That's my fault - in the previous post I was suggesting that it needed to be changed and Eric was pointing out that what you have is correct. I deleted my code just to avoid someone seeing it in the future and thinking it might be correct.

I think i need to encrypt it on the java side so it will read it from the database?

I don't think so - I think if you added an md5() on the java side you'd have to remove one on the server side. Have you tried anything like writing some debug info to a file to see what values you're working with?

One thing, you probably need to html encode the password to handle cases where it has special characters. Maybe doing an md5() on the java side would be a good idea. It might take care of that and any issue where someone might see the url (like server logs).
