cfobject
Creates a CFML object, of a specified type. The tag syntax depends on the object type. Some types use the type attribute; others do not.
<cfobject name="">
cfobject(name="");
Attribute Reference
type string
The object type. You can omit this attribute or specify component. ColdFusion automatically sets the type to component.
Values:
comcomponentcorbajavadotnetwebservice
action string
* create: instantiates a COM object (typically, a DLL) before invoking methods or properties. * connect: connects to a COM object (typically, an EXE) running on server.
Values:
createconnect
class string
Component ProgID for the object to invoke. When using Java stubs to connect to the COM object, the class must be the ProgID of the COM object.
name string Required
name for the instantiated component.
context string
* inproc * local * remoteIn Windows, if not specified, uses Registry setting.
Values:
inproclocalremoteiornameservice
server string
Server name, using Universal Naming Convention (UNC) or Domain Name Serve (DNS) convention, in one of these forms: * \\lanserver * lanserver * http://www.servername.com * www.servername.com * 127.0.0.1
component string
Name of component to instantiate.
locale string
Sets arguments for a call to init_orb. Use this attribute only for VisiBroker ORBs. It is available on C++, Version 3.2. The value must be in the form:locale = " -ORBagentAddr 199.99.129.33 -ORBagentPort 19000"Each type-value pair must start with a hyphen.
webservice string
One of the following: * The absolute URL of the web service. * The name (string) assigned in the ColdFusion Administrator to the web service.
password string
The password to use to access the web service. If the webservice attribute specifies a web service name configured in the ColdFusion Administrator, overrides any password specified in the Administrator entry.
secure boolean
Default: false
false
Whether to secure communications with the .NET-side agent. If true, ColdFusion uses SSL to communicate with .NET.
Values:
truefalse
protocol string
Default: tcp
tcp
Protocol to use to use for communication between ColdFusion and .NET. Must be one of the following values: * http: Use HTTP/SOAP communication protocol. This option is slower than tcp, but might be required for access through a firewall. * tcp: Use binary TCP/IP protocol. This method is more efficient than HTTP.
Values:
tcphttp
proxyserver string
The proxy server required to access the web service URL.
refreshwsdl boolean
Default: false
false
* yes: reloads the WSDL file and regenerates the artifacts used to consume the web service * no
Values:
truefalse
wsportname string
The port name for the web service. This value is case-sensitive and corresponds to the port element's name attribute under the service element.
wsdl2javaargs string
A string that contains a space-delimited list of arguments to pass to the WSDL2Java tool that generates Java stubs for the web services.
proxyport string
The port to use on the proxy server.
port numeric
Port number at which the .NET-side agent is listening.
proxypassword string
The user's password on the proxy server.
assembly string
For local .NET assemblies, the absolute path or paths to the assembly or assemblies (EXE or DLL files) from which to access the .NET class and its supporting classes.For remote .NET assemblies, you must specify the absolute path or paths of the local proxy JAR file or files that represent the assemblies.
username string
The user name to use to access the web service. If the webservice attribute specifies a web service configured name in the ColdFusion Administrator, overrides any user name specified in the Administrator entry.
proxyuser string
The user ID to send to the proxy server.
Compatibility

<bx:object> in BoxLang Examples Sample code using the cfobject tag
Here created the simple component with user defined function name as multiply.
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="multiply" access="public" returnType="numeric">
<cfargument name="FirstNum" type="numeric">
<cfargument name="SecondNum" type="numeric">
<cfretrun arguments.FirstNum * arguments.SecondNum>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>Calling the above multiply function by using cfobject tag based code.
<cfobject name="multiplyObj" type="component" component="multiply">
<cfoutput>
#multiplyObj.multiply(1,2)#
</cfoutput>Expected Result: 2
Calling the above multiply function by using cfobject script based code.
<cfscript>
cfobject(name="multiplyNum" type="component" component="multiply"){
writeOutput(multiplyNum.multiply(6,7));
}
</cfscript>Expected Result: 42
