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)
See also Chapter 38, "Integrating COM and CORBA Objects in CFML Applications" in ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide
History See the History section of the main CreateObject function page.
Parameters
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:

- "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.
