I have an issue with Lyla Captcha that I just don't understand. There is a
function called getHashReference() inside the captcha service which always
returns an empty string. So it looks like the LRU (Least Recently Used)
cache is not working.
I emailed Mr Lyla Captcha (Peter Farrell) and he said the problem was likely
to be:
"You must init the captchaService into a persistent scope (i.e.
application). I'm thinking you're reloading your application on each
request or having singleton='false' on in ColdSpring."
but I have ColdSpring config file:
<!-- Lyla Captcha Service -->
<bean id="captchaService" class="cfc.captcha.captchaService"
init-method="setup" singleton="true">
<constructor-arg name="configFile">
<value>config/captcha.xml.cfm</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
And I am using the Fusebox-ColdSpring lexicon to retrieve the service, which
I place in the application scope at start up:
<cs:get bean="captchaService"
returnvariable="application.captchaService"
coldspringfactory="servicefactory" />
So my questions are:
1. Has anyone ever implemented Lyla Captcha using ColdSpring and may know
what is happening here?
2. Can you think of something I am not doing right?
Any help gratefully received,
Stephen
