CreateObject: CORBA Object  
Description
The CreateObject function can call a method on a CORBA object. The object must be defined and registered for use.
 
Returns
A handle to a CORBA interface.
 
Function syntax
CreateObject(type, context, class, locale)
 
History
See the History section of the main CreateObject function page.
 
Usage
In the class attribute, if "context=NameService", use a dot separator for the first part of the string. Use either of the following formats:
  • "Macromedia/Eng/CF"
  • "Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF"
ColdFusion Enterprise supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). To use this function 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 must 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", "Macromedia/Eng/CF",
"nameservice", "visibroker")    // uses nameservice

myobj =    CreateObject("corba", "d:\temp\tester.ior",
"nameservice")    // uses nameservice and default configuration
type  
Type of object to create.
  • com
  • corba
  • java
  • component
  • webservice
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 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
LOCALE  
The name of the Java config that holds the properties file. For more information, see Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.
