ADF Faces & BC 10.1.3.4: Barcode Printing & ADF version of WebUtil?

Hi all,
Our existing application is built with Oracle Forms/Reports 9i which also uses Oracle WebUtil 10g because we need to print bar code labels. Our oracle forms appilcation invokes "Host" commands which allows it to print directly to the server's printer ports, this is accomplished by invoking WebUtil functionality which somehow bypasses(probably not the correct term to use) the jvm security sandbox. We need to have a similar barcode printing functionality on our ADF Faces/BC application however I'm not aware of the existence of "ADF WebUtil" which can be configured to allow access to printer ports.
Here is some code snipets for the 9i Forms application for printing (which is done through Internet Explore Browser)
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myPrinter, output_str);
If lineType = 'B' Then vertStartTemp := vertStartTemp + vertBStep;
Else vertStartTemp := vertStartTemp + vertAStep;
End If;
End Loop;
/* last line */
output_str := 'P1'||chr(13)||chr(10);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(myPrinter, output_str);
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myPrinter);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(myPrinter);
message(sqlerrm );
Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
END;
Here is some java code which uses the awt library (only works locally due to jvm secuirty sandbox)
public void testZebraBarCode(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
//called from a commandButton action listner. will fail upon deployment to server because its trying to access native resouces.
try {
PrintService psZebra = null;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
psZebra = printJob.getPrintService();
DocPrintJob job = psZebra.createPrintJob();
String s =
// Set Reference Point
// Clear Image Buffer
// Print direction (from Bottom of buffer)
// Set label Length and gap
"R0,0\n" + "N\n" + "ZB\n" + "Q122,16\n" +
"A160,2,0,3,1,1,N,\"DATA: CARUGATE\"\n" +
"B160,30,0,1A,2,7,50,N,\"612041600021580109\"\n" +
"A160,92,0,1,1,1,N,\"AIA AGRICOLA IT.ALIMENT.S - 594679/VR\"\n" +
"P1\n";
byte[] by = s.getBytes();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE;
// MIME type = "application/octet-stream",
// print data representation class name = "[B" (byte array).
            Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(by, flavor, null);
            job.print(doc, null);
        } catch (PrintException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Can anyone point me to the proper direction on how to accomplish this task?
Thanks,

How can i generate BARCODE Images using JAVA Code

Hello ,
My requirement is to generate BarCode Images to Print using JAVA Code.
User will give only
1) String.as Input Parameter and
2) Type of Encoding you want to apply on to the String.
outPut : code should generate Bar Code Images as per the requirements.
can any one help me out with jars ????? or any link which can provide me start.

1) I have requriement like generate doc file with
more than one barcode image on that document.???
So?
If your chosen "doc file" format supports inclusion of multiple images there's no problem.
If it doesn't, choose another format.
2) I am able to generate .doc file but in which
format i should open that doc file.????
The same format you used to create it.
3) Main thing is how can i put more than one barcode
image on that doc file????
That would depend on the file format and the API used to create it.
is any one faced the same problem or gone through
same requirement.
Almost certainly. And they solved it too, given the document I'm looking at right now which is an e-ticket for an airline that has many barcodes and other generated images on it.
So keep on trying, grasshopper, and you may find enlightenment.

Configure client printer in java.awt.print

I am using javax.print and java.awt.print packages

I am not sure this..

Printing to Citizen Thermal Barcode printer

Hello everyone,
I need some direction as to where to go next on this issue.
I am trying to take text data that contains commands with data and ascii control codes for a Citizen Barcode printer and allow my client (a web browser) the ability to print this data to its local printer and generate labels (not the raw data)
I have been able to code a servlet that can prints my barcodes to the local printers on my PC, but I cannot access a client's collection of printers from the web server.
It seems I need to render the data and do a window.print() in Javascript: Here is my servlet code that works when the printer is local to the web server.
        try {
          PrintService psCitizen = null;
          String sPrinterName = null;
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
            sPrinterName = services.getName().toUpperCase();
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Printer " + i + ":" + sPrinterName);
if (sPrinterName.toUpperCase().indexOf("CITIZEN") >= 0) {
psCitizen = services[i];
break;
if (psCitizen == null) {
log(Trace.DIAGNOSTIC, "Citizen printer is not found. Ps Count = " + services.length);
return;
DocPrintJob job = job = psCitizen.createPrintJob();

How can I using a servlet, JSP or Javascript get the user to print the label data from the client browser and have the thermal printer interpret the browser data as commands to print. I don't mind the browser user having to select the printer.
Thanks!

