History
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:
•
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 ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide .
•
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:
■
"
Macromedia/Eng/CF
"
■
"
Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF
"
(In earlier releases, the format was "
Macromedia.Eng.CF
".)
•
For CORBA object: changed the
locale
parameter; it specifies the Java config that contains
the properties file.
