title: Load spring context in phases
body: <p>This is one of those strange questions where people would ask - why?</p>
  
  <p>So I will start with why I would like to do this and then go into the issue. I would like to have more control over how the spring context is loaded. For example, I do not want to load the domain and web-api at the same time. That would make the resources available before their dependencies are ready.
  There might also be that I need to check the state of something before I can continue this process. So to say, there will be sequential order between modules/contexts. Maybe not just booting but also in shutdown.</p>
  
  <p>So the issue is that I can't find any information on how to load the domain-context, then when that is finished I would check the state and lastly load the api-context. I would like to do all of this from java-code as I need to control the flow of the start up. I have basics working with SpringServlet loading the web-context. What I have not found any information on is if it is possible to load a context, wait and load another context that refers to the first one.</p>
  
  <p>It might be good to know that I am not using JavaEE nor a container. I am only using embeddded Jetty with servlet and spring. So is there a way this can be done?</p>
