Would this be the way to do it ? -- it generates a barcode but looks
different from the one i generated with 'barbecue' (that nativly supports
the B type, but barcode really messes up when running in headless mode)
public Barcode128 createITextBarcode(Order order, int page){
Barcode128 bc = new Barcode128();
bc.setCodeType(Barcode128.CODE128_RAW);
String userValue = createBarcodeString(order, page);
String text = Barcode128.START_B + userValue;
int chk = text.charAt(0);
for (int k = 1; k < text.length(); ++k)
chk += k * text.charAt(k);
chk = chk % 103;
text += (char)chk;
char stopChar = 106;
text += stopChar;
String rawText = Barcode128.getRawText(text, false);
rawText += '\uffff' + userValue;
bc.setCode(rawText);
return bc;
}
