1. How to generate barcodes in Java class?

   // Create Java barcode object 
   Code128 barcode = new Code128(); 
   
   // Set barcode data text to encode
   barcode.setData("Create Barcode in Java"); 
   
   // Generate barcode & print into Graphics2D object
   barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object"); 
   
   // Generate barcode & encode into GIF format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code128.gif"); 
   
   // Generate barcode & encode into JPEG format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-code128.jpg"); 
   
   

   
   
   

2. How to generate & encode barcodes to EPS?

   // Create Java barcode object 
   Code128 barcode = new Code128(); 
   
   // Set barcode data text to encode
   barcode.setData("Generate Barcode in EPS using Java"); 
   
   // Generate barcode & encode into EPS format
   barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-code128.eps"); 

   
   
   

3. How to create & encode barcode image in html or jsp pages?

   
   
   
   • Under Java-Barcode-Trial package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.
     
     
   • Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=0123456789&TYPE=CODE128
     
     
   • 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=CODE128" />
     
     
   
   
   

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

   import com.onbarcode.barcode.AbstractBarcode; 
   import com.onbarcode.barcode.Code128; 
   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 { 
               Code128 barcode = new Code128(); 
               barcode.setData("0123456789"); 
                    
               ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream(); 
                 
               response.setContentType("image/gif"); 
               response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); 
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); 
               response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); 
              
               // Generate Code-128 barcode & output to ServletOutputStream
               barcode.drawBarcode(servletoutputstream); 
         
           } catch (Exception e) { 
               throw new ServletException(e); 
           } 
       } 
   }
