As of Camel 2.14
The barcode data format is based on the zxing library. The goal of this component is to create a barcode image from a String (marshal) and a String from a barcode image (unmarshal). You're free to use all features that zxing offers.
Dependencies
To use Bindy in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-barcode which implements this data format.
If you use maven you could just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-barcode</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> </dependency>
Using the Java DSL
First you have to initialize the barcode data fomat class. You can use the default constructor, or one of parameterized. The default values are:
Parameter | Default Value |
---|---|
image type (BarcodeImageType) | PNG |
width | 100 px |
height | 100 px |
encoding | UTF-8 |
barcode format (BarcodeFormat) | QR-Code |
// QR-Code default DataFormat code = new BarcodeDataFormat();
Marshalling
from("direct://code") .marshal(code) .to("file://barcode_out");
You can call the route from a test class with:
template.sendBody("direct://code", "This is a testmessage!");
You should find inside the 'barcode_out' folder this image:
Unmarshalling
The unmarshaller is generic. For unmarshalling you can use any BarcodeDataFormat instance. If you've two instances, one for (generating) QR-Code and one for PDF417, it doesn't matter which one will be used.
