Plankton

This section of the documentation describes the architecture of the Barracuda Utilities layer (aka. Plankton).

Plankton is really just a convenient term used to describe the org.barracudamvc.core.util.* classes contained within the Barracuda Presentation Framework. Many of these classes address problems that occur across a wide range of problem domains. As such, they can be viewed as belonging to the lower levels of the development food chain, hence the name Plankton.

Plankton classes are used extensively within Barracuda, but as some developers may wish to use these classes in other places as well, Plankton is available as a standalone jar file which can be found in the /WEB-INF/jars directory. Some of the classes may have dependencies on 3rd party libraries (like Log4j and XMLC).
