Does Barracuda support existing standards?

Yes. Barracuda is committed to supporting industry standards. Our lead developer, Christian Cryder, is a Reviewer of JSR127, Sun's Expert group for defining an architecture and APIs which simplify the creation and maintenance of Java Server application GUIs. Barracuda utilizes lots of open technologies such as the W3C DOM, Apache's log4j and Xerces, the Java Servlet 2.2+, and others. It fits in quite nicely with just about anything you want to throw at it.
