一 RestTemplate.doExecute

protected <T> T doExecute(URI url, HttpMethod method, RequestCallback requestCallback,
            ResponseExtractor<T> responseExtractor) throws RestClientException {

        Assert.notNull(url, "'url' must not be null");
        Assert.notNull(method, "'method' must not be null");
        ClientHttpResponse response = null;
        try {
            ClientHttpRequest request = createRequest(url, method);
            if (requestCallback != null) {
                requestCallback.doWithRequest(request);
            }
            response = request.execute();
            handleResponse(url, method, response);
            if (responseExtractor != null) {
                return responseExtractor.extractData(response);
            }
            else {
                return null;
            }
        }

　　当使用带有负载均衡的功能时createRequest内有乾坤了

　　

　　

public abstract class HttpAccessor {

    private ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory = new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory();

    public void setRequestFactory(ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory) {
        Assert.notNull(requestFactory, "ClientHttpRequestFactory must not be null");
        this.requestFactory = requestFactory;
    }

    public ClientHttpRequestFactory getRequestFactory() {
        return this.requestFactory;
    }

    protected ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI url, HttpMethod method) throws IOException {
        ClientHttpRequest request = getRequestFactory().createRequest(url, method);
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
            logger.debug("Created " + method.name() + " request for \"" + url + "\"");
        }
        return request;
    }

}

　　getRequestFactory并不是当前HttpAccessor类中定义的，而是在子类InterceptingHttpAccessor中定义的。

public abstract class InterceptingHttpAccessor extends HttpAccessor {

    private List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors = new ArrayList<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor>();

    public void setInterceptors(List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors) {
        this.interceptors = interceptors;
    }

    public List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> getInterceptors() {
        return interceptors;
    }

    @Override
    public ClientHttpRequestFactory getRequestFactory() {
        ClientHttpRequestFactory delegate = super.getRequestFactory();
        if (!CollectionUtils.isEmpty(getInterceptors())) {
            return new InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory(delegate, getInterceptors());
        }
        else {
            return delegate;
        }
    }

　　上一节我们分析了，通过RestTemplateCustomizer 注入拦截器到RestTemplate里，所以这里判断是存在拦截器的。

　　在有拦截器注入的情况下，创建InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory工厂，该工厂就是创建带拦截器的请求实例，因为注入了负载均衡拦截器，所以这里就从InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory工厂创建。

二 　InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory 

public class InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory extends AbstractClientHttpRequestFactoryWrapper {

    private final List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors;

    public InterceptingClientHttpRequestFactory(ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory,
            List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> interceptors) {

        super(requestFactory);
        this.interceptors = (interceptors != null ? interceptors : Collections.<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor>emptyList());
    }


    @Override
    protected ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI uri, HttpMethod httpMethod, ClientHttpRequestFactory requestFactory) {
        return new InterceptingClientHttpRequest(requestFactory, this.interceptors, uri, httpMethod);
    }

}

　　此时的请求已经是 InterceptingClientHttpRequest了，接下来我们看InterceptingClientHttpRequest的execute方法

public abstract class AbstractClientHttpRequest implements ClientHttpRequest {

    private final HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();

    private boolean executed = false;

    @Override
    public final HttpHeaders getHeaders() {
        return (this.executed ? HttpHeaders.readOnlyHttpHeaders(this.headers) : this.headers);
    }

    @Override
    public final OutputStream getBody() throws IOException {
        assertNotExecuted();
        return getBodyInternal(this.headers);
    }

    @Override
    public final ClientHttpResponse execute() throws IOException {
        assertNotExecuted();
        ClientHttpResponse result = executeInternal(this.headers);
        this.executed = true;
        return result;
    }

class InterceptingClientHttpRequest extends AbstractBufferingClientHttpRequest {

    // 略

    @Override
    protected final ClientHttpResponse executeInternal(HttpHeaders headers, byte[] bufferedOutput) throws IOException {
        InterceptingRequestExecution requestExecution = new InterceptingRequestExecution();
        return requestExecution.execute(this, bufferedOutput);
    }


    private class InterceptingRequestExecution implements ClientHttpRequestExecution {

        private final Iterator<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> iterator;

        public InterceptingRequestExecution() {
            this.iterator = interceptors.iterator();
        }

