History

ColdFusion 8:

• Added the .NET/dotnet type

• For web service object, added the WSDL2Java and argstruct parameters

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:

1. 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 the Developing ColdFusion Applications.

2. 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:

   • "/Eng/CF"

   • ".current/Eng.current/CF"

   (In earlier releases, the format was ".Eng.CF".)

3. For CORBA object: changed the locale parameter; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.
