That's actually going to give you really funky results, because some of those bytes won't necessarily map to known characters in your current encoding. Here's the method I use:

  public static String toHexString(byte[] _digest) {
    StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();
    for (int i = 0; i < _digest.length; i++) {
      String hexDigitStr = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & _digest[i]);
      if (hexDigitStr.length() == 1) {
        hexString.append("0");
      }
      hexString.append(hexDigitStr);
    }
    return hexString.toString();
  }

Hi,

AFAIK java's arrays don't override java.lang.Object's toString() method, so you get a textual representation of the internal object ID. To get a String from an array of bytes you should use the
        
        public String(byte[] bytes)

constructor. So try

String calculatedMd5 = new String(result);

instead of result.toString().

HTH,

my function:

String calculateMd5 (String message)
{
MessageDigest myMAC = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");

byte[] messageBytes=message.getBytes();
myMAC.update(messageBytes);
byte[] result = myMAC.digest();

String calculatedMd5=result.toString();
return calculatedMd5;
}

I ALWAYS GOT A STRING LIKE  "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

any help?
Thanks
