Java EAN-13 Generator

Barcode EAN-13 Generation in Java Class, Jasper Reports, iReport, BIRT

Java Barcode offers the most affordable Java barcode generator for barcode Java professionals.

Java EAN-13 Introduction

EAN-13 is also known as European Article Number 13, EAN-13 Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, EAN-13 Supplement 2/Two-digit Add-On, EAN-13+5, EAN-13+2, EAN13, EAN13+5, EAN13+2, UPC-13, GTIN-13, GS1-13, EAN/UCC-13

A European Article Number (EAN) is a barcoding standard which is a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC) system developed in North America. The EAN-13 barcode is defined by the standards organisation GS1. It is also called a Japanese Article Number (JAN) in Japan. UPC, EAN, and JAN numbers are collectively called Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN), though they can be expressed in different types of barcodes.

Java Barcode EAN-13 Generator - How to generate barcode EAN-13 in Java Class?

The following Java code illustrates how to generate a barcode in Java class:

BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

// set barcode properties
barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN13_2);
barcode.setCodeText("120000000000");
barcode.setSupplementData("22");

// draw and generate barcode to buffered image object
BufferedImage ean13Image = barcode.drawBarCode2Image();

Java Barcode EAN-13 Generator - How to generate EAN-13 barcodes to Java Servlet applicatons?

The following Java code illustrates how to generate a barcode in Java Servlet class:

public class BarcodeServlet extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException
    {
        try {
            BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

            // set barcode properties
            barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN13);
            barcode.setCodeText("120000000000");

            // draw and generate barcode to response's ServletOutputStream
            ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream();

            barcode.drawBarCode2Stream(servletoutputstream);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new ServletException(e);
        }
    }
}

Java Barcode EAN-13 Generator - How to create EAN-13 barcodes through HTTP Request?

Install Java Barcode Generator Servlet application to Tomcat or JBoss, developers need copy the barcode folder to your Tomcat application folder, and restart the Tomcat.
After Tomcat restarted, open your browser and navigate to http://your_tomcat_url:port/barcode/barCode?code-text=120000000000&symbology-type=16
You can also insert barcodes in HTML or JSP pages.

Java Barcode EAN-13 Generator - How to draw & print barcode EAN-13 to java.awt.Image Object

The following Java source code shows how to generate a barcode in a java.awt.Image object:

private static void demoLinearBarcode() throws Exception
{
    BarCode barcode = new BarCode();

    // set barcode properties
    barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN13);
    barcode.setCodeText("120000000000");

    // create image object
    java.awt.image.BufferedImage image = new java.awt.image.BufferedImage(300,300,java.awt.image.BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED );
    // get graphic context of image
    java.awt.Graphics2D imgGraphics = image.createGraphics();

    // draw barcode to specified location in Rectangle
    barcode.paintBarCode(imgGraphics, new java.awt.Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300));
}
