[kepler-dev] Testing output files

[Dan Higgins]

Hi All,
    In a conference call last week, the issue of testing workflows that 
create files was discussed. As a result, I created a new actor called 
"MessageDigestTest". Given a file name, this actor calculates the MD5 
hash and compares it to a saved value (which can be generated by the 
actor by setting the 'learningMode' flag). If the values agree, the file 
should have the same contents as when the MD5 hash was saved. The actor 
should be useful for testing saved workflows. See the test workflow 
$Kepler/workflows/test/MD5TestDemo.xml
