That would be a very unusual and ill-advised place. Adding a resource to services.xml for that service and putting custom beans into it is the normal way. Beans should be scoped to the subsystems where they're used.

It's about the same complexity either way but more confusing when I don't have anything telling me why I have a second encoder sitting there running globally and then have to leave it there forever because I'm afraid I'll break something. An activation condition is self-documenting. SP goes away and I know exactly what I did and what to remove.
