solve the issues. The list of patterns you must know are: Intercepting Filter,
Model-View-Controller, Front Controller, Service Locator, Business Delegate,

JSPs to work with the new system. Which pattern can the developer use to solve this
problem?

B. Service Locator
C. Intercepting Filter
D. Business Delegate
Answer: D

Q5. developer has created a special servlet that is responsible for generating XML

copy and paste the compression code into each new servlet. Which design pattern
can consolidate this compression code to be used by all of the data warehousing
servlets?

Locator.
Answer: A, D
