Sebb updated CODEC-220:
-----------------------
Attachment: MessageDigestHelper.java
Sample implementation as a separate class.
This has the advantage of allowing a consistent approach for all digest
algorithms, without needing lots of methods.
If required the code could be merged into DigestUtils.
The new methods added in 1.11 such as sha224* could be reverted in favour of
the fluent approach.
> Possible more OO-like approach to DigestUtils

>
> DigestUtils is starting to get a bit unwieldy with so many similar static
> methods.
> One approach would be to use a Fluent approach (method chaining).
> e.g. DigestUtils.MDA("My-Digest").digestHex(File f);
> There would only need to be digest,digestHex and update instance methods for
> the different input types, currently byte, ByteBuffer, InputStream, File.
> Whereas at present these are repeated for each digest type.