        @Override
        public ClientHttpResponse execute(HttpRequest request, byte[] body) throws IOException {
            if (this.iterator.hasNext()) {
                ClientHttpRequestInterceptor nextInterceptor = this.iterator.next();
                return nextInterceptor.intercept(request, body, this);
            }

终于调用到了上一节开始提到的LoadBalancerInterceptor

三 LoadBalancerInterceptor

public class LoadBalancerInterceptor implements ClientHttpRequestInterceptor {

    private LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer;
    private LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory;

    public LoadBalancerInterceptor(LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer, LoadBalancerRequestFactory requestFactory) {
        this.loadBalancer = loadBalancer;
        this.requestFactory = requestFactory;
    }

    public LoadBalancerInterceptor(LoadBalancerClient loadBalancer) {
        // for backwards compatibility
        this(loadBalancer, new LoadBalancerRequestFactory(loadBalancer));
    }

    @Override
    public ClientHttpResponse intercept(final HttpRequest request, final byte[] body,
            final ClientHttpRequestExecution execution) throws IOException {
        final URI originalUri = request.getURI();
        String serviceName = originalUri.getHost();
        Assert.state(serviceName != null, "Request URI does not contain a valid hostname: " + originalUri);
        return this.loadBalancer.execute(serviceName, requestFactory.createRequest(request, body, execution));
    }
}

　　在RibbonLoadBalancerClient的第一个execute方法以及getServer方法中可以看到，实际上是通过ILoadBalancer的负载均衡器实现类作的chooseServer方法选取一个服务，交给接下来的请求对象发起一个请求。

这里的负载均衡实现类默认是ZoneAwareLoadBalancer区域感知负载均衡器实例，其内部通过均衡策略选择一个服务。

public class RibbonLoadBalancerClient implements LoadBalancerClient {
    @Override
    public <T> T execute(String serviceId, LoadBalancerRequest<T> request) throws IOException {
        ILoadBalancer loadBalancer = getLoadBalancer(serviceId);
        Server server = getServer(loadBalancer);
        if (server == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("No instances available for " + serviceId);
        }
        RibbonServer ribbonServer = new RibbonServer(serviceId, server, isSecure(server,
                serviceId), serverIntrospector(serviceId).getMetadata(server));

        return execute(serviceId, ribbonServer, request);
    }

    @Override
    public <T> T execute(String serviceId, ServiceInstance serviceInstance, LoadBalancerRequest<T> request) throws IOException {
        Server server = null;
        if(serviceInstance instanceof RibbonServer) {
            server = ((RibbonServer)serviceInstance).getServer();
        }
        if (server == null) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("No instances available for " + serviceId);
        }

        RibbonLoadBalancerContext context = this.clientFactory
                .getLoadBalancerContext(serviceId);
        RibbonStatsRecorder statsRecorder = new RibbonStatsRecorder(context, server);

        try {
            T returnVal = request.apply(serviceInstance);
            statsRecorder.recordStats(returnVal);
            return returnVal;
        }
        // catch IOException and rethrow so RestTemplate behaves correctly
        catch (IOException ex) {
            statsRecorder.recordStats(ex);
            throw ex;
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
            statsRecorder.recordStats(ex);
            ReflectionUtils.rethrowRuntimeException(ex);
        }
        return null;
    }
       
    // 略 

    protected Server getServer(ILoadBalancer loadBalancer) {
        if (loadBalancer == null) {
            return null;
        }
        return loadBalancer.chooseServer("default"); // TODO: better handling of key
    }

　　总结下就是最终是通过ZoneAwareLoadBalancer从服务区注册中心选择服务来实现的负载均衡
