jasper reports barcode using style-Barcode

Question

I am trying to use barcode in JasperReports for which I am using the barcode4j jar. The jars that i am using are:

• barcode4j-2.0.jar
• commons-beanutils.jar
• commons-codec-1.6.jar
• commons-collections.jar
• commons-digester-2.0.jar
• commons-lang-2.0.jar
• commons-logging.jar
• commons-net-1.2.2.jar
• commons-validator.jar
• db2jcc.jar
• db2jcc_license_cu.jar
• itext-2.1.7.jar
• jasperreports-4.5.0.jar
• log4j-1.2.8.jar
• poi-3.8-20120326.jar

The jrxml file content where I am using barcode is as given below:

<title>    
    <band height="125">    
        <frame>    
            <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="555" height="40" />    
            <componentElement>    
                <reportElement style="Barcode" x="5" y="5" width="400" height="30"/>    
                <c:Code39 xmlns:c="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components"    xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components    http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/components.xsd">    
                    <c:codeExpression>$F{OPA_ACK_NO_PK}</c:codeExpression>    
                </c:Code39>    
            </componentElement>    
        </frame>    
    </band>    
</title>

But I am getting the following error:

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not resolve style(s): Barcode4j
at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.fill.JRFillObjectFactory.checkUnresolvedReferences(JRFillObjectFactory.java:1577)

Please guide me as to what am I doing wrong?

After removing the comment for Barcode style tag, i got rid of that error and got another exception:

I added the required batik, crimson, xerces and xercesImpl jars. But I am getting the following error:

Answer 1

You should add library batik-bridge:

<dependency>
    <groupId>batik</groupId>
    <artifactId>batik-bridge</artifactId>
    <version>1.6-1</version>
</dependency>

Yesterday i had exactly the same problem, i succeded to resolve it by using:

        <componentElement>
            <reportElement x="311" y="166" width="180" height="10"/>
            <jr:barbecue xmlns:jr="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports/components http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/components.xsd" type="Code39 (Extended)" drawText="false" checksumRequired="false">
                <jr:codeExpression><![CDATA[$P{barcode}]]></jr:codeExpression>
            </jr:barbecue>
        </componentElement>

Answer 3

For me adding batik-bridge with below dependency to project pom.xml worked:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
    <artifactId>batik-bridge</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.1</version>
</dependency>
