Java Barcode offers the most affordable Java barcode generator for barcode Java professionals.
Java EAN-8 Introduction
EAN-8 is also known as European
Article Number 8, EAN-8 Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, EAN-8 Supplement
2/Two-digit Add-On, EAN-8+5, EAN-8+2, EAN8, EAN8+5, EAN13+2, UPC-8, GTIN-8,
GS1-8, EAN/UCC-8
An EAN-8 is a barcode and is derived from the longer European Article Number (EAN-13) code. It was introduced mainly to use on small packages where an EAN-13 barcode would be impractical; for example on cigarettes, pencils even though not used very common and chewing gum packets.

Java Barcode EAN-8 Generator - How to generate barcode EAN-8 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.EAN8_2);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
barcode.setSupplementData("22");
// draw and generate barcode to buffered image object
BufferedImage ean8Image = barcode.drawBarCode2Image();
// set barcode properties
barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN8_2);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
barcode.setSupplementData("22");
// draw and generate barcode to buffered image object
BufferedImage ean8Image = barcode.drawBarCode2Image();
Java Barcode EAN-8 Generator - How to generate EAN-8 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.EAN8);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
// draw and generate barcode to response's ServletOutputStream
ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream();
barcode.drawBarCode2Stream(servletoutputstream);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new ServletException(e);
}
}
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException
{
try {
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
// set barcode properties
barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN8);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
// 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-8 Generator - How to create EAN-8 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=7777777&symbology-type=13
-
You can also insert barcodes in HTML or JSP pages.

Java Barcode EAN-8 Generator - How to draw & print barcode EAN-8 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.EAN8);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
// 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));
}
{
BarCode barcode = new BarCode();
// set barcode properties
barcode.setSymbologyType(BarCode.EAN8);
barcode.setCodeText("7777777");
// 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));
}
