Actually the
Front Controller is a generalized enterprise application pattern. As you can see the front controller is actually based on the command pattern. This
article actually mentions that a factory is used to retrieve the appropriate command objects and that a strategy is used for resource mapping.
However don't confuse the
pattern with the
implementation.
The Front Controller
Pattern doesn't necessarily need to integrate other patterns. However a front controller
implementation may have many good reasons for using other patterns to solve various localized problems.
