The following features of our Java components allow for easy integration into business applications:
- Royalty free - with the purchase of a Developer License the JavaBeans, class libraries and other runtimes are royalty free up to 10,000 users with few other limitations. Review the License Agreement for more details about this license.
- Quality graphics - the JPEG images generated with the encoder are high quality images that do not contain any background dots or distortion.
- Automatic check digit calculation - also, checksum characters can be enabled or disabled for any symbology.
- Auto Size option automatically sizes the images for easier operation.
- JavaBeans support - our Java packages conform to the JavaBeans specification to allow easy integration and customization in your development environment.
- Java container support - the Java classes supplied are a descendant of Java.awt.Canvas; therefore, they can be used in any Java container. The package may also be used as a class library for integration into your application.
- Easy to use servlet - the servlets are easy to embed in dynamic HTML as an image with the <IMG> tag. To learn how, see Inserting Barcodes into HTML.
- Compatible with JDK 1.1 and above - however, JDK 1.2 or greater is required for the servlet or to generate JPEG files. JDK 1.3 is required to use MaxiCode in an application.
- Compatible with headless Java - our java components are compatible with the headless mode of Java in JDK 1.4 and above.
- Code 128 auto encoding - is provided for Code 128 in the linear package. Our Code 128 encoding supports UCC/EAN-128 barcodes including automatic identification of several AIs. More about AIs...
- Selectable orientation - with angles of 0, 90, 180 or 270.
- Flexible sizing options - allow the X dimension, wide to narrow ratio and the barcode height to be adjusted for the intended application and scanning equipment.
- Text options - the human readable text may be enabled or disabled in the linear barcode control. This feature is sometimes disabled by programmers that develop custom formatting for the text.
- Graphic configuration options - include settings for 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 - the Maxicode component provided supports UPS Maxicode symbols including compressed Maxicode.
- Image options - barcodes that are generated can be viewed on the web browser, exported to a jpeg file or saved in a Java.awt.Image object.
- Servlet client compatibility - when the servlet is implemented, it is compatible with all web browsers that can display JPEG images on any operating system.
- Servlet server compatibility - the servlet works on all web servers that support the Java Servlet API. The Servlet API is a set of Java classes that can be downloaded directly from Sun - the Java Servlet Development Kit. When you download the kit, it comes with a set of simple plug-ins that add servlet support to Netscape, IIS and Apache web servers. The servlet is also provided in source code form to allow for custom modification.
- Source code - with your order, the source code is supplied for the applets, graphic encoders and the servlet. The source code for the barcode generation classes should not be needed. However, they can be supplied with the purchase of the Unlimited Developer License and a signed Source Code License Agreement.

Implementation Overview |
The primary use of the applets and servlets in our Java packages is for printing barcodes to a printer from a web browser. We have created a chart on our Internet Barcoding FAQ site that describes the advantages and disadvantages of each type of implementation. Please be sure you understand all of the possibilities before you venture out to place barcodes in your web application.
|
Implementation Examples |
The functionality of our JavaBeans and Applets are contained in packaged JAR files. From these files it is easy to add barcoding to web pages, or just drag the JAR file into your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for JavaBeans operation. The Java class files in the package may also be used as a class library for integration into your custom Java application. The encoder directory in each JAR file is used to create JPG files from the barcode generated and may be removed with WinZip to allow faster load times as an applet.
|
JavaBean Example |
Below is an image of our JavaBean running in the BeanBox. To load the bean in this application, select File - LoadJar, Select the JAR file and then the JavaBean will appear in the ToolBox. Refer to the vendor's instructions for loading JavaBeans in your IDE. Please refer to our bean information document if you are evaluating our Linear JavaBean.
|
Applet Example |
Our Java applets are compatible with Netscape 4 and above, Internet Explorer 4 and above, HotJava and any other browser with a Java virtual machine. This is an implementation of the JavaScript source code for an applet:
<APPLET CODE = "com.idautomation.linear.BCApplet" ARCHIVE = "LinearBarCode.jar" NAME = "TestApplet" WIDTH = 300 HEIGHT = 100 HSPACE = 0 VSPACE = 0 ALIGN = top > <PARAM NAME = "BARCODE" VALUE = "Barcode Test"> <PARAM NAME = "CODE_TYPE" VALUE = "CODE128"> </APPLET>
Click here to run the Linear barcode applet using the above JavaScript.
Applet Pre-Loading
The time it takes to create barcodes on web pages using applets can be reduced by pre-loading the applet on a previous page. This type of implementation places the JAR file in the browser's cache and allows quick barcode generation - even over slow dial-up lines. The following JavaScript code pre-loads the Linear Barcode Package.
<APPLET CODE = "com.idautomation.linear.BCApplet" ARCHIVE = "LinearBarCode.jar" NAME = "PreloadApplet" WIDTH = 1 HEIGHT = 1 HSPACE = 0 VSPACE = 0 ALIGN = top > </APPLET>
|
JPEG File Encoder Example |
Before you can create a JPEG file with the Java Package, you must make sure you meet the following requirements:
- Place the jar or class files in the CLASSPATH - in Windows®,
this is accomplished by modifying the CLASSPATH environment variable to include
the full path to the JAR file. For example, the following will add
LinearBarCode.jar to the classpath:
SET CLASSPATH=.;c:javaclassroot;c:jarsLinearBarCode.jar
You can also extract the files in the JAR files to the classpath root, making sure the proper directories defined in the JAR are created. - Use JDK 1.2 or above - the encoder requires Java 2 or JDK 1.2 or above to create the JPEG files. This is a requirement of the encoder that creates the files, not the class library.
