> We need to achieve FIPS compliance with JBoss 5.1.0 GA. However AbstractAttachmentStore.java seems to be hard-coded to use MD5, which is not an acceptable hashing algorithm. 
> Is there some way besides changing the source code ourselves and hard-coding it to a stronger algorithm? It would be nice if it would try SHA, etc. and some others and only choose to use MD5 if it can't find stronger ones.
