Beamer: Global text justification in the `example` enviroment

Question

Using this answer, I can justify text in block environments globally. However, if I replace the block environment by an example environment, the above solution doesn't work:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ragged2e}   %new code
\usetheme{default}

\addtobeamertemplate{example begin}{}{\justifying}  %new code

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Test}
  \begin{example}
    The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over
    the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown
    fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy
    dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped
    over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The
    brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the
    lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
  \end{example}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

How can I justify text in the example environment globally?

The template you want to modify is called block example begin and not example begin

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ragged2e}   %new code
\usetheme{default}

\addtobeamertemplate{block example begin}{}{\justifying}  %new code

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Test}
  \begin{example}
    The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over
    the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown
    fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy
    dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped
    over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The
    brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the
    lazy dog. The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
  \end{example}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
