http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20990 Add StringUtils.hash(String) and StringUtils.toHex(byte[]) methods. Summary: Add StringUtils.hash(String) and StringUtils.toHex(byte[]) methods. Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Lang AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Struts TokenProcessor class has a method toHex(byte[]) that turns the given byte[] into a String of hexadecimal digits. This functionality is not Struts specific and I've found uses for it outside of Struts. I've written a hash(String) method that takes a clear text String and runs it through an MD5 hash and then the toHex() method to output a 32 character String of hexadecimal digits. This has been useful in hashing passwords and other sensitive data. If there's interest in adding this to commons-lang, I will create a patch file against StringUtils and StringUtilsTest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
