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.

 

Barcode QR-Code Introduction

QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

 

Java QR-Code Generator - Valid Data Scope

Java QR Code Generator encodes:

• numeric data (digits 0 - 9);
  
  
• alphanumeric data (digits 0 - 9; upper case letters A -Z; nine other characters: space, $ % * + - . / : );
  
  
• byte data (default: ISO/IEC 8859-1);
  
  
• Kanji characters.

 

1. How to generate barcode QR-Code in Java class?

   // Create Java QRCode object 
   QRCode barcode = new QRCode(); 
   
   // Set QRCode data text to encode
   barcode.setData("Create-QR-Code-in-Java"); 
   
   // Generate QRCode barcode & print into Graphics2D object
   barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object"); 
   
   // Generate QRCode barcode & encode into GIF format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-qrcode.gif"); 
   
   // Generate QRCode barcode & encode into JPEG format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-qrcode.jpg"); 
   
   

   
   
   

2. How to generate & encode QR-Code barcodes to EPS?

   // Create Java QRCode object 
   QRCode barcode = new QRCode(); 
   
   // Set QRCode data text to encode
   barcode.setData("Create QRCode in EPS"); 
   
   // Generate QRCode barcode & encode into EPS
   barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-qrcode.eps"); 

   
   
   

3. How to create & encode QR-Code 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/qrcode?DATA=QRCode
     
     
   • 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/qrcode?DATA=QRCode" />
     
     
   
   
   

4. How to create & print barcode QR-Code image in Java Servlet class?

   import com.onbarcode.barcode.AbstractBarcode; 
   import com.onbarcode.barcode.QRCode; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; 
   import javax.servlet.ServletException; 
   import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream; 
      
   public class BarcodeServlet extends HttpServlet 
   { 
       public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException 
       { 
           try { 
               QRCode barcode = new QRCode(); 
               barcode.setData("QRCode"); 
                    
               ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream(); 
                 
               response.setContentType("image/jpeg"); 
               response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); 
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); 
               response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); 
              
               // Generate QRCode barcode & output to ServletOutputStream
               barcode.drawBarcode(servletoutputstream); 
         
           } catch (Exception e) { 
               throw new ServletException(e); 
           } 
       } 
   }

8. How to set generated barcode QR-Code image width and height?

   1) You can set barcode image width and height through properties barcodeWidth and barcodeHeight values.
   
   or
   
   2) You can set X (bar module width) and Y (bar module height) values
