Syntax

The tag syntax depends on the object type. Some types use the type attribute; others do not. See the following sections:

• cfobject: COM object
• cfobject: component object
• cfobject: CORBA object
• cfobject: Java or EJB object
• cfobject: web service object

Note: On UNIX, this tag does not support COM objects.

History

ColdFusion MX:

• Changed instantiation behavior: this tag, and the CreateObject function, can now instantiate ColdFusion components (CFCs); you can use them within the cfscript tag.
• For CORBA object: changed the Naming Service separator format for addresses from a dot to a forward slash. For example, if "context=NameService", for a class, use either of the following formats for the class parameter:
  • "Macromedia/Eng/CF"
  • "Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF"

  (In earlier releases, the format was "Macromedia.Eng.CF".)

• For CORBA object: changed the locale attribute; it specifies the Java configuration that contains the properties file.
