ServletContext initialize Timeout

Question

At deployment time we can do post-deployment action by overriding the method contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) of the ServletContextListener .
Now we have the case that the action needs more time . So the deployment fails by a timeout ( java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException exception).
The time which is needed depends on the executed action . In the method we can compute the amout of time and would prefer to set the timeout there.
A possibility is to trigger the action and execute asynchronous. But this means extra effort.
The question is, is there a possibility to change the timeout programatically or is this a bad idea?

Example code:

  @WebListener
  public class PostDeployAction implements ServletContextListener {

    @Override
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
      final ServletContext svtctx = sce.getServletContext();
      // do something that needs more time
    }
  }

On wildfly application server the deployment fails by error WFLYDC0074.

For wildfly one solution is to increase the value of system property jboss.as.management.blocking.timeout
