I didn't understand what is the difference between a Framework and Disign pattern. I think both provide guidelines of desing for commonly occuring problems. Am I right?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sudhakar,
okay in short:
A framework is a kind of tool helping you solving specific problems in a specific context or domain. I.e.: a framework can help you to develop a webapplication providing a kind of FRAME, you'll modify to your specific requests.
Design patterns are common solutions to given problem domains. A framework could use the Frontcontroller pattern to delegate requests/response to a web application. Also an application with GUI-elements should use a model-view-controller pattern.
Hope, this simple explanation helps...
Have fun,
Ralf
