This tutorial explains how to create Captcha in JSP and Servlet. This example is created in eclipse IDE and run on tomcat server.  This example using following jar

  • jstl-1.2.jar

The application directory structure will look like as below, if you are using an Eclipse editor for developing the application.

There are the following steps for creating a such application :.

Step 1 :

First we create Dynamic web project "captcha" in eclipse IDE . Again we create "simplecaptcha.jsp" file under WebContent folder. The code of  "simplecaptcha.jsp"  are given as:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<title>Simple CAPTCHA Example</title>

<link href="sc.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

</head>

<body>

<center>

<h3>Simple CAPTCHA Example</h3>

<img id="captcha" src="<c:url value="simpleCaptcha.jpg" />" width="150">

<form action="captchasubmit.jsp" method="post"><input type="text"

name="answer" /><br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit"></form>

</center>

</body>

</html>

Step 2 :

Again we create "captchasubmit.jsp" file under WebContent folder. This file used displays message for captcha code are correct or not. The code of  "simplecaptcha.jsp"  are given as:

<%@ page import="nl.captcha.Captcha"%>

<%

Captcha captcha = (Captcha) session.getAttribute(Captcha.NAME);

request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

String answer = request.getParameter("answer");

if (captcha.isCorrect(answer)) {

%>

<center><b>Correct Captcha Code !</b> <%

} else {

%> <b>In Correct Captcha Code !</b> <%

}

%>

</center>

Step 3 :

 Now create css folder under WebContent  folder and create "styles.css" file under css folder. The code of  "styles.css" below :

body {

color: black;

background-color: white;

font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;

}

Step 4 :

Now you can open "web.xml" file and modify as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"

id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

<display-name>captcha</display-name>

<servlet>

<servlet-name>SimpleCaptcha</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>nl.captcha.servlet.SimpleCaptchaServlet</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>SimpleCaptcha</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/simpleCaptcha.jpg</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

<welcome-file-list>

<welcome-file>simpleCaptcha.jsp</welcome-file>

</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

Step 5 :

Now download  imaging.jar, jstl-1.2.jar,simplecaptcha-1.1.1.jar and standard.jar  jar files and paste under  "WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" directory .

Step 6:

When run  this application on tomcat server the following output will displays as:

Again enter captcha code in text input box and click "Submit" button. If you enter invalid captcha code displays error message as :
