Parameters

Parameter
Description
class
 Required. Specifies, depending on the CONTEXT specification:
  • If CONTEXT is IOR    the name of a file that contains the string version of the IOR. ColdFusion must be able to read this file; it should be local to ColdFusion server or on the network in an accessible location
  • If CONTEXT is NameService    a period-delimited naming context for the naming service, such as Allaire.Department.Doc.empobject
context
 Required. Specifies one of the following:
  • "IOR"    ColdFusion uses the Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) to access the CORBA server
  • "NameService"    ColdFusion uses the naming service to access server. "NameService" is only valid with the InitialContext of a VisiBroker Orb
locale
 Optional. Sets arguments for a call to init_orb(..). Use of this attribute is specific to VisiBroker orbs, and is currently available on C++, Version 3.2. The value should be of the form:
" -ORBagentAddr 199.99.129.33  -ORBagentPort 19000"
Each type-value pair must have a leading "-".

Usage

ColdFusion Enterprise supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). To use CreateObject with CORBA objects, you must provide the name of the file that contains a string version of the IOR, or the object's naming context in the naming service. You also must provide the object's attributes, method names and method signatures.

User-defined types (for example, structures) are not supported.
