If you must connect to an osagent in another subnetwork, include the following lines in the
vbjorb.properties file:
vbroker.agent.addr=<IP address of computer running OSAGENT>
vbroker.agent.port=<port>
b Start the Interface Repository and load it with the IDL file that you plan to use, by entering
an
irep command, as in the following example:
irep myir MyIDLFile.idl
c If you plan to use the Naming Service, start it by entering a command as in the following
example:
nameserv namingroot
The name of the Naming Service (namingroot in the previous example) must match the
value for
SVCnameroot in the vbjorb.properties file.
d Start VisiBroker on your CORBA server.
For more information, see the Borland VisiBroker documentation.
5 Restart ColdFusion MX for your changes to take effect.
For more information, see “Managing ColdFusion MX” on page 47.
You can make CORBA invocations from ColdFusion MX.
For more information about integrating CORBA objects into ColdFusion MX, see Developing
ColdFusion MX Applications.
Enabling web services access for Flash Remoting
By default, Flash Remoting cannot access web services through ColdFusion MX 6.1.
To enable Flash Remoting to access web services through ColdFusion MX 6.1:
1 Open the cf_root/WEB-INF/web.xml file in a text editor.
2 Locate the servlet definition for FlashGateway and change the DISABLE_CFWS_ADAPTERS
init-param from true to false.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FlashGateway</servlet-name>
...
<init-param>
<param-name>DISABLE_CFWS_ADAPTERS</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
<description>When set to true, this setting disables the
ColdFusion WebServices Adapters in the gateway.</description>
</init-param>
</servlet>
3 Save the file.
Using a third-party JDBC database driver
ColdFusion MX includes JDBC Type 4 database drivers from Merant and MySQL, and JDBC

Interface (API) for Java programs to access data.)
