The setMessageDigest() method of java.security.DigestOutputStream class used to assign the specified MessageDigest to DigestOutputStream object.
Syntax:
public void setMessageDigest(MessageDigest digest)
Return Value: This method has nothing to return.
Note: All the programs in this article won’t run on online IDE as no ‘name’ file exists. You can check this code on Java compiler on your system. To check this code, create a file ‘name’ on your system.
Below are the examples to illustrate the setMessageDigest() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// setMessageDigest() methodimport java.security.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // creating the object of MessageDigest // and getting instance // By using getInstance() method MessageDigest sr = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5"); // creating and initializing // object of OutputStream OutputStream is = new FileOutputStream( "f:/java/name.txt"); // creating and initializing // object of DigestOutputStream DigestOutputStream di = new DigestOutputStream(is, sr); // display the result System.out.println("MessageDigest before assigning : " + di.getMessageDigest()); // assigning the MessageDigest to this stream // using setMessageDigest() method di.setMessageDigest( MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1")); // display the result System.out.println("MessageDigest after assigning : " + di.getMessageDigest()); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (NullPointerException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
MessageDigest before assigning : MD5 Message Digest from SUN, MessageDigest after assigning : SHA-1 Message Digest from SUN,
