Sandbox security
Sandbox security lets you secure the
CreateObject function by type. You can now turn off access
to Java, COM, or Web Service objects without turning off access to ColdFusion components
through the
CreateObject function.
Note: Turning off access to Java, COM, or Web Service objects using the CreateObject function also
turns off access using the
cfobject tag.
User-defined functions
You can now call user-defined functions using the same name as the following obsolete advanced
security functions:
IsAuthenticated, IsAuthorized, IsProtected, AuthenticatedUser, and
AuthenticateContext.
Localization
ColdFusion MX 7 supports all the locales that Java supports. You can use the
GetLocaleDisplayName function to get a locale value and display the name in a manner that is
appropriate to a specific locale.
Enhanced font support
ColdFusion MX 7 supports font files that do not have a default code page, or that have non-
ASCII names.
Enhanced PDF and SWF streaming support
ColdFusion MX 7 can now recognize Microsoft Internet Explorer agent conttype requests, and
can send back content type responses. This results in more reliable PDF and SWF streaming in
Internet Explorer.
