Re: Random String Generator

Looks as if you are trying to captcha some pixel dust!

Man, that has to be an old pun - sorry! But I did make it up just now- really!

I am pulling class source codes, yes.

Why not just put the batik jars on the classpath and put your stuff on top?

Avoiding too many dependencies?
/THorbjørn

The class I started out with was from a midlevel Apache web package
(org.apache.myfaces...) which after all is the whole point of a CAPTCHA.
:) However my goal is a set of calls to return a CAPTCHA via bytestream
or to a file to be available to be merged with output rather than being
called in the JSF code, in other words a generic external source of a
CAPTCHA.

I also just want it to be a standalone jar focused on generating
text images, a functioning app callable from RPG without a huge (or
actually any) dependency on many, many other jars that a full Apache
Batik product would require.

It's not like we have many choices, as far as I was able to
determine only Batik and JAI, which has more caveats mentioned with it
than you can shake a stick at.

It'll be fine, not too many more layers I think. I might even have
caught some code generating a pixel, but could be delusionally wishful
thinking.
