Hi Senthil- This is not a Struts question and doesn't really belong on this list, but I'll try to answer it anyway. You are storing the passwords as a hash, which by definition is one-way and non-reversible back into the cleartext. Hashes are mainly used when you want to compare previously entered data to new data to see if they are the same, like an e-mail message. You'll want to use either a symmetric or asymmetric cipher and you'll need to store the encryption key somewhere. Take a look at the javax.crypto package, and here's a few articles about how to solve your problem:
