Overview

"This is the only bar code software we could find that works reliably as a Java applet. Using the bar code Java applet in our web system eliminated the need for data entry." - Rich Paladino, Enzo Clinical Labs, Inc., Paramus, NJ
IDAutomation's Java barcode packages are provided in convenient JAR files. Each symbology type is combined into a single JAR file with the Applet, Servlet, Class Library and GIF Encoder included. Additionally, source code is provided for the applets, graphic encoders and servlets in each package.

The JavaBeans, Applets, Servlets and Class Libraries in this package may be used on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine, including Windows®, Linux, MacOS, Unix, Solaris, HP/UX, AS/400 and OS/390 to integrate automated bar coding into internet applications, websites or custom Java applications.

Features

The following features of IDAutomation's Barcode Java components allow for easy integration into business applications:

  • Royalty free with the purchase of a Developer License.
  • Applets are provided for easy integration of barcodes on webpages.
  • JavaBean support conforming to the JavaBean specification allows easy integration and customization in a developmental environment.
    "In searching for a solution, we found the competition’s products harder to implement. We use IDAutomation’s product to convert customer information into scannable applets for importing into Quickbooks. It’s been easy to use and has saved us tremendous time in processing." - William, TigerNet Technologies
  • Servlets are included for server-side Java barcode image generation and are easy to embed in dynamic HTML as an image with the <IMG> tag and support Apache Tomcat.
  • Class libraries are provided for integration into Java applications.
  • High quality images with GIF and JPEG support are generated that do not contain distortion.
  • Java container support is provided by the barcode classes, which are descendant of Java.awt.Canvas.
  • Automatic check digit calculations may be enabled or disabled for many linear symbologies.
  • Auto Sizing options automatically size the images for easier operation.
  • JDK 1.1 and above is supported. However, JDK 1.2 or greater is required for the servlet to generate JPEG files and JDK 1.3 is required to use MaxiCode in an application.
  • Headless Java compatibility allows images to be generated without a graphic environment in JDK 1.4 and above.
  • Integration with Oracle Reports may be implemented using IDAutomation's java class files.
  • Code 128 auto encoding is provided for Code 128 in the linear package and supports UCC/EAN-128 barcodes including automatic identification of several AI's.
  • Orientation may be set to 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
  • Flexible sizing options allow changes to the X dimension, wide to narrow ratio, barcode height, margins and the white space between the bars in the bar code.
    "We found the Java Package to be an easy integration into Oracle Reports and Oracle Forms, making a much easier implementation for barcodes." - Silvio Haueter, Vialis GmbH, Switzerland
  • Text options allow the human-readable characters to be enabled or disabled. The human-readable interpretation is often disabled to allow placement of custom text formatting for specific applications.
  • Graphic configuration options include settings of the foreground and background colors and fonts for human-readable characters.
  • Supplements are supported for 2 and 5 digit EAN and UPC add-ons.
  • Supports UPS barcodes including compressed Maxicode.
  • USPS Intelligent Mail is supported as well as POSTNET, PLANET and EAN128.
  • Bearer bars may be easily created for ITF and all other linear barcode types.
  • White bar increase option increases the amount of white space in the symbol to improve readability in the linear version.
  • Character grouping property places digits in groups of 3, 4 or 5 to improve readability of the text under the bar-code.
  • Source code is provided for all applets, graphic encoders and servlets in the packages. The source code for the barcode generation classes should not be needed; however they may be supplied with the purchase of the Unlimited Developer License and a signed Source Code License Agreement.
  • A hosted version is now available to allow barcodes to be generated without installing any software. IDAutomation’s Dynamic Barcode Generation Service is a fault tolerant, hosted product that performs the same functions of the Java servlet. Barcodes are instantly generated and may be displayed in HTML with the IMG tag; parameters in the URL determine what is encoded. Try the online demo or review the user manual.

Java Servlet ISPs and Hosted Services

To generate barcodes for web pages without installing any software, IDAutomation recommends the Dynamic Barcode Generation Service which is a fault tolerant, hosted product that performs the same functions of the Java servlet. Barcodes are instantly generated and may be displayed in HTML with the IMG tag; parameters in the URL determine what is encoded.
Try the online demo or review the user manual.

Applet Implementations

IDAutomation's Java applets are compatible with Netscape 4 and above, Internet Explorer 4 and above, FireFox, Opera HotJava or any other browser with a Java virtual machine. Please refer to the User Manual for the latest applet implementation information.

JPEG Encoder Example

High quality GIF and JPEG images may be easily created with the included encoder. Below is a simple example of the Java source code used to create a JPEG file from the Linear Barcode Java Package:

    import com.idautomation.linear.*;
    import com.idautomation.linear.encoder.*;
    class CreateJPEGFile {
       public static void main ( String [] args ) {
          BarCode bc=new BarCode();
          bc.code="123456789";
          bc.barType=bc.CODE128;
          barCodeEncoder bce = new barCodeEncoder(bc, "JPEG", 
    "newfile.jpeg");
          System.exit(0);
       }
    }

 Please refer to the User Manual for more detailed encoder examples.

Java Barcode Servlet Implementation Example:

Java Servlets are used to add barcode support to a dedicated web server. IDAutomation offers a tutorial for servlet implementation with Apache Tomcat. Please refer to the User Manual for other servlet implementations and additional information.
