dependency declaration for interface components

[Trilochan Bharadwaj]

OK, I have following situation:

public interface IController<MODEL extends IModel<ID>, ID extends Serializable> { };

An abstract implementation of this follows:

public abstract class AbstractModelController<MODEL extends IModel<ID>, ID extends Serializable> implements IController<MODEL,ID>{

private IModelService<MODEL> service;

// constructor
public AbstractModelController(final IModelService<MODEL> service){
this.service = service;
}
// CRUD operations... JavaDocs removed for clarity
public abstract ID saveOrUpdate(final MODEL pModel);
public abstract boolean delete(final MODEL pModel);
public abstract MODEL findById(final ID pId);

// getters and setters for service follow
}

Now, What I am doing is:

public final class AssociateModelController extends AbstractModelController<AssociateModel, Long> {
// contructor
public AssociateModelController(final AssociateService pAssociateService){
   super(pAssociateService);
}
}

How would I declare, AbstractModelController in my spring beans config declaration, I assume that a

 <constructor-arg ref="interfaceBeanId" /> 

, But I don't know how to declare an interface dependency on my abstract class and then re-use all the methods like saveOrUpdate, delete findById from abstract model controller class ...

I can understand how would I declare AssociateModelController, but I cannot understand how would I declare AbstractModelController and its interface dependency to allow the above code to work ... Any suggestions?
