Isn't there a "Digest" method in some, more public place? JAAS or some cryptography?

In other words, "javac" has no knowledge of Tomcat's internal classes, as it shouldn't.

I'd sugest looking for "Digest" in some of the public APIs of Java platform. That way
you will be transparent to the container (IOW, you'll be able to run your web-app on
something other than Tomcat).
Nix.
