If you put the ojb.field tag into the interface Javadoc, then they'll
be anonymous. If you want non-anonymous ones, then you need to create
declarations for the getters/setters for these fields in the interface
and tag them with ojb.field accordingly, if you want OJB to be able to
use them via the interface.
