Java Barcode Introduction

Java Barcode is a Java barcode generator which generates high quality 1D (linear) and 2D (matrix) barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects.

 

EAN-128 / GS1-128 Introduction

GS1-128 is an application standard of the GS1 implementation using the Code 128 barcode specification. The former correct name was UCC/EAN-128. Other no longer used names have included UCC-128 and EAN-128. GS1-128 uses a series of Application Identifiers to include additional data such as best before dates, batch numbers, quantities, weights and many other attributes needed by the user.

Java Barcode Generation FAQ?

  1. How to generate barcode in Java class?
    8     Code39 barcode = new Code39(); 
    9           barcode.setData("0123456789"); 
    10          barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode.gif"); 
    

    Barcode Code 39

  2. How to create barcode image in html or jsp pages?

    • Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.

    • Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=CODE39

    • To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.
      For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=CODE39" />
