MD5 Help

Hey everyone... I have a code which is in C which computes the MD5 hash of data from an input file. I am trying to convert it to Java.

I have these questions:

1) The C verion makes use of the API's: MD5Init, MD5update and MD5Final. These functions are avialable in MD5.c However, the Java MessageDigest class does not have these method calls right ? Instead it has: getAlgorithm, update, digest and reset. So is this going to produce the same Message Digest, as the C code will ?

2) The C program reads the input file into buffers of size 4KB and then computes the hash for this buffer. The buffer is an array of 'unsigned char'. So in Java I will have to read the file into an array of bytes of size 4096 ?

Thanks in advance for your help !!!
