This book covers patterns in various tier architectures, databases, messaging, and even antipatterns. The book presents the patterns in the context of their use. So instead of learning a pattern but not knowing where to properly use it, you know immediately the usefulness of the pattern. The book has an overview of UML so you will know how to read the design pattern when it is presented later in UML. The book's format is to explain a pattern and why it is needed, to give the pattern use in a UML diagram, then to show code for implementing the pattern. The book is comprehensive. If you are doing J2EE development, you'll find the patterns you need here with enough concrete examples to actually use the pattern in your own development. The book has a handy appendix to allow you to quickly look-up a pattern's use and its UML diagram.
