Feedback on Pluggable comment authentication in Roller Dave Johnson has designed Pluggable comment authentication in Roller and asks for feedback.
Last summer I tried to integrate JCaptchas in Roller for http://blogs.sun.com. I used their servlet filer implementation: it worked but crashed the server. There amy have been other problems, but one of the big issues with adding some html for authentication in the current comment page is that it will be added for every page view of the details page, wether it is performed by a search engine, or a user who does not intend to post comments. Since then I've had a private email discussion with JCaptcha developer Marc-Antoine Garrigue about JCaptcha integration in Roller and how to do it in the most scalable way and we both agreed that adding a new page in the comment posting flow was the right way to go.
For lightweight authentication methods like TypeKey, Math, or nothing, it's acceptable to generate the auth form in the comment form every time. For more heavyweight methods such as image captchas it is not acceptable. Dave the way you designed your interface makes it possible to add a page in the comment pageflow, but I think you should add a public boolean addpageflow() method to your interface definition to let implementation choose wether the HTML will be generated in a new page or within the comment form. You also need to implement the new pageflow generation: JCaptcha integration will need this. Talk with Marc-Antoine for more details.
