Getting Started with CORBA

The ColdFusion cfobject tag supports CORBA through the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII). As with COM, the object's type information has to be available to ColdFusion. This requirement implies that an IIOP-compliant Interface Repository (IR) should be running on the network, and that the object's Interface Definition Language (IDL) specification must be registered in the IR.

ColdFusion 5 loads ORB runtime libraries dynamically using a connector. Macromedia provides connectors for some of the popular ORBs. Each of these connectors requires the ORB runtime libraries provided by the vendor. You must license the libraries from the appropriate vendor before deploying them. You manage the connectors on the CORBA Connectors page of the ColdFusion Administrator Server tab. Using this page, you can add a connector and specify the location of the ORB library. For more information, see Installing and Configuring ColdFusion Server.
