Barcode Generation with Railo

In a previous blog post, I mentioned that createObject() has a 3rd / 4th argument negates the need to use Javaloader. Some questions have come up on the Railo mailing list and I thought I'd attach 2 working examples (barcode_samples.zip). One is using the Barbeque library found on Sourceforge, the other is using Google's zxing library. Remember, with a little creativity and expanding these samples, this type of code can be baked into Railo natively (e.g.: <cfbarcode>) today by placing the code in special directories (Functions / Tags).

Special thanks to Leigh's (cfsearching) excellent blog for some example legwork in barcode generation.

Bro... I can't download the zip files from the link provided!
It seems to be a 'Bad Link' :).

Sorry for the delay. Example link fixed.

Any chance the link to barcode_samples.zip can be fixed again?

Would really like to check out the examples, but the link isn't working (404).

Looks like the example ZIP file is no longer found.
