spring abstract class

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.
