What are all the design patterns we need to know for this exam?
From different messages in this forum it is apparent that there are more patterns asked in the exam than those mentioned in the objectives

Well the objective states only -
Business Delegate
Data Access Object
Model View Controller
Value Objects
I'd suggest you brush up also on the following -
Facade
Factory
Singleton

Perhaps those who have taken the test can shed some more light on this issue :roll:

Manjunath, did you actually get questions on these patterns?

What will you give me if i tell you...
I got a question on Front Controller and Bimodal Data Access was included as a option for a question which sounded in such a way that both DAO and Bimodal data access would have been correct.I got 100% in design patterns though..
But i must confess that i still have lots to learn

Hope this helps,
Manjunath

I'm just thinking aloud here
Bimodal data access is when you shortcut the enterprise layer( ejb etc ) and go to the database directly for quick non-transactional reads. Although you can use it for updates, that is a BAD programming practice.
DAO is when you abstract idiosyncratic persistence methods by exposing a standard and transparent contract to the client.

You are right Ajith..!!
Shucks!! Did you ask this question..?
I thought Satya had asked this question and that's
why i said "What will you give me if i tell you.."
Sorry man..I was trying to pull Satya's legs with his anecdotes..

Well guys I got a question where I had to choose the answer between MVC and Front Component. I chose MVC but then marked it for review. Came back later and reviewed it again. Both seemed appropriate and I started looking for "keywords" like
" multiple views" , "Controller", "forward", "despatch" etc. The keywords pointed more towards Front Component and it turned out to be correct.
Got 2 on DAO but were easy, 2 more on Business Delegate and 1 on Value Objects.
You can expect to get 6-8 questions.
All other Patterns not listed in the objectives do figure in the choices. It helps to know them all.

I had a question where Biomodal data access was one of the options and I think I chose that over the other ones cos none of them made sense for that question. Though I passed the exam I didn't know what that design pattern meant at that point but not I do--sort of.

I've seen Bimodal data access mentioned as a Design Pattern in this thread a few times. From the descriptions above and the one in the Blueprints catalog, it sounds alot like a pattern mentioned at JavaOne last year called Fast Lane Reader. Anyone know if they're the same/different?

Sorry, didn't dig deeply enough before asking. A little more searching came up with the answer:
Also Known As
Bimodal Data Access (in a previous version of this pattern)
Fast Lane Reader
