Java Codabar Generator - 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.
Codabar Barcode Introduction
Codabar is a linear barcode symbology developed
in 1972 by Pitney Bowes Corp.
It is also known as Codeabar, Ames Code, NW-7, Monarch, Code 2 of 7, Rationalized Codabar, ANSI/AIM BC3-1995 or USD-4.

Java Barcode Codabar Generation FAQ?
-
// Create Java Codabar object
Codabar barcode = new Codabar();
// Set Codabar data text to encode
barcode.setData("0123456789");
// Generate Codabar barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");
// Generate Codabar barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-codabar.gif");
// Generate Codabar barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-codabar.jpg");
How to generate & encode Codabar barcodes to EPS?
// Create Java Codabar object
Codabar barcode = new Codabar();
// Set Codabar data text to encode
barcode.setData("0123456789");
// Generate Codabar barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-codabar.eps");
How to create & encode Codabar 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=codabar
- 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=codabar"/>
How to create & print barcode Codabar image in Java Servlet class?
import com.onbarcode.barcode.AbstractBarcode;
import com.onbarcode.barcode.Codabar;
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 {
Codabar barcode = new Codabar();
barcode.setData("0123456789");
ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
// Generate Codabar barcode & output to ServletOutputStream
barcode.drawBarcode(servletoutputstream);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ServletException(e);
}
}
}

How to generate & print barcode Codabar image in Eclipse BIRT?
You can stream barcodes into your BIRT reports using Java Barcode Generator.
However we recommend you use our BIRT Barcode Generator Plugin to
generate and print Codabar barcodes in your BIRT reports.
How to set generated barcode Codabar 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
