[snmp] Re: AsnObjectId

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Josh,

I checked AsnObjectId in cvs. My changes:

For deserialization:
- Changed class variable 'value' so it's empty.
- Made default constructor protected.
- Set type=ASN_OBJECT_ID in default constructor.
- Called this() in other constructors, except
   AsnObjectId(InputStream in, int len)

Cheers, Birgit
