BotDetect Java CAPTCHA Ant Build Dependency

BotDetect Java Captcha dependency in an Apache ANT Build

Add target to application's Buildfile to get the BotDetect Java Captcha Library jar from git.captcha.com repository:

<!-- Download dependence -->
<target name="get-deps" description="retrieve dependencies manually">
    <echo message="Getting dependencies..." />
    <mkdir dir="lib" />
    <get src="https://git.captcha.com/botdetect-java-captcha.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/com/captcha/botdetect/4.0.beta3.7/botdetect-4.0.beta3.7.jar" dest="lib/botdetect-4.0.beta3.7.jar" usetimestamp="true" />
    <get src="https://git.captcha.com/botdetect-java-captcha.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/com/captcha/botdetect-servlet/4.0.beta3.7/botdetect-servlet-4.0.beta3.7.jar" dest="lib/botdetect-servlet-4.0.beta3.7.jar" usetimestamp="true" />
    <get src="https://git.captcha.com/botdetect-java-captcha.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/com/captcha/botdetect-jsp20/4.0.beta3.7/botdetect-jsp20-4.0.beta3.7.jar" dest="lib/botdetect-jsp20-4.0.beta3.7.jar" usetimestamp="true" />
    <get src="https://git.captcha.com/botdetect-java-captcha.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/com/captcha/botdetect-jsf20/4.0.beta3.7/botdetect-jsf20-4.0.beta3.7.jar" dest="lib/botdetect-jsf20-4.0.beta3.7.jar" usetimestamp="true" />
    ...
</target>

In case your application uses JSF 1.2 you will need to add botdetect-jsf12 instead of botdetect-jsf20.

BotDetect Java Captcha Api is now ready to be used in project.

Reference the target 'get-deps' from previous step in a compile target:

<target name="compile" depends="init, get-deps" description="compile source code">
  <copydir src="${web.dir}" dest="${build.dir}" />
  <mkdir dir="${web.classes.dir}" />
  <javac destdir="${web.classes.dir}" source="${jdk.version}" target="${jdk.version}"
    debug="true" includeantruntime="false" classpathref="compile.path">
    <src path="${src.dir}" />
  </javac>
</target>

Configure BotDetect CaptchaServlet

Next, it is mandatory to configure BotDetect Captcha servlet by adding the following entry to your app's config (web.xml) file:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>BotDetect Captcha</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.captcha.botdetect.web.servlet.CaptchaServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>BotDetect Captcha</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/botdetectcaptcha</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
