Hello my dear friends,

Can anybody explain me how to extract the barcode id from a barcode reader. I need my application to capture the id automatically when a barcode label is shown to the reader. Simply say a jsp with a form has a textfield when the client show the barcode lable to the reader it has to capture the id and put it to the texrfield automatically.


Please I hv to submit my project on july 30th. Can anybody help me.

Barcode readers are generally accessed through serial I/O, e.g. using the javax.comm package (some links are here). The manual of the reader should tell you what to send and what to receive (if it doesn't anyway come with example code).

If you're talking about filling in a textfield of an HTML form in the browser, then you'd need to have an applet running on that page which can access the barcode reader.
 
With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
