Tomcat is simply wrapping calls to java.security.MessageDigest. It doesn't provide an implementation of the MD5 algorithm; it just uses the one provided by the installed security-provider. It should also ship with a 1.4 JDK. Other than you JVM vendor, you could also look at cryptex if you want an open-source implementation.
