History

See the History section of the main cfobject tag page.

 
Usage

ColdFusion Enterprise version 4.0 and later supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). To use cfobject with CORBA objects, you must provide the name of the file that contains a string-formatted version of the IOR, or the object's naming context in the naming service; and the object's attributes, method names, and method signatures.

User-defined types (for example, structures) are not supported.

 
Example
<cfobject type = "corba"
  context = "ior"
  class = "c:\\myobject.ior"
  name = "GetName">
TYPE  
  Optional
 

Object type:

  • com
  • corba
  • java

(The other object types do not take the type attribute.)
CONTEXT  
  Required
 
  • ior: ColdFusion uses Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) to access CORBA server.
  • nameservice: ColdFusion uses naming service to access server. This option is valid only with the InitialContext of a VisiBroker Orb.
CLASS  
  Required
 
  • If context = "ior": absolute path of file that contains string version of the Interoperable Object Reference (IOR). ColdFusion must be able to read file; it should be local to ColdFusion server or accessible on network.
  • If context = "nameservice": forward slash-delimited naming context for naming service. For example: Allaire//Doc/empobject.
NAME  
  Required
 

String; name for the instantiated component. An application uses it to reference the CORBA object's methods and attributes.
LOCALE  
  Optional
 

Sets arguments for a call to init_orb. Use of this attribute is specific to VisiBroker ORBs. It is available on C++, Version 3.2. The value must be in the form: 

locale = " -ORBagentAddr 199.99.129.33  -ORBagentPort 19000"

Each type-value pair must start with a hyphen.
