一、什么是SPI
SPI ,全称为 Service Provider Interface,是一种服务发现机制。它通过在ClassPath路径下的META-INF/services文件夹查找文件,自动加载文件里所定义的类。
SPI 的本质是将接口实现类的全限定名配置在文件中,并由服务加载器读取配置文件,加载实现类。这样可以在运行时,动态为接口替换实现类。正因此特性,我们可以很容易的通过 SPI 机制为我们的程序提供拓展功能。SPI 机制在第三方框架中也有所应用,比如 Dubbo 就是通过 SPI 机制加载所有的组件。不过,Dubbo 并未使用 Java 原生的 SPI 机制,而是对其进行了增强,使其能够更好的满足需求。在 Dubbo 中,SPI 是一个非常重要的模块。基于 SPI,我们可以很容易的对 Dubbo 进行拓展。如果大家想要学习 Dubbo 的源码,SPI 机制务必弄懂。

这一机制为很多框架扩展提供了可能,比如在Dubbo、JDBC中都使用到了SPI机制。我们先通过一个很简单的例子来看下它是怎么用的。

JAVA SPI:
sun.misc.Service
java.util.ServiceLoader

public final class ServiceLoader<S>
    implements Iterable<S>
{

    private static final String PREFIX = "META-INF/services/";

    // The class or interface representing the service being loaded
    private final Class<S> service;

    // The class loader used to locate, load, and instantiate providers
    private final ClassLoader loader;

    // The access control context taken when the ServiceLoader is created
    private final AccessControlContext acc;

    // Cached providers, in instantiation order
    private LinkedHashMap<String,S> providers = new LinkedHashMap<>();

    // The current lazy-lookup iterator
    private LazyIterator lookupIterator;

    /**
     * Clear this loader's provider cache so that all providers will be
     * reloaded.
     *
     * <p> After invoking this method, subsequent invocations of the {@link
     * #iterator() iterator} method will lazily look up and instantiate
     * providers from scratch, just as is done by a newly-created loader.
     *
     * <p> This method is intended for use in situations in which new providers
     * can be installed into a running Java virtual machine.
     */
    public void reload() {
        providers.clear();
        lookupIterator = new LazyIterator(service, loader);
    }

    private ServiceLoader(Class<S> svc, ClassLoader cl) {
        service = Objects.requireNonNull(svc, "Service interface cannot be null");
        loader = (cl == null) ? ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() : cl;
        acc = (System.getSecurityManager() != null) ? AccessController.getContext() : null;
        reload();
    }

Spring SPI:
