Getting input from barcode scanner internally without textbox

Question

I have a barcode scanner and in my java application I have to bring a popup to display all the information associated with the barcode from database when the product is scan

Answer 1

In some way similar to @Cyrusmith solution I have created a 'proof of concept' solution (with several limitations right now, but you are invited to fix them :) ) trying to solve the limitations on the previous solutions in this post:

• It support barcode readers that doesn't send the ENTER at the end of barcode string.
• If the focus is currently on a swing text component and barcode is captured, the barcode doesn't get to the text component and only to the barcode listener.
