  - DERIA5String
```
public DERIA5String(java.lang.String string)
```
    Basic constructor - without validation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the base string to use..
  - DERIA5String
```
public DERIA5String(java.lang.String string,
                    boolean validate)
```
    Constructor with optional validation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the base string to wrap.
    
    validate - whether or not to check the string.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if validate is true and the string contains characters that should not be in an IA5String.
- Method Detail
  - getInstance
```
public static DERIA5String getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Return an IA5 string from the passed in object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - a DERIA5String or an object that can be converted into one.
    
    Returns:
    
    a DERIA5String instance, or null.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.
  - getInstance
```
public static DERIA5String getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                       boolean explicit)
```
    Return an IA5 String from a tagged object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the tagged object holding the object we want
    
    explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    a DERIA5String instance, or null.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.
  - getString
```
public java.lang.String getString()
```
    Description copied from interface: ASN1String
    
    Return a Java String representation of this STRING type's content.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getString in interface ASN1String
    
    Returns:
    
    a Java String representation of this STRING.
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - getOctets
```
public byte[] getOctets()
```
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in class ASN1Primitive
  - isIA5String
```
public static boolean isIA5String(java.lang.String str)
```
    return true if the passed in String can be represented without loss as an IA5String, false otherwise.
    
    Parameters:
    
    str - the string to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if character set in IA5String set, false otherwise.
