BotDetect PHP CAPTCHA Code Examples Location

After unpacking the BotDetect Captcha library, you can find the Java Captcha examples as .war files in the examples folder. Deploy these examples to your webserver(the webapps folder in Apache Tomcat installations, or in the /autodeploy subfolder of GlassFish's domain folder, etc.) and point your browser to BotDetect Captcha index page (e.g. http://localhost:8080/bdc4-captcha-index), which will guide you to individual examples.

Java JSP Form Captcha Code Example

This code example shows how to add BotDetect Captcha protection to a typical JSP form.

Captcha validation is integrated with other form fields validation, and only submissions that meet all validation criteria are accepted.

This kind of validation could be used on various types of public forms which accept messages, and are at risk of unwanted automated submissions.

For example, it could be used to ensure bots can't submit anything to a contact form, add guestbook entries, blog post comments or anonymous message board / forum replies.

Java JSP Login Form Captcha Code Example

This code example shows how to add BotDetect Captcha validation to simple JSP login forms.

To prevent bots from trying to guess the login info by brute force submission of a large number of common values, the visitor first has to prove they are human (by solving the Captcha), and only then is their username and password submission checked against the authentication data store.

Also, if they enter an invalid username + password combination three times, they have to solve the Captcha again. This prevents attempts in which the attacker would first solve the Captcha themselves, and then let a bot brute-force the authentication info.

Java JSF Login Form Captcha Code Example

The JSF Login Form Captcha code example shows how to add BotDetect CAPTCHA validation to basic Login form filter in JavaServer Faces Web Applications.

To prevent bots from trying to guess the login info by brute force submission of a large number of common values, the visitor first has to prove they are human (by solving the CAPTCHA), and only then is their username and password submission checked against the authentication data store.

Also, if they enter an invalid username + password combination three times, they have to solve the CAPTCHA again. This prevents attempts in which the attacker would first solve the CAPTCHA themselves, and then let a bot brute-force the authentication info.

Java Spring MVC Form Captcha Code Example

This code example shows how to add BotDetect CAPTCHA protection to a typical Spring MVC form.

Captcha validation is integrated with other form fields validation, and only submissions that meet all validation criteria are accepted.

If the Captcha is successfully solved but other field validation fails, the Captcha is hidden since the users have already proven they are human.

This kind of validation could be used on various types of public forms which accept messages, and are at risk of unwanted automated submissions.

For example, it could be used to ensure bots can't submit anything to a contact form, add guestbook entries, blog post comments or anonymous message board / forum replies.
