- "cfobject: component object" on page 567
- "cfobject: CORBA object" on page 568

History 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:

- "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 configuration that contains the properties file.