I don't think that you'll be able to do this correctly with JavaScript, as those control codes probably won't be rendered correctly in the web browser. I'm guessing you'll need a signed applet to properly receive the exact commands to send to the printer. You can use the Jakarta HttpClient to receive the exact commands from the Servlet, then some kind of print API to send the commands to the printer.

XML Printing from Java

I have an urgent request from my company's client to implement a feature of printing in our application.
Actually the application is basically an XML Builder which generates XML code at the backend, something like Dreamweaver.
I have no clue about printing in Java, and have not much time to research on this topic. If anybody have a program to send an XML file to print (Color printing if possible), please post here or email me at [email protected]
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated (Dukes Dollars also available).
Thanks

PL/SQL log messages are not printing from Java concurrent program

Hi,
I have a strange issue while submitting the Java concurrent program through PL/SQL.
I have a PL/SQL concurrent program which will invoke the Java concurrent program inside the package by use of "FND_GLOBAL.SUBMIT_REQUEST". It worked and submitted successfully. From that Java concurrent program we are calling some other PL/SQL packages and printing some log messages over there. But problem here is the request is only printing the Java log messages in view log but not the PL/SQL log messages. But if I submit the Java concurrent program directly from SRS form at that it is printing both Java and PL/SQL log messages.
I am just wondering how the log messages has not printed. Please provide your inputs to solve this problem.
Thanks
Suriya

I'm adding log messages in the package body , but these messages are not printing after completion of concurrent prog.
Any suggestions.

Problem with barcode print in Adobe From

Hello All,
We are using Adobe Forms to print our shipping labels and this as been working well for few years now. These labels include readable text and barcodes. The barcodes are 1-D but recently we now have a need to print 2-D barcodes.
We are able to print PDF-417 as a 2-D barcode on the form, but when we try to print Datamatrix barcode, the barcode does not show and instead we just see the text which should have been encoded as 2-D barcode.
We analyze the spool output file on the server to check the correct print controls are being sent to label printer. Our printer is a Zebra S4M using ZPLII. We send test form to our printer which will print two barcodes only (both 2-D), one is PDF-417 the other is Datamatrix. The spool output when viewed in Wordpad, is as below:
^XA
PRALH0,3
^XZ
CI13XA
^LL1219
^FO127,102
^BY3,,203
^B7N,,5,,,N
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^FO127,356
FHFD1234567890
^FS
^XZ
The ^B7 print control is the barcode PDF-417 control code. The Datamatrix control code ^BX is missing and should appear where there is an empty line. If we edit the spool output file and add the missing control code sequence, and then reprint the spool from SAP, then the Datamatrix 2-D barcode prints correctly.
So for some reason, the .zpl spool output file is not being generated with the ^BX control code sequence for the datamatrix barcode. We cannot find any information on why this is so.
We are running ECC6 SP11 (single stack) and ADS is running on a separate dual-stack BI system (NW2004s SP21).
Our Zebra S4M printer firmware is V53.17.6Z, and printer driver is ZebraDesigner 2.6.42 (Build 2382). Our SAP device type which is assigned is AZPL203. Our ADS version is 7.00.21.0.
We are seeing the same problem if we print test label from ECC or BI system. ECC kernel is 700 patch 266. BI kernel is 700 patch 254.
We have found SAP Notes related to incorrect ZPL format in ^BX for NW7.1 and NW7.1 EhP1, but not for NW7.0.
Has anyone else come across a problem like this before? Any advice would be much appreciated and duly rewarded.
Thanks in advance
George

Issue is resolved.
We updated our ADS to 7.11.5.0

Problem in printing a java swing form

Hi,
Could anyone help me on how to set the page margings while I print a java swing form since it is taking a lot of space as margins in the top right top and bottom how do i do that. or is it that java can only print in the printable area or is there any way i can increase the scope of the printable area

I used PrintRequestAttributeSet and set the margins to 0.5 on all four sides by creating an instance of MediaPrintableArea. By default, the margins on all sides comes up as 1.0 inch. Default paper size is LETTER (8.5 x 11).
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0.5f,0.5f,7.5f,10.0f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(component);
if(printJob.printDialog(aset))
printJob.print(aset);
hope it helps.

BarCode scaners in Java Application

Hi,
i m interested in learning how to interface BarCode Scanners in Java application
can ne one give me code snippest for the same ?
i want the scanned value to appear on the selected JtextField..
please help me out..
Thanx in advance
Bye

All the barcode scanners I've used have been treated as keyboard input by the pc. So no special handling is needed to get the barcode into the textfield. If you want it to appear as a barcode in the field, change the font in the field.
When in doubt STFW:
