Another good book is J2EE Design and Development by Rod Johnson http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764543857/qid=1094730665/sr=8-1/ref=pd_cps_1/102-7925651-9470545?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
It references the core patterns book and gives some real world examples of a few of the most common patterns in the context of showing how to solve design issues. I think a new addition is out called .."Design without EJB" or something like that. It has a download version from Amazon I believe.
