BARCODE in XML Reports

For generating reports with barcodes

1) You should have barcode font in your system i.e. Font name FREE3OF9 (Find as attachment)

2) Copy and paste the attached “Free 3of9” font in your machine directories “C:\WINDOWS\Fonts” and $JAVA_HOME\ lib\fonts

Example Java path “C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_10\lib\fonts”

3) There is one configuration file i.e. file name is “xdo” as attachment)

4) Copy and paste the configuration file in your “XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config”

Example “C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config”
?xml version = '5.5.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?
config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/"
fonts
font family="Free 3 of 9" style="normal" weight="normal"
truetype path="C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\lib\fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF"/
/font
/fonts
/config

include the tags..i removed the tags.as some problems when posting..check the configuration file once..

5) Once you have done the above setups, you can see the “Free 3of 9” font type under your MSWORD font.

6) Which column you have to display as barcode, just put this font to that column.


One thing to take care is convert the data to upper case before generating the XML
do it at the SQL level only..
