This code is totally unreadable. Whenever I have a complex condition that is 
hard to use I try at least ExtractMethod refactoring 
(http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/extractMethod.html) so that I can at least 
read the code. You can further improve readability with ReverseConditional 
refactoring (http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/reverseConditional.html). You 
can also take a look at 
http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/consolidateConditionalExpression.html.

Subject: [patterns-discussion] Design pattern recommendation

Hello to all the four who replied (I guess a Gang of Four did reply to my 
message!!)
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will certainly look at all of them closely. 
Though it looks I may need the State pattern. I will also buy that book that 
was recommended.

In any case here is the code thats hard to read

Basically thats the code that I am trying to refactor ( I have relabeled the 
methods )

if (call.isNothingReturned() && (cCall.hasLockingCondition() || 
getUtility().usesConfig() )
                && (!call.shouldBuildObject()) && 
(getUtility().externalWriteUtility() || (!call.hasParameters())) && 
(!call.isWriteRequired()))
