No, they aren't. See http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DesignPatternsBook

Why do you ask?

[marlajee Borstone]

Ilja, I was in impression that all those are GOF design pattern.

Thanks for the link.
However, while going through the link, I can see: except IOC design pattern, all the design pattern are suggested by GOF only.

Actually, I am preparing for some interviews now-a-days.
That means, if I am asked about 'what are the design patterns in java'; would usually mean 'what are the GOF design patterns'?.
Am I correct ?

Actually, I don't think that the question "what are *the* design patterns in Java" makes any sense. There isn't a fixed set of design patterns. There is a set of currently known design patterns, and new ones are discovered every year. So if I was asked this question, I would ask for a clarification.

Actually all of those are patterns from Core J2EE Patterns by Alur et. al.
