Linear Object Design

Hi ,

I need to design a linear kinda structure of objects. Typically a common object which has child/chidren which further drill down to child/children.

Currently, i 'm looking at a Base Object having a list of child objects and each of this object in the list would have a list of children as well. Basically it is a heirarchical structure, linear in nature. So is any better way of doing this.

Is this somekinda composite pattern ?

Base

List subObjects

List subSubObjects

thanx

This is called a tree. I'm sure there are bajillions of references for designing trees generally, and lots for Java in particular. The SDK comes with a tree implementation in the javax.swing.tree package. Don't let the package fool you - the data storage part has nothing to do with GUIs.
