I wouldn't say anything to your current boss, cause they'll boot you out the door right there.
I think as long as your resume says that you worked there for 7 years, what you did, etc. you should be ok. To have 7 years of employment is a good thing. Then on your resume have "References available upon request". Honestly, I've never had anyone request a reference, I always bring it up last moment that I have it.
I'd leave it until you're absolutely certain you're leaving and have something lined up to ask for a reference. That's also to watch your own ass if they're going to get rid of you on the spot. Or tell the person you're interviewing with for the new job your predicament, and hopefully they'll be understanding. Lots of people interview for jobs while still working, so if the new place likes you, they'll figure out a way around it.
