I have a function to compute SHA-512 digest.

public Hash hash(byte[] data) {
    return new Hash(org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils.sha512(data));
    }

It gives me the following error

The method sha512(byte[]) is undefined for the type DigestUtils

Moreover, using sha512Hex() instead of sha512() gives me the same error. I have tried

import static org.apache.commons.codec.digest.MessageDigestAlgorithms.SHA_512;

But no use. The only options I seem to have are these:

I am using jdk-11.0.2, and everything else works perfectly fine.

What version of Apache commons do you use? – Johannes Kuhn May 13 '20 at 02:19
I'm sorry, how do you check the version? @JohannesKuhn – Zainab Iftikhar May 13 '20 at 07:52
@JohannesKuhn I have used commons-codec-1.2 and commons-codec-1.9 but neither is working. – Zainab Iftikhar May 13 '20 at 16:16

According to the documentation it is in 1.9. 1.2 is so old I can't even find the release anywhere, and was probably released before SHA512 was even invented. – President James K. Polk May 13 '20 at 17:50
I have figured out that 1.10 was compatible with it. I had spent more than 3 days but I couldn't figure it out. This version thing has done the job. Thank you for giving me the hint. – Zainab Iftikhar May 13 '20 at 23:00
