Webserivces are one of the best methods to communicate 2 systems. Data is transmitted between the system over the network needs to be safe. Webservices security is very important.

You can use this for the forgot password component , carrer login page (applicant login) or any other similar pages strighat way.

Following are modified steps from the reCAPTCHA website for the PeopleSoft Implementation.

First, go to the reCAPTCHA web site and create an account. As part of that account creation process you'll have to specify the domain your reCAPTCHA will be protecting. The reCAPTCHA site will will give you a key pair for that domain. The key pair allows you to authenticate your reCAPTCHA requests to the reCAPTCHA servers

Second, Create the HTML Area in the PeopleSoft page where you want the ReCaptcha to apper
in the HTML Defination add the follwing Java script code, you need to enclose it with form tags.
make sure you replace   - with the public key from the key pair created in reCaptcha website.

Download the Java API library in the following location

FIXED format

Be careful when you change the length or starting position of any file fields, or if you insert a new file field between two existing ones. It’s possible to overlay fields. Results are unpredictable.

When you insert a record into a file layout, fields of type Long are converted to type Character, with a length of 0. You must set a field length greater than 0 before you can save the file layout.

CSV format

• Both the qualifier and the delimiter accept a blank as a valid value.
• If a field is NULL, you don't have to use qualifiers. In the following example, Field2 is NULL.
Field1,,Field3,Field4. .
 
XML Format
 
• Your XML input file must contain at least the fields that are specified in the file layout definition you’re using. If the file is missing any fields, the input rowset won’t contain any data.

• If your XML input file contains extra fields that aren’t specified in the file layout definition, the ReadRowset method will ignore the extra fields.

• When you insert a record into a file layout, fields of type Long are converted to type Character, with a length of 0. You must set a field length greater than 0 before you can save the file layout.
