Re: Java library of patterns

What about ACE in C++? It has classes that provide patterns. An
example would be the Reactor pattern [p.179 Pattern Oriented Software
Architecture Vol.2] implementation in ACE [p.39 C++ Network
Programming Vol.2]. This is the sort of thing I was talking about
(although I'm not looking for a Java version of ACE). If it is
possible to have a library of patterns in C++, shouldn't it be
possible in Java?


What about ACE? It "implements many core patterns for
concurrent communication software." Good for it. So does
java.util.concurrent.*. I'll be happy to declare it a
pattern library.

Spring provides much support for MVC, Inversion of Control,
Data Mapper, and many more. Very much a pattern library.

log4j implements Neil Harrison's Diagnostic Logger pattern,
and is (deservedly) nearly ubiquitous in the the server
programming world.

java.util.Iterator is a perfectly decent implementation
of the Iterator pattern. Also fairly common in Java
programs.


Maybe you could ask for something more specific?



(If I were tasked with finding a "pattern library in
Java" by someone who obviously didn't know what he was
talking about, I'd be tempted to show up at the next
meeting with a copy of Spring and go home early.)
