I think for DIGEST auth, you don't want /any/ hashing for the password
in the user's table. You want the value in your database to be:

MD5(username:realm:password)

Otherwise, you'll have to store it in plain-text (or reversible
encryption) in order to properly check against the incoming hash from
the client.

As Mark says, anything supported by the JVM is legal as a hashing
function, here.
