BeanFactoryPostProcessor and hierarchical contexts?

[memelet]

Is it intended that BeanFactoryPostProcessor defined in a parent context not be applied to child contexts?

Use case: I've setup a CustomEditorConfigurer with application-wide property edtors in the appication-level context. Then at runtime, I am creating instances of child context that require these property editors.

I have the same issue for other BeanFactoryPostProcessor that I would like to define once in the parent context and be applied to child contexts.

Do I need to place all the post-processors in their own xml file and import them into each context at each level?
