Can someone please suggest how to initiate Java Aspose Barcode?

Did you install the jar file in an appropriate folder (one included in the classpath for ColdFusion)? After doing that, did you restart the ColdFusion service to pick up the new file? — Miguel-F, Aug 07 '23 at 18:10
yes jar file was placed as 1st step. ColdFusion services were also restarted. — Anil, Aug 08 '23 at 08:31
Hrm well the error suggests CF doesn't think the jar file is there. Where exactly did you put it (don't answer here, update the question as this is critical information to the question you are asking). — Adam Cameron, Aug 08 '23 at 10:07
Thanks @AdamCameron , jar path has been updated in Question, — Anil, Aug 08 '23 at 12:38

I found my issue, adding answer here for other to refer. The c is small in class name, BarcodeGenerator. My mistake was to use it as BarCodeGenerator, however it should be BarcodeGenerator Working code

<cfscript>
writedump("aspose before test");

try {
    asposeObj = CreateObject("java", "com.aspose.barcode.generation.BarcodeGenerator");
    writedump("asposeObj initiated");
}
catch(any ex){  
    writedump(ex);
}
