ColdFusion 8: Added password, proxyPassword, proxyPort, proxyServer, proxyUser, refreshWSDL, userName, wsdl2JavaArgs, and wsportname attributes to for use with web service objects. Added .NET/dotnet type and the associated assembly, port, protocol, and secure attributes. ColdFusion MX: Changed instantiation behavior: this tag, and the CreateObject function, can now instantiate ColdFusion components (CFCs); you can use them within the cfscript tag. 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: "/Eng/CF" ".current/Eng.current/CF" (In earlier releases, the format was ".Eng.CF".) For CORBA object: changed the locale attribute; it specifies the Java configuration that contains the properties file.

The tag syntax depends on the object type. Some types use the type attribute; others do not. See the following sections: cfobject: .NET object cfobject: COM object cfobject: component object cfobject: CORBA object cfobject: Java or EJB object cfobject: web service object Note: On UNIX, this tag does not support COM objects.
