AngularJS: Using Shared Service(with $resource) to share data between controllers, but how to define callback functions?

In this new scenario you could use a $scope.$watch. The way you use it is as follows.

$scope.countries = CountryService.getCountries();

$scope.$watch('countries',function(newValue){
//need to check if newValue has a value because 
//the first time watch fires it will be undefined.
    if(newValue && newValue.length > 0 ){
        $scope.selected.country = $scope.countries[0];
    }
});

Hope this helps.
