public interface ExternalIdable
extends Idable

A class implementing this interface signals that it is external id-able. Anything that has an external id by definition should also be Idable as well. Unlike an id, the external id is by definition modifiable. further, something that can have an external id also has an xmlId reflecting a unique id used for persistence. This differs from the regular id in that it is less stringent, it is modifiable, and only needs to be unique. It is not necessarily a number and it does not need to be consecutively numbers from zero.
