Syntax
    <cfobject
       type = "corba"
       context = "context"
       class = "file or naming service"
       name = "text"
       locale = "type-value arguments">

History See the History section of the main cfobject tag page.
Usage ColdFusion Enterprise version 4.0 and later supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). To use cfobject with CORBA objects, you must provide the name of the file that contains a string-formatted version of the IOR, or the object's naming context in the naming service; and the object's attributes, method names, and method signatures. User-defined types (for example, structures) are not supported.
Example
    <cfobject type = "corba"
      context = "ior"
      class = "c:\\myobject.ior"
      name = "GetName">

TYPE |
| Optional
Object type: com corba java (The other object types do not take the type attribute.)

CONTEXT |
| Required
ior: ColdFusion uses Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) to access CORBA server. nameservice: ColdFusion uses naming service to access server. This option is valid only with the InitialContext of a VisiBroker Orb.

CLASS |
| Required
If context = "ior": absolute path of file that contains string version of the Interoperable Object Reference (IOR). ColdFusion must be able to read file; it should be local to ColdFusion server or accessible on network. If context = "nameservice": forward slash-delimited naming context for naming service. For example: Allaire//Doc/empobject.

NAME |
| Required
String; name for the instantiated component. An application uses it to reference the CORBA object's methods and attributes.

LOCALE |
| Optional
Sets arguments for a call to init_orb. Use of this attribute is specific to VisiBroker ORBs. It is available on C++, Version 3.2. The value must be in the form:
    locale = " -ORBagentAddr 199.99.129.33  -ORBagentPort 19000"
Each type-value pair must start with a hyphen.
