34 Chapter 2: Basic ColdFusion MX Administration
ColdFusion MX loads ORB libraries dynamically using a connector, which does not restrict
ColdFusion developers to a specific ORB vendor. The connectors depend on the ORB runtime
libraries provided by the vendor. A connector for Borland Visibroker is embedded within
ColdFusion MX. Make sure that the ORB runtime libraries are in cf_root/runtime/lib.
The following table contains information about the libraries and connectors:
Note: Macromedia will provide implementations of the connectors for some of the popular ORBs.
For those that are not supported, Macromedia will make the source available under NDA to a select
group of third-party candidates and/or ORB vendors.
The following lines are an example of a CORBA connector configuration for VisiBroker:
ORB Name visibroker
ORB Class Name coldfusion.runtime.corba.VisibrokerConnector
ORB Property Filec:\cfusionmx\runtime\cfusion\lib\vbjorb.properties
Classpath [blank]
ColdFusion includes the vbjorb.properties file, which contains the following properties that
configure the ORB:
org.omg.CORBA.ORBClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB
SVCnameroot=namingroot
