Attributes
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.
