Yeah, looks like you almost have it. The MD5'd password should be in pg_shadow in the userCredCol, passwd in this case.
Be advised that you should either use only HTTPS for this, or run Tomcat on the same server as Postgres, or run them both on a secure net behind a firewall on separate machines to prevent your Postgres database from being compromised. MD5 really only prevents snoops on your server from being able to easily read the passwords in pg_shadow.
