Class DigestAlgorithm

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.modifiedselector.DigestAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Algorithm

public class DigestAlgorithm
extends java.lang.Object
implements Algorithm

Computes a 'hashvalue' for the content of file using java.security.MessageDigest. Use of this algorithm doesn't require any additional nested s. Supported s are:

name	values	description	required
algorithm.algorithm	MD5 | SHA (default provider)	name of the algorithm the provider should use	no, defaults to MD5
algorithm.provider		name of the provider to use	no, defaults to null

Since:

Ant 1.6

DigestAlgorithm

public DigestAlgorithm()

Method Detail

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)

Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum. Defaults to "MD5". Other popular algorithms like "SHA" may be used as well.

Parameters:

algorithm - the digest algorithm to use

setProvider

public void setProvider(java.lang.String provider)

Sets the MessageDigest algorithm provider to be used to calculate the checksum.

Parameters:

provider - provider to use

initMessageDigest

public void initMessageDigest()

Initialize the security message digest.

isValid

public boolean isValid()

This algorithm supports only MD5 and SHA.

Specified by:

isValid in interface Algorithm

Returns:

true if all is ok, otherwise false.

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue(java.io.File file)

Computes a value for a file content with the specified digest algorithm.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Algorithm

Parameters:

file - File object for which the value should be evaluated.

Returns:

The value for that file

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Override Object.toString().

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

some information about this algorithm.
