Gof design patterns used in J2EE feature

[Dipesh Sharma]

Hi,

I am looking for a comprehensive list of Gof design pattern associated with J2EE feature. For example mapping of Gof design pattern against J2EE feature in tabular format or some thing like that.

Thanks

Dipesh

I think I posted without completing, what I intended to say was if any one knows of some site or have some notes, that would be of great help to me.

Thanks,

Dipesh

Good question. I was trying to compile a list before I took the exam but I can't find it now, sorry.

If you go through some of the mocks you should get some ideas though.

Some of the more common ones to look out for are: Proxy, Decorator, Abstract Factory, Factory Method etc. as applied to EJBs.

The Abstract Factory vs. Factory Method has been debated before on JavaRanch:

I happened to be asked a question on this topic in the exam. It only had one of the choices though

Some would consider certain types of EJB management as an implementation of the Flyweight pattern...but that is another contentious topic of debate.

Good luck!
