Barcodesoft Java Server Component is a light-weight Java component that generates all kinds of barcode for Java Web application.

It supports all major linear and 2D barcode symbologies: Code39, Code128, UPC-A, EAN13, ISBN, Bookland, Interleaved 25, MSI/Plessey,
Code93, Telepen, Code25, POSTNET, PDF417 and Data Matrix.

Barcode images can be output in different format, like JPeg, BMP, PNG, and TIFF.

The implementation is quite easy and straightforward.

1. publish to a JAVA web server(e.g. TOMCAT)

put the "barcode" folder under the "webapps" folder. you can then visit the application via url : http://127.0.0.1/barcode/barcode-generator.faces

2. generate barcode image in your JAVA program

(1) include barcode/WEB-INF/lib/barcode.jar into your class path

(2) the sample code below shows how to create your own barcode image:

BarcodeFactory bf = new BarcodeFactory();

BSCBarcode barcode = bf.createBarcode("Code39");

/* valid symbologies include "Code39", "Code11", "PDF417", "Datamatrix" */

barcode.setHeight( 60 ); //set the height of the image(in pixel).

barcode.setWidth( 2 ); //set the width of one unit(int pixel).

barcode.setFontSize( 10 ); // set the font for the human readable text.

// ... many other attributes can be custumized.

bf.createImage( "1.jpg" ); // save the barcode image as "1.jpg", supported image formats include bmp, png and jpeg
