public AttributeTypeAndValue(ObjectID type,
                             ASN1Object value)

Creates a new AttributeTypeAndValue object with the specified components.

Parameters:

type - an object identifier for the attribute

value - the actual attribute value

AttributeTypeAndValue

public AttributeTypeAndValue(ASN1Object obj)
                      throws CodingException

Creates a new AttributeTypeAndValue object from an ASN1Object.

Parameters:

obj - the ASN.1 representation of an AttributeTypeAndValue structure
