Attributes
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.
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.
