I'm going to flat out guess from the code because the C++ works quite
differently I think...

I think AttributeValue as currently defined in Java is a dummy interface.
You would perhaps need to create an XSString and override/specify the
element name you want (AttributeValue). That should probably be cleaned up
and handled by an AttributeValueBuilder.

Also different, since I have a dedicated class and builder for
KeyInfoConfirmationDataType. In Java, I would guess you need to pass in the
schema type you need in a QName to the SubjectConfirmationData builder
method.
