26 Chapter 2: Changes in ColdFusion MX 7
• The Verity search service consists of three separate processes:
k2server for searching
k2index for indexing
k2admin for administration
• Verity searches now return keyword scores for the alternate keywords returned in the Status
structure.
• Although the Verity search server is very similar to K2 functionality that was previously
available in ColdFusion MX, the interface between ColdFusion and Verity has completely
changed. For example, there no longer is a k2server.ini file.
• There are major changes to the following tags. For more information, see CFML Reference.
■ cfcollection
■ cfindex
■ cfsearch
• There are additional fields in the search results.
• In general, it is no longer necessary to wrap cfcollection, cfindex, and cfsearch calls
within a
cflock tag.
For more information, see CFML Reference and ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide.
Web services enhancements
Web services enhancements and changes include the following:
• The CreateObject function and the port attribute of the cfcomponent tag let you select the
port to use in a WSDL that contains more than one service, such as the MapPoint web service.
• The cfinvokeargument tag has a new omit attribute that lets you omit arguments to a web
service that you invoke.
• The following new cfcomponent attributes and extensions to existing attributes support
ColdFusion MX when publishing document-literal style web services:
■ style="document" switches the emitted WSDL to document/literal style .
■ hint is now used as the document element of the service in WSDL.
■ displayName is now used as the name of the <service> element in WSDL.
■ servicePortName is used as the name of the <port> element in the service.
■ portTypeName is used as the name of the <portType> element in WSDL.
■ bindingName is used as the name of the <binding> element in WSDL.
■ namespace is used as the default namespace of the service.
■ wsdlFile="path to file" causes ColdFusion MX to use the specified file as the WSDL
instead of generating WSDL on the fly.
