Inconsistent Result in DigestUtils.md5(String data) Method for the Same String

Hi In My application I need to calcluate the md5 Hash Value for a string value... for that I have called DigestUtils.md5Hex(String string) method... But it is not produced same result always for a same string... The result is inconsistent. In that md5Hex() method internally md5(string) called. That method returns the different byteArray values for a same string. I am not able to get what exactly happening? Please clarify the issue...

As you can guess, this is not possible. You are probably passing different strings, but you don't know it. They may differ by a whitespace, for example, or some invisible character.
