Parameters

Parameter	Description
type	Type of object to create. com corba java component webservice The default value of type is component.
context	IOR: ColdFusion uses IOR to access CORBA server NameService: ColdFusion uses naming service to access server. Valid only with the InitialContext of a VisiBroker ORB.
class	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 must 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.
locale	The name of the Java config that holds the properties file. For more information, see Configuring and Administering ColdFusion.

Usage

In the class parameter, if "context=NameService", use a dot separator for the first part of the string. Use either of the following formats:

"/Eng/CF"
".current/Eng.current/CF"
ColdFusion supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). To use this function with CORBA objects, provide the name of the file that contains a string version of the IOR, or the object's naming context in the naming service. Provide the object's attributes, method names, and method signatures.This function supports user-defined types (structures, arrays, and sequences).

Example

myobj = CreateObject("corba", "d:\temp\tester.ior", "ior", 
"visibroker") // uses IOR 

myobj = CreateObject("corba", "/Eng/CF", "nameservice", 
"visibroker") // uses nameservice 

myobj = CreateObject("corba", "d:\temp\tester.ior", "nameservice") 
// uses nameservice and default configuration
