Generated Interfaces
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Every table, view, udt in your database will generate an interface that looks like this:
public interface IBook extends java.io.Serializable {
// Every column generates a getter and a setter
public void setId(Integer value);
public Integer getId();
// [...]
}
The purpose of these interfaces is to be able to abstract over jOOQ generated records and POJOs.
Flags controlling interface generation
<configuration>
<generator>
<generate>
<!-- Turn on the generation of interfaces -->
<interfaces>true</interfaces>
<!-- Generated interfaces will not expose mutable components of their implementations, such as setters -->
<immutableInterfaces>true</immutableInterfaces>
<!-- Whether generated interfaces are Serializable -->
<serializableInterfaces>true</serializableInterfaces>
</generate>
</generator>
</configuration>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.

Note, there are numerous problems related to generated interfaces as can be seen in #10509.
