How about the Design patterns book from Gang of Four "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".

And, there is also the Head First Design Pattern book, which is an easy read.

santhosh, you can trust HFSJ. If you want to know more J2EE Patterns in depth refer Sun's J2EE Design Pattern index.

Prateek, the book you've mentioned discusses only the code OO patterns and not J2EE pattern. Anyway, GangOfFour is the defacto for patterns.

We tried to cover everything you'll need to know for the exam, but for a more in depth discussion try "Core J2EE Patterns". GoF and HFDP aren't primarily about J2EE patterns.

In my view,HFSJ is very good .. that should be sufficient.. All the authors have done a very good job...Thank you..
