I have problems trying to generate an image with qr code via barcode4j library. I've read the following guide but that didn't work out. So here is my code:

When I try to launch the application with
kirill@kirill:~/work/source/fop$ java -jar target/fopqr-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
I get

(See position 12:47)
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE : I also want to add that I read FAQ : 4.1. The FOP extension fails. But as you can see I added all required libraries to my pom.xml file.
There are two issues:
For 2. I can only offer a workaround: add to your pom.xml
in the build <plugins>
:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<mainClass>Main</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
then you can run things with mvn exec:java
and suddenly you should see a different error message:
org.krysalis.barcode4j.BarcodeException: No barcode configuration element not found
at org.krysalis.barcode4j.BarcodeUtil.createBarcodeGenerator(BarcodeUtil.java:110)
at org.krysalis.barcode4j.BarcodeUtil.createBarcodeGenerator(BarcodeUtil.java:146)
at org.krysalis.barcode4j.fop.BarcodeElement.getDimension(BarcodeElement.java:76)
After a while I figured out the code wanted to tell me that there is nothing to render qr-codes. (eg replace your <bc:qr />
by <bc:code39/>
and you should see the lib produces something (not a QR Code of course).
So what to do? Build from source! Have your good old ant
and cvs
ready!
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@barcode4j.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/barcode4j co barcode4j
cd barcode4j
ant
That should do it, except for telling maven. Sure there is a sane way to do it, but what worked for me is:
cp ~/.m2/repository/net/sf/barcode4j/barcode4j/2.1/barcode4j-2.1.pom pom.xml
vi pom.xml # change <version>2.1</version> to <version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
mvn -Dfile=build/barcode4j.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml install:install-file
Now after having faked the jar into our maven repo, fix up the original pom.xml
and update the dependencies (including a downgrade of zxing to 1.7, because the newer version is not compatible):
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.barcode4j</groupId>
<artifactId>barcode4j</artifactId>
<version>2.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.barcode4j</groupId>
<artifactId>barcode4j-fop-ext</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.zxing</groupId>
<artifactId>core</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
</dependency>
I guess it should have been better style to update the barcode4j-fop-ext
to 2.2-SNAPSHOT too, but I leave this as an exercise for the reader. ;)
Anyway, if I run mvn exec:java
now, I get a fop.pdf
with a QR-Code in it. (It does not look pretty, but some fiddling with the config like adding <bc:module-width>2mm</bc:module-width>
or whatever sure fixes it).
I have to admit that I prefer to leave it to someone else to figure out why running the same code from an assembled jar does not work.
