  • You can download the MD-5 code from Juho Santeri Paavolainen . It's protected by the LGPL. This is the code I used, but there may be better code available.
  • You can download the MySQL JDBC code from the mm.mysql page at Sourceforge. I used version 2.0.4 to develop this code. Thanks to Mark Matthews who wrote it and continues to update it. It's also protected by the LGPL.
  • The current version of the book's code is here. Please write if you find problems. It's not protected by the GPL or the LGPL, but that may change if I find a way to make it a more real project.
