Here is the relevant spec: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/ConstantPool.doc.html#73492 Scroll down to section 5.4.3.4, "Interface Method Resolution". As I read it, this describes checking the types resolved by the loader of the calling class against the types resolved by the loader of the interface. For type safety you really have to do both checks, of course. However, I believe that checking the types of the concrete class against the interface it purports to implement is done when linking that class.
