CFX Tags page
Before you can use a CFX tag in ColdFusion applications, you must register it. You use the CFX
Tags page to register and manage ColdFusion custom tags built with C++ and Java.

You can build CFX tags in the following two ways:
•
Using C++ as a dynamic link library (DLL) on Windows or as shared objects (.so or .sl

CORBA Connectors page
You use the CORBA Connectors page to register, edit, and delete CORBA connectors. You must
register CORBA connectors before you use them in ColdFusion applications. You must also
restart the server when you finish configuring the CORBA connector.

ColdFusion MX loads object request broker (ORB) libraries dynamically using a connector,
which does not restrict ColdFusion developers to a specific ORB vendor. The connectors depend
on the ORB runtime libraries provided by the vendor. A connector for Borland Visibroker is
embedded within ColdFusion MX. Make sure that the ORB runtime libraries are in
cf_root/runtime/lib (server configuration) or cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib (multiserver
and J2EE configurations).
