History ColdFusion MX 7: For web service object: added the portName parameter, which specifies a port named in the service element of the WSDL. ColdFusion MX: Changed instantiation behavior: this function, and the cfobject tag, can instantiate ColdFusion components and web services. Executing operations on a CFC object executes CFML code that implements the CFC's method in the CFC file. For more information, see ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide.
- 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 parameter; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.
