kaptcha Description

kaptcha project is a modern version of the SimpleCaptcha project. kaptcha project is a modern version of the SimpleCaptcha project. By default it is very easy to setup and use and the default output produces a captcha that is hard to bust and similar to the ones produced by Yahoo.com.simplecaptcha is a wonderful product. By default it is very easy to setup and use and the default output produces a captcha that is hard to bust. The captcha's it produces by default look very similar to the ones on yahoo.com.However, it seems that simplecaptcha is unmaintained and there is some problems running the project with JDK 1.5. There is a bunch of bug reports, patches and forum messages noting these facts and no new releases or changes in about two years.Why not use jCaptcha? It also is a great project, but it is more of a library rather than a quick solution. The default captcha's that it produces are either too hard to read or not good enough for use on a public website. It's also rather slow. Sure, it is possible to spend a bunch of time learning their api's to produce something useful and I've done that, but the reality is that I would prefer a simple jar I can just drop into my project, put a couple lines in my web.xml and go from there.So, that's the reason and justification for kaptcha. This project is all about a supported, modern version of the existing code. Why the name kaptcha? Because the company I work for starts with a k.
