Pawan Verma commented on OFBIZ-10743:
-------------------------------------
I looked into this issue and below is my findings:
Reason for the error is Underscore in productId which was not escaping during
the barcode generation. I also did some more findings around the barcode API
and found that it uses Code 39 pattern in which underscore is not a valid
character.
I communicated with barcode4j developers mailing list and below is the response:
{code:java}
Hello,
underscore is not a valid character in Code 39!
Only if all of your barcode scanners support "Full ASCII Code 39" (or "Extended
Code 39") you can write the following two characters instead:
%O
So your example would be
message="123%O456"
https://www.barcodefaq.com/1d/code-39/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39
If you can not program your scanners to use "Full ASCII Code 39" you will see
'%O' and not '_'.
{code}
I think it is not a valid issue in case of barcode generation and just an issue
of demo XML data and won't be generated for OFBiz generated primaryKeys.
If we still want to fix this issue I can think of two possible options:
# Replace underscore with any other character(probably dash) in products XML
data.
# Write a helper method to replace the underscore with any other
character(probably dash) while rendering barcode.
Everyone, please feel free to add your comments and thoughts. Thanks!
