Decorater Pattern

The Decorator design pattern can be usefully applied to J2EE projects. In this article, Budi Kurniawan shows how to decorate Servlet request objects, and how this can be used to create more powerful servlet filters.

rating comment: Excellent illustration of the Decorater pattern, on the basis of a real world example!

TikeSwing

TikeSwing is an open source Swing framework that provides a high-level Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and simplifies the usage of Swing components. The framework supports the plain-old-Java-object (POJO) programming model by connecting view components directly to JavaBeans. This article describes TikeSwing's features and demonstrates how to build a clear MVC architecture with the framework.

rating comment: The framework seems to be quite complicated. I might check it out, but I'm not too sure if there'll be a real benefit, considering the time you need to invest getting to know the framework.
