I am studying for the web component exam for
J2EE 6 and when I first looked at the exam topics on the Oracle website, design
patterns was listed. This was in April 2013
There is also a chapter on design patterns in the 2 study guides that I have.
However, when I recently checked the exam topics on the Oracle website, design patterns is not listed. See
Oracle EE 6 exam topics
Therefore my question is, do I need to know Design Patterns for the exam?
