[Barcode4j-users] Encoding binary data into datametrix barcode

[Phillip R. <phi...@ya...>]

Hi all... I'm looking to see if the barcode4j library supports creating
datamatrix barcodes from binary data.

A quick look at the javadoc only reveals an option for passing a String into
the generateBarcode method of the DataMatrixBean, but not a byte array.  I
figured I would expirement and try to read in a binary stream and convert it to
a string then pass it in, but I get exceptions thrown with an error message
saying the a non 7bit ASCII character was found.

Is encoding binary data not supported at all, or is there a special trick that
is required to get this to work?

Thanks!
