History
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 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 (in earlier releases, the format was "Macromedia.Eng.CF"): "Macromedia/Eng/CF" "Macromedia.current/Eng.current/CF" For CORBA object: changed the locale attribute; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.
For more information, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