- Java.awt GUI functions must be available in your environment - this is not an issue with Windows® NT and Windows® 2000 servers. In UNIX, if your Java environment has the java.awt library stripped out, then you will be unable to use our Java products. If your UNIX server does not have an X-Window environment, you must connect to a remote X Server or install the X Windows® environment and run an X Windows® session. JDK version 1.4 solves these problems with "headless" mode.
How to create a JPEG file:
This is a very simple example of the Java source code used to create a JPEG file from the Linear Barcode Package.
import com.idautomation.linear.*;
import com.idautomation.linear.encoder.*;
class CreateJPEG {
public static void main ( String [] args ) {
BarCode bc=new BarCode();
bc.code="123456789";
bc.barType=bc.CODE128;
bc.setSize(400,200);
barCodeEncoder bce = new barCodeEncoder(bc, "JPEG", "newfile.jpeg");
System.exit(0);
}
}

Barcode Servlet Implementation Examples: |
Java Servlets are used to add barcode support to a dedicated webserver. Our Servlet is compatible with all browsers and is easy to embed in HTML as an image with the <IMG> tag. Our Java Servlets can be easily hosted on your server or outsourced by an ISP that supports Java Servlets.
Servlet Implementation Example Using JSDK:
- Place the barcode jar or class files in the CLASSPATH. In Windows®,
this is accomplished by modifying the CLASSPATH environment variable to include
the full path to the JAR file. For example, the following will add
LinearBarCode.jar to the classpath:
SET CLASSPATH=.;c:javaclassroot;c:jarsLinearBarCode.jar - Install or verify you are using JDK 1.2 or above. The encoder requires Java 2 or JDK 1.2 or above to create the JPEG files used by the servlet.
- Be sure Java.awt GUI functions are available in your environment. This is not an issue with Windows® NT and Windows® 2000 servers. In UNIX, if your Java environment has the java.awt library stripped out, then you will be unable to use our Java servlet products. If your UNIX server does not have an X-Window environment, you must connect to a remote X Server or install the X Windows® environment and run an X Window session. If your server has problems in this area, we recommend outsourcing to an ISP that supports Java Servlets if possible.
- Install the appropriate
servlet server code on your server and make sure it is in the
CLASSPATH also. For example:
SET CLASSPATH=.;c:javaclassroot;c:jarsLinearBarCode.jar;c:jsdk2.1server.jar;c:jsdk2.1servlet.jar - Per the JSDK instructions, we edit c:jsdk2.1examplesWEB-INFservlets.properties
to include the following statement:
LinearServlet.code=com.idautomation.linear.IDAutomationServlet - Next, we start the servlet server by executing C:jsdk2.1startserver.bat.
- After the servlet server is started, we can type the following code
into our browser and specify applet parameters to create the barcode.
This URL creates the a barcode encoding "12345678" with a
height if .8CM:
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/LinearServlet?BARCODE=12345678&BAR_HEIGHT=.8 - Once the servlet is working, see Inserting Barcodes into HTML.
Servlet Implementation Using ServletExec ISAPI on Windows® 2000 Server:
- In the servlet administration area choose Configure.
- Choose Add Servlet and enter the servlet name, class and code base
as in the example below:
- Choose Submit and choose to Reload the new servlet.
- After this, you should be able to view your servlet online by
entering a URL such as
http://idautomation.reinvent.ws/servlet/LinearServlet?BARCODE=testing
Inserting barcodes into HTML - Once your servlet is working...
- The barcode can be integrated within webpages and HTML forms by using
an IMG tag, for example:
<img src="http://idautomation.reinvent.ws/servlet/LinearServlet?HEIGHT=80&WIDTH=170&BARCODE=12345678&BAR_HEIGHT=.8">
Notice also in the above code that the HEIGHT and BAR_HEIGHT are different. The HEIGHT and WIDTH parameter should be set to the maximum allowed barcode size within a form. - The image that is created defaults to the screen resolution of 96 DPI and may be compressed if necessary to obtain smaller X dimensions.
Because of the screen's resolution, you will only be able to adjust
the X dimension within increments of .03CM. For example, If an X
dimension of .015 is needed, the image on the webpage must be
compressed by 50%. The following
reduces the image by 50%; it will not look correct on the screen but
it will print correctly. This code must be placed in an HTML file to
work:
<IMG height=40 alt="Barcode Image"
src="http://javabarcoding.com/servlet/lin?HEIGHT=80&WIDTH=160&BARCODE=12345678" width=80>
Here is another example that is used to keep the height the same but compress the width by 25%:
<IMG height=200src="http://javabarcoding.com/servlet/lin?BARCODE=94164453268807332649HEIGHT=200&WIDTH=400&CODE_TYPE=INTERLEAVED25&X=.06&CHECK_CHAR=N" width=300> - To see a complete list of parameters that can be used, please refer to the user manuals.
- Other methods of servlet operation can be accomplished by advanced programmers that modify the servlet source code we provide. However, these methods cannot be supported by tech support.
|
Java Servlet ISPs |
We believe the best method of creating barcodes on web-pages is to use Java Servlets. Therefore, we suggest that if your internal web server or existing ISP cannot host Java Servlets, that you outsource this task to an ISP that supports Java Servlets. Your existing web pages may remain where that are now; outsourcing the barcode servlet is possible because the image is retrieved from a URL. The following ISPs are recommended for hosting Java Servlets:
- Reinvent Technologies - provides a full spectrum of ASP, JSP, Java Servlet and FrontPage Windows® 2000 web hosting, web site design, web development, e-commerce solutions.
ISPs - to get listed here, install one of our demo servlets and email us the URL to evaluate your capability.
