How to include a Zebra barcode reader on a J2EE website

Question

I'm trying to implement a zebra barcode reader on a website (in J2EE technology). The idea is when a person consult the site from a mobile phone he/she will be able to scan a zebra barcode.

All I could find was android solution (like ZXing). Do you know any Java api that would do the job ? Maybe my website could communicate with an android app ?

I don't know how to resolve my problem and I'm open to any idea. Thank you!!

You can use the FOSS jPOS library to utilize Zebra's barcode SDK:

On that link scroll down to jPOS driver then continue to download. The jPOS library homepage is here:

Beyond that there are some general purpose barcode scanning library which may work as well:
