Sorry for the delay in coming back to you. Alfresco will auto-load any Spring context file that is located on the classpath at "alfresco/extension/*-context.xml" (this is the repo tier rather than the Share tier).

</beans>

Finally, place your new context file on the classpath at "alfresco/extension/my-wqs-context.xml", restart Alfresco, and your new rendition definitions should be bootstrapped.
