Using MD5 Encrypted Password in Spring Security

We need following changes in the applicationContext-security.xml of our login example,

<authentication-provider>
<password-encoder hash="md5"/>
        <user-service>
            <user name="sandeep" password="00f1de4e151ccfc1fc9ff735a5efc479" authorities="ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_USER"/>
            <user name="vijay" password="e555f863fb09593119fe2f3459e9783a" authorities="ROLE_USER"/>
        </user-service>
</authentication-provider>

Here,"00f1de4e151ccfc1fc9ff735a5efc479" is the MD5 encryption for "swastik"
We can use http://md5encrypter.com/ to encrypt the password.
