Generate 2D Barcode

I need to generate a 2D barcode based on various fields from a database. Any ideas on how to do this in ColdFusion? If I can generate an image of the barcode, and then refer to it in an image tag in the HTML that would work... but I need to know how to generate the image in the first place. Any help would be appreciated.

Some time ago I needed to do a similar thing. The system was developed in PHP though and there weren't any problems to find free PHP libraries that could generate various types of barcodes.
I haven't heard about any Coldfusion solutions for such problem. In my opinion there must be some sort of Java tool that can generate barcodes. If you find it it will not be difficult to use it in CF.

P.S. I've read somewhere that there is a possibility to use PHP code in Coldfusion. Nevertheless I would definitely try the java path first 😉

I have an irreverant question here, you say you want a 2D bar code, is there such a thing as a 3D barcode?

I should also mention that if you are using the bar codes on PDFs instead of HTML pages, you can use the iText library to add 2d barcodes in DataMatrix and PDF417 formats.  iText is a Java library for modifying PDFs.  I know you said something about HTML pages, but I thought I would throw that in to the mix in case you are barcoding PDFs as well.
