You will need to do it manually so that the spring restart happens once per batch instead of once per module.
I don't like how the module system has to start up, but its worked for the last 5 years and I've never had a chance to refactor it. You must first start the module in the api layer, then start it in the web layer. The latter is where spring is restarted for you (unless you ask it to delay the spring restart). Spring doesn't need to be restarted for all modules, only 90% of them. Your choice of whether you want to support that or not. 1) Load each module. See ModuleFactory.loadModules(modulesToLoad) 2) Then start all loaded modules in the api layer. ModuleFactory.startModules(); 3) Then loop over each started module and "start" it in the web layer: (see org.openmrs.web.Listener.performWebStartOfModules) for Module mod in ModFactory.getStartedModules(): WebModuleUtil.startModule(mod, servletContext, /* delayContextRefresh */ true) // do this only once after all modules have been started WebModuleUtil.refreshWAC(ServletContext, false, null) 4) ??? 5) Profit!
