# Configuring Interface Alias

Previous

Next

An interface alias allows an interface to be used to refer to a descriptor instead of the implementation class. This can be useful for classes that have public interface and the applications desire to refer to the class using the public interface. Specifying the interface alias allows any queries executed on a TopLink session to use the interface as the reference class instead of the implementation class.

This section includes information on configuring an interface alias. Interfaces cannot be created in TopLink Workbench, you must add the Java package or class to your TopLink Workbench project before configuring it.
