cfobject: CORBA object

Calls methods on a registered CORBA object. 

<cfobject 
   type = "corba"
   context = "context"
   class = "file or naming service"
   name = "text"
   locale = "type-value arguments">

cfcollection, cfexecute, cfindex, cfreport, cfsearch, cfwddx

See the History section of the main cfobject tag page.

Attribute Req/Opt Default Description

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.

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.

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