design patterns: value objects vs. data transfer objects

[laredotornado]

Hi,

Regarding design patterns in J2EE, I have come across the terms "value
objects" and "data transfer objects". Is there a distinction between
the two or do both terms refer to the same thing?

Thanks, - Dave

In my interpretation, then they are the same.
