Object-oriented design anti-patterns

Object-oriented design anti patterns describe bad design solutions to common problems. As such, they are essentially the opposite of conventional design patterns.

The following are common object-oriented design anti patterns:

• Anemic Domain Model
• BaseBean
• Call super
• Circle-ellipse problem
• Circular dependency
• Constant interface
• God object
• Object cesspool
• Object orgy
• Poltergeists
• Sequential coupling
• Yo-yo problem

Many of these anti patterns are closely related to common design maxims.
