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 Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.

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 attribute; it specifies the Java config that contains the properties file.

Version 6.1

Comments are no longer accepted for ColdFusion MX 6.1. ColdFusion 8 is the current version.

why is there only information about changes in MX and no stock documentation for this function? List and description of arguments, etc.

The information for this function spans seven HTML pages.
This page and the one that follows which provides an table of contents for the rest of the pages, should have been a single page.
Click the right arrow near the top and bottom of this page to view the next page.

Someone needs to fix this. If this page should be a table of contents, make it a table of contents.
