the modern spring framework has now been able to DI for abstract class properties.
For example:
public abstract class AbstractCacheReader<T extends AbstractMessage> implements ModelCacheReader<T> {
T models;
@Value("${....cache.deployment.directory}")
protected String CACHE_DEPLOYMENT_DIRECTORY;
....
}
with concrete class
@Component
@Slf4j
@Setter
public class ABCCacheReader extends AbstractCacheReader<ABC.ABCModels> implements ModelCacheReader<ABC.ABCModels> {
public ABCCacheReader() {
..
models = ABC.ABCModels.newBuilder().build();
}
....
}
the CACHE_DEPLOYMENT_DIRECTORY would be properly wired onto
ABCCacherReader bean.
