Hi vidya,
for protocols, i just relied on John's notes and blue prints.
Design patterns, first i went through GOF book for basic understanding of patterns, then I read cooper to understand the applications of patterns in
java. I got q's on proxy, observer, iterator and factory patterns.
Q's on UML were very easy. There are diagrams and they ask you what type of relation exists between certain classes or identify the type of diagram shown.
