Hi, No there is no such option. Even if we would implement a lookup for a default http context factory without a special handling we can still run into ordering problems which I do not like. So, to avoid such situation (ordering) I would propose a solution like: when there is a need for a default http context, I can look for a boolean configuration property (e.g. waitForCustomContext) that tells us to do a lookup and do not proceed till a custom default context factory is there (maybe with a timeout).
