because additionally to the patterns strategies are given. I think these are important to understand the patterns. Thomas.
The Core J2EE Patterns are essential for any J2EE Architect to know. However, part 1 of the
SCEA only tests knowledge of the 23 GoF Patterns. None of which are covered in the Core J2EE book.
BTW, I do feel the Core J2EE Book is required reading for SCEA Part 2 and anyone doing professional J2EE work.
