I am in the process of integrating the openmrs-module-cohort and I have run into a situation of 2 controllers (PatientSearchController) have the same name hence cannot be loaded by Spring.
Same Controller Name in different modules - Cohort and HTML Widgets
Listener.performWebStartOfModules(671) |2018-05-23 09:17:25,890| Unable to refresh the spring application context. Root Cause was:
org.springframework.context.annotation.ConflictingBeanDefinitionException: Annotation-specified bean name 'patientSearchController' for bean class [org.openmrs.module.cohort.web.controller.PatientSearchController] conflicts with existing, non-compatible bean definition of same name and class [org.openmrs.module.htmlwidgets.web.controller.PatientSearchController]

Any advice on how to handle this for this instance and going forward

@dkayiwa Please can you show me an example of the recommended approach for webservice API test with mocking that I can use

You should specify a name for at least one of the controllers so that spring doesn’t use its default naming for beans, like @Component annotation the @Controller annotation has a value attribute for this purpose.

@wyclif Do advise on the two:
I think Cohort module is easier to change at this time

@ssmusoke there is no need to rename any of the controllers, in my response I mentioned that all you need to do is to specify a name for one of the controllers as shown below:
@Controller("myController")
public class MyController {
......
}

Possibly do it for both controllers just in case there is another module with a controller with the same name.
