cfobject

Creates a ColdFusion object, of a specified type.

Note: You can enable and disable this tag in the ColdFusion Administrator page, under ColdFusion Basic Security, Tag Restrictions.

Extensibility tags

The tag syntax depends on the object type. Some types use the type attribute; others do not. See the following sections:

• cfobject: COM object
• cfobject: component object
• cfobject: CORBA object
• cfobject: Java or EJB object
• cfobject: web service object

Note: On UNIX, this tag does not support COM objects.

cfargument, cfcomponent, cffunction, cfinvoke, cfinvokeargument, cfproperty, cfreturn

ColdFusion MX:

• Changed instantiation behavior: this tag, and the CreateObject function, can now instantiate ColdFusion components (CFCs); you can use them within the cfscript tag.
• For CORBA object: changed the Naming Service separator format for addresses from a dot to a forward slash. For example, if "context=NameService", for a class, use either of the following formats for the class parameter:
  • "Macromedia/Eng/CF"
  • "Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF"

  (In earlier releases, the format was "Macromedia.Eng.CF".)

• For CORBA object: changed the locale attribute; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.
