本文主要研究一下
langchain4j-spring-boot-starter的AiServicesAutoConfig

LangChain4jAutoConfig

dev/langchain4j/spring/LangChain4jAutoConfig.java

@AutoConfiguration
@Import({
        AiServicesAutoConfig.class,
        RagAutoConfig.class,
        AiServiceScannerProcessor.class
})
public class LangChain4jAutoConfig {
}

LangChain4jAutoConfig自动import了AiServicesAutoConfig、RagAutoConfig、AiServiceScannerProcessor

AiServiceScannerProcessor

dev/langchain4j/service/spring/AiServiceScannerProcessor.java

@Component
public class AiServiceScannerProcessor implements BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor, EnvironmentAware {

    private Environment environment;

    @Override
    public void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) throws BeansException {
        ClassPathAiServiceScanner scanner = new ClassPathAiServiceScanner(registry, false);
        Set basePackages = getBasePackages((ConfigurableListableBeanFactory) registry);
        scanner.scan(StringUtils.toStringArray(basePackages));

        removeAiServicesWithInactiveProfiles(registry);
    }

    private Set getBasePackages(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory) {
        Set basePackages = new LinkedHashSet<>();

        // AutoConfiguration
        List autoConfigPackages = AutoConfigurationPackages.get(beanFactory);
        basePackages.addAll(autoConfigPackages);

        // ComponentScan
        addComponentScanPackages(beanFactory, basePackages);

        return basePackages;
    }

    private void addComponentScanPackages(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory, Set collectedBasePackages) {
        for (String beanName : beanFactory.getBeanNamesForAnnotation(ComponentScan.class)) {
            Class beanClass = beanFactory.getType(beanName);
            if (beanClass != null) {
                Set componentScans = AnnotatedElementUtils.getMergedRepeatableAnnotations(beanClass, ComponentScan.class);
                for (ComponentScan componentScan : componentScans) {
                    Set basePackages = new LinkedHashSet<>();
                    for (String pkg : componentScan.basePackages()) {
                        String[] tokenized = StringUtils.tokenizeToStringArray(this.environment.resolvePlaceholders(pkg),
                                ConfigurableApplicationContext.CONFIG_LOCATION_DELIMITERS);
                        Collections.addAll(basePackages, tokenized);
                    }
                    for (Class clazz : componentScan.basePackageClasses()) {
                        basePackages.add(ClassUtils.getPackageName(clazz));
                    }
                    if (basePackages.isEmpty()) {
                        basePackages.add(ClassUtils.getPackageName(beanClass));
                    }
                    collectedBasePackages.addAll(basePackages);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void removeAiServicesWithInactiveProfiles(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
        Arrays.stream(registry.getBeanDefinitionNames())
                .filter(beanName -> {
                    try {
                        BeanDefinition beanDefinition = registry.getBeanDefinition(beanName);
                        if (beanDefinition.getBeanClassName() != null) {
                            Class beanClass = Class.forName(beanDefinition.getBeanClassName());
                            if (beanClass.isAnnotationPresent(AiService.class)
                                    && beanClass.isAnnotationPresent(Profile.class)) {
                                Profile profileAnnotation = beanClass.getAnnotation(Profile.class);
                                String[] profiles = profileAnnotation.value();
                                return !environment.matchesProfiles(profiles);
                            }
                        }
                    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                        // should not happen
                    }

                    return false;
                }).forEach(registry::removeBeanDefinition);
    }

    @Override
    public void setEnvironment(Environment environment) {
        this.environment = environment;
    }
}

AiServiceScannerProcessor实现了
BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor接口，其
postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry通过ClassPathAiServiceScanner去扫描@AiService注解的类

ClassPathAiServiceScanner

dev/langchain4j/service/spring/ClassPathAiServiceScanner.java

class ClassPathAiServiceScanner extends ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner {

    ClassPathAiServiceScanner(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry, boolean useDefaultFilters) {
        super(registry, useDefaultFilters);
        addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(AiService.class));
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isCandidateComponent(AnnotatedBeanDefinition beanDefinition) {
        AnnotationMetadata annotationMetadata = beanDefinition.getMetadata();
        return annotationMetadata.isInterface() && annotationMetadata.isIndependent();
    }
}

ClassPathAiServiceScanner继承了
ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner，其构造器新增了AiService类型的AnnotationTypeFilter，其isCandidateComponent要求被扫描到的类是接口，而且是独立的(top-level的class或者是静态内部class)

ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner

org/springframework/context/annotation/ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner.java

	protected Set doScan(String... basePackages) {
		Assert.notEmpty(basePackages, "At least one base package must be specified");
		Set beanDefinitions = new LinkedHashSet<>();
		for (String basePackage : basePackages) {
			Set candidates = findCandidateComponents(basePackage);
			for (BeanDefinition candidate : candidates) {
				ScopeMetadata scopeMetadata = this.scopeMetadataResolver.resolveScopeMetadata(candidate);
				candidate.setScope(scopeMetadata.getScopeName());
				String beanName = this.beanNameGenerator.generateBeanName(candidate, this.registry);
				if (candidate instanceof AbstractBeanDefinition abstractBeanDefinition) {
					postProcessBeanDefinition(abstractBeanDefinition, beanName);
				}
				if (candidate instanceof AnnotatedBeanDefinition annotatedBeanDefinition) {
					AnnotationConfigUtils.processCommonDefinitionAnnotations(annotatedBeanDefinition);
				}
				if (checkCandidate(beanName, candidate)) {
					BeanDefinitionHolder definitionHolder = new BeanDefinitionHolder(candidate, beanName);
					definitionHolder =
							AnnotationConfigUtils.applyScopedProxyMode(scopeMetadata, definitionHolder, this.registry);
					beanDefinitions.add(definitionHolder);
					registerBeanDefinition(definitionHolder, this.registry);
				}
			}
		}
		return beanDefinitions;
	}

	protected void registerBeanDefinition(BeanDefinitionHolder definitionHolder, BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
		BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.registerBeanDefinition(definitionHolder, registry);
	}	

扫描出来是
ScannedGenericBeanDefinition(既是AbstractBeanDefinition类型，也实现了AnnotatedBeanDefinition接口)，先执行下postProcessBeanDefinition，再执行下
AnnotationConfigUtils.processCommonDefinitionAnnotations处理@Lazy、@Primary、@DependsOn、@Role、@Description逻辑，最后通过checkCandidate判断是否要注册beanDefinition，是则调用registerBeanDefinition通过
BeanDefinitionReaderUtils.registerBeanDefinition(definitionHolder, registry)注册到registry

AiServicesAutoConfig

dev/langchain4j/service/spring/AiServicesAutoConfig.java

public class AiServicesAutoConfig implements ApplicationEventPublisherAware {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AiServicesAutoConfig.class);

    private ApplicationEventPublisher eventPublisher;

    @Override

        this.eventPublisher = eventPublisher;
    }

                        continue;
                    }
                    Class beanClass = Class.forName(beanClassName);
                    for (Method beanMethod : beanClass.getDeclaredMethods()) {
                        if (beanMethod.isAnnotationPresent(Tool.class)) {

AiServicesAutoConfig是个import类，它定义了
aiServicesRegisteringBeanFactoryPostProcessor，在postProcessBeanFactory的时候获取ChatLanguageModel、
StreamingChatLanguageModel、ChatMemory、ChatMemoryProvider、ContentRetriever、RetrievalAugmentor、解析bean注解@Tool的方法、解析标注@AiService的bean，然后给它添加beanReference，之后先removeBeanDefinition再把填充好属性的aiServiceBeanDefinition(AiServiceFactory)重新注册上去，最后发布AiServiceRegisteredEvent事件。

AiServiceFactory

        return builder.build();
    }

    @Override

    }

    @Override
    public boolean isSingleton() {
        return true; // TODO
    }

    //......
}

AiServiceFactory实现了FactoryBean接口，其getObject主要通过AiServices.builder(aiServiceClass)来进行构建，默认实现类是DefaultAiServices，它通过Proxy.newProxyInstance来创建实现类，InvocationHandler的实现主要是处理systemMessage、userMessage、构建chatMemory、toolExecutionContext，最后构建ChatRequest，通过context.chatModel.chat(chatRequest)执行请求，然后解析和适配输出。

小结

langchain4j-spring-boot-starter的LangChain4jAutoConfig自动import了AiServicesAutoConfig、RagAutoConfig、AiServiceScannerProcessor，其中AiServiceScannerProcessor会扫描标注@AiService的类注册到BeanDefinitionRegistry，之后AiServicesAutoConfig会在postProcessBeanFactory的时候填充好相关属性，然后移除掉之前定义的BeanDefinition，把填充好属性的aiServiceBeanDefinition(AiServiceFactory)重新注册上去。
