MD5 in the Java Snippet Node

Hi everybody I am trying to implement the MD5 algorithm in the Java Snippet Node, but I am unable to run it succesfully.

More specifically I want to "hash" a column and return the MD5 version of that column, to "anonymize" the information of that column. 

I found the Java Code in a bunch of websites and I particulary liked this one http://bit.ly/29x4uY6. The code is bellow and also I am attaching a workflow with my attempt. 

Any help will be appreciated

Best regards

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
 
public class MD5 {
    public static String getMD5(String input) {
        try {
            MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
            byte[] messageDigest = md.digest(input.getBytes());
            BigInteger number = new BigInteger(1, messageDigest);
            String hashtext = number.toString(16);
            // Now we need to zero pad it if you actually want the full 32 chars.
            while (hashtext.length() < 32) {
                hashtext = "0" + hashtext;
            }
            return hashtext;
        }
        catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
        System.out.println(getMD5("Javarmi.com"));
    }
}

 

Hey,

the String Manipulation node has a function called "md5Checksum" allowing you to compute the MD5 checksum of a given string. Does this help you?

Best,
