Barcode sample could not run in 9ias

Question

Oraclebarcode.jar Doesn't work on webserver
I have downloaded the example on how to print a barcode using the oraclebarcode.jar in 9i. It works on my local install of the reportserver(devloper9i), but when I move it out to the webserver(9ias), it doesn't work. It gives this error:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-771: 'beforereport': Fatal PL/SQL error occurred. ORA-39565: Message 39565 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA.
the beforreport trigger code below
globals.barcode_to_use:=BarCodeConstants.BAR_CODE_128;
The jar file is in the reports_classpath, as well as the report. What else to try????

Hello Yong,
Are you using JSP or Paper Layout ?
For JSP, you need to add the jar file to your OC4J environment to do that you can update the server.xml, application.xml (global for all applications in $OC4J_home/config) or orion-application.xml (local to your application, in $OC4J_home/application-deploymnent/<appName>) file and add this entry:
<library parth="<path to >/oraclebarcode.jar">
If you are using paper layout, with in process server, you need to modify your report server configuration file to add the jar file to your Report Engine class path: (this file is in $report_home/conf/rep_<server>.conf)
look for <engine id=rwEng ....
and add this attribute ... classPath="<path to >/oraclebarcode.jar" ...
If you have some problem with memory consumption you can also add some jvm parameter using another attribute
... jvmoption="-Xmx128M" ... (Mmx maximum memory size)
