Architecture overview

Goals

The JCaptcha project is design to ease extention, integration and configuration.

  • Extension concerns definition and implementation of new tests. This is achieved throught the core module and the Captcha interface that defines a Captcha test with a high level of abstraction
  • Integration concerns how applications use the JCaptcha framework. This can be achieved throught modules integration which allows developpers to easily add a new module. Each module will provide integration of the CaptchaService implementation and the choosen technology
  • Configuration concerns Captcha tests. This can be achieved throught engine module and the componized CaptchaFactories
  • Configuration also concerns the CaptchaService and modules. This can be achieved throught sevice and its managed implementation that uses the MBean technology, modules provides their own configuration facilities
