You are looking at the correct place.

The beans are instantiated by Spring and then the content transformers register themselves with the contentTransformerRegistry.

There's a Java abstract base class with a matching spring configuration called "baseContentTransformer" which will do this for you or you can write your own method to call the "register" method.
