Sandbox security
Sandbox security lets you secure the

to Java, COM, or Web Service objects without turning off access to ColdFusion components
through the
CreateObject
function.
Note:
Turning off access to Java, COM, or Web Service objects using the
CreateObject
function also
turns off access using the
cfobject
tag.
User-defined functions
You can now call user-defined functions using the same name as the following obsolete advanced
security functions:
IsAuthenticated
,
IsAuthorized
,
IsProtected
,
AuthenticatedUser

AuthenticateContext

Localization

GetLocaleDisplayName
function to get a locale value and display the name in a manner that is
appropriate to a specific locale.
Enhanced font support
ColdFusion MX 7 supports font files that do not have a default code page, or that have non-
ASCII names.
Enhanced PDF and SWF streaming support
ColdFusion MX 7 can now recognize Microsoft Internet Explorer agent conttype requests, and
can send back content type responses. This results in more reliable PDF and SWF streaming in
Internet Explorer.
