JCAPTCHA

[Michele Giunti]

Hi, i'm using jcaptcha with Struts 1.3.
I already configured my web application following the suggestions present at the JCAPTCHA homepage and all works.

Now, I'd like to customize the captcha: I'd like to use another engine than the default one and try to change other options (size, colour, ...).

I tried to follow the suggestion present at the JCAPTCHA homepage:

Basically follow these steps to use another engine in struts:
 
1) create a new service class like this:
 
package mypackage;
import com.octo.captcha.engine.image.gimpy.SimpleListImageCaptchaEngine;
 
import com.octo.captcha.service.image.EhcacheManageableImageCaptchaService;
 
import com.octo.captcha.service.image.ImageCaptchaService;
 
public class MyOwnManageableImageCaptchaService extends EhcacheManageableImageCaptchaService
 
implements ImageCaptchaService {
 
public MyOwnManageableImageCaptchaService() {
super(new SimpleListImageCaptchaEngine(), 180, 100000);
}}and here pass the wished engine (here SimpleListImageCaptchaEngine which I like best) to the superclass...
 
2) in the strus-config.xml pass the new service class to the CaptchaServicePlugin like this:
 
<plug-in className="com.octo.captcha.module.struts.CaptchaServicePlugin">
      <set-property property="serviceClass"
          value="mypackage.MyOwnManageableImageCaptchaService" />
  </plug-in>

but I got some errors/warnings:
- The type MyOwnManageableImageCaptchaService must implement the inherited abstract method ManageableCaptchaService.setCaptchaEngine(CaptchaEngine)
- The type EhcacheManageableImageCaptchaService is deprecated
- The constructor EhcacheManageableImageCaptchaService(CaptchaEngine, int, int) is deprecated

How can I solve this problem?

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot in advance.
