Captcha: customized message for incorrect response

[accless]

Hi folks,

is there a better way of defining a customized message for incorrect responses than extending the superclass org.jboss.seam.captcha.Captcha and overwriting the getResponse()-Method?

So far this works for me, but is not the most elegant solution:

@CaptchaResponse(message="stupid, that was the wrong answer!")
    @Override 
    public String getResponse()
    {
            
       return super.getResponse();
       
    }

Hi,

thx for that hint. I made a MyCaptcha class extending captcha with the above posted code. But where do I have do configure to take my class instead of the superclass?
Currently only the superclass with the standard text is taken by seam.

Thats my xhtml code

<s:decorate id="captchaField" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
                    <ui:define name="label">#{messages.text_captcha}</ui:define>                         
                         <h:graphicImage value="/seam/resource/captcha" />                         
                         <h:inputText id="verifyCaptcha" value="#{captcha.response}" size="7"
                              required="true" styleClass="text" label ="#{messages.text_captcha}">
                              <s:validate />
                         </h:inputText>
                    </s:decorate>

Thx

Ben

Hi,

I couldnt get this to work on seam 2.3.

Even after i have the message there it still show:org.jboss.seam.captcha.error

the debug log message below does show, confirming somehow it does hit my class...So ur help will be appreciated, i am ok with the std captcha algorith the problem is just the message.

@Name("org.jboss.seam.captcha.captcha")

@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)

@Install(precedence = 40) 

@BypassInterceptors 

public class CaptchaHelper extends Captcha {

    /**

     *

     */

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Logger

    Log log;

    @CaptchaResponse(message = "Wrong answer..")

    @Override

    public String getResponse() {

        log.debug("i was here");

        return super.getResponse();

    }

}
