Hi there! Welcome to BarracudaMVC. Barracuda is a powerful, Java-based Open-Source Presentation Framework (LGPL) that has been around since 2001. Barracuda makes it easier to build secure, maintainable, enterprise caliber webapps by providing better separation between templates and business logic - your markup stays in templates; your coding stays in classes. If you recognize the advantages Java offers, but are frustrated with the limitations of Struts and JSP, Barracuda may be for you:

• Barracuda offers a simple yet powerful Server-Side Component Model that makes it easy to manipulate DOM structures using proven MVC patterns like you'd find in Swing.
• In addition, Barracuda supports Model 2 Flow Control handling with a sophisticated Server-Side Event Model.
• Barracuda also provides a Form Mapping & Validation package to automatically map forms to objects and validate them, along with integrated XMLC Localization support!
• Barracuda offers a number of utility classes in a library called Plankton.

We are recently migrated our docs to a new format, and it's possible you may run into some broken links or missing content - please be patient... (You can get to the old docs index page here).
