program to an interface is a term from the GOF book. i would not directly say it has to do with java interface but rather real interfaces. to achieve clean layer separation, you need to create some separation between systems for example: Let's say you had a concrete database you want to use, you would never "program to the database" , instead you would "program to the storage interface". Likewise you would never "program to a Web Service" but rather you would program to a "client interface". this is so you can easily swap things out.

我发现这些规则对我很有帮助:

1. 当我们有多种类型的对象时，我们使用Java接口。如果我只有一个对象，我就看不到意义了。如果某个想法至少有两种具体实现，那么我会使用Java接口。

2. 如果如上所述，您希望从外部系统(存储系统)到自己的系统(本地DB)进行解耦，那么也需要使用接口。

注意有两种方法来考虑何时使用它们。

If you program in Java, JDBC is a good example. JDBC defines a set of interfaces but says nothing about the implementation. Your applications can be written against this set of interfaces. In theory, you pick some JDBC driver and your application would just work. If you discover there's a faster or "better" or cheaper JDBC driver or for whatever reason, you can again in theory re-configure your property file, and without having to make any change in your application, your application would still work.

接口编程与我们在Java或。net中看到的抽象接口完全没有关系。它甚至不是面向对象的概念。

它的意思是不要乱动对象或数据结构的内部结构。使用抽象程序接口(API)与数据交互。在Java或c#中，这意味着使用公共属性和方法，而不是原始字段访问。对于C语言来说，这意味着使用函数而不是原始指针。

EDIT:对于数据库，这意味着使用视图和存储过程，而不是直接访问表。

下面是一个简单的示例，用于说明如何对航班预订系统进行编程。

//This interface is very flexible and abstract
    addPassenger(Plane seat, Ticket ticket); 

//Boeing is implementation of Plane
    addPassenger(Boeing747 seat, EconomyTicket ticket); 
    addPassenger(Cessna, BusinessClass ticket);


    addPassenger(J15, E87687); 

面向接口而不是实现的代码与Java无关，也与它的接口构造无关。

这个概念是在模式/四人帮的书中突出的，但很可能在那之前就已经存在了。这个概念在Java出现之前就已经存在了。

Java Interface构造的创建就是为了帮助实现这一想法(以及其他一些事情)，人们过于关注作为意义中心的构造，而不是最初的意图。然而，这也是为什么我们在Java、c++、c#等语言中有公共和私有方法和属性的原因。

It means just interact with an object or system's public interface. Don't worry or even anticipate how it does what it does internally. Don't worry about how it is implemented. In object-oriented code, it is why we have public vs. private methods/attributes. We are intended to use the public methods because the private methods are there only for use internally, within the class. They make up the implementation of the class and can be changed as required without changing the public interface. Assume that regarding functionality, a method on a class will perform the same operation with the same expected result every time you call it with the same parameters. It allows the author to change how the class works, its implementation, without breaking how people interact with it.

And you can program to the interface, not the implementation without ever using an Interface construct. You can program to the interface not the implementation in C++, which does not have an Interface construct. You can integrate two massive enterprise systems much more robustly as long as they interact through public interfaces (contracts) rather than calling methods on objects internal to the systems. The interfaces are expected to always react the same expected way given the same input parameters; if implemented to the interface and not the implementation. The concept works in many places.

不要认为Java接口与“面向接口编程，而不是面向实现”的概念有什么关系。它们可以帮助应用概念，但它们不是概念。
