发布，我们天天都在用，可是不知道究竟原理怎么样的，在学习了tomcat源码之后，对这一切都更加明了。知其然，知其所以然。
