Note:

As of ColdFusion (2021 release), CORBA has been removed. You can no longer use CORBA-related features, functions, and tags.

This page lists features of Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release) that are deprecated, deprecated and unsupported, and removed.

  • Deprecated: Adobe does not recommend using a deprecated feature set as a part of any new application development. It also means that Adobe will not be making any additions/enhancements/modifications to the existing functionality. However, Adobe will still provide fixes to bugs, including security fixes, that prevent the functionality of the feature described in the documentation.
  • Deprecated and unsupported: A deprecated and unsupported feature will also be not eligible for any kind of bug fixes. However, if there is a security vulnerability/issue in such a feature, Adobe will be addressing it.
  • Removed: The feature will not be available in ColdFusion and can no longer be used.
  • Retired: Retired features will not be available as a part of the default installation. These features will have to be enabled explicitly by users by modifying/copying certain files. Such features are also deprecated and unsupported.

Portlets

From ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 3 onwards, you will not be able to create portlets. We have deprecated portlets.

However, you can still use portlets in WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and higher.

JBoss server does not support portlets.

As a workaround, you can download the following:

  1. Portlets archive from this location. (Checksum: 93273a7b4ab8c650e5fa9cece518e099)
  2. Extract the downloaded zip to <CF_HOME>/cfusion/.
  3. Add the following in web.xml located in <CF_HOME>/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF.
<!-- WSRP portlet Filter for wsrp producer -->
               <!-- begin WSRP -->
    <filter>
               <filter-name>WSRPFilter</filter-name>
               <filter-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapFilter</filter-class>
               <init-param>
                   <param-name>filter.class</param-name>
                   <param-value>coldfusion.portlet.wsrp.ProviderImpl</param-value>
               </init-param>
    </filter>
    <!-- end WSRP -->
               
               <!-- WSRP portlet Filter for wsrp producer -->
   <!-- begin WSRP -->
   <filter-mapping>
               <filter-name>WSRPFilter</filter-name>
               <servlet-name>WSRPProducer</servlet-name>
   </filter-mapping>    
   <!-- end WSRP -->
   
   
     <!-- WSRP producer servlet.. -->
               <!-- begin WSRP -->
    <servlet>
               <servlet-name>WSRPProducer</servlet-name>
               <servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class>
               <init-param>
                              <param-name>servlet.class</param-name>
                              <param-value>org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet</param-value>
               </init-param>
               <load-on-startup>101</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <!-- end WSRP -->
               
                  <!--  WSRP producer servlet mapping.. -->
   <!-- begin WSRP -->
   <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>WSRPProducer</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/WSRPProducer/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
   <!-- end WSRP -->

YUI and Spry

We have deprecated YUI and Spry libraries in ColdFusion 2016 (Update 3) and removed the following JavaScript libraries:

  • <cfusion_webroot>\cf_scripts\scripts\ajax\yui
  • <cfusion_webroot>\cf_scripts\scripts\ajax\spry
  • <cfusion_webroot>\cf_scripts\scripts\ajax\resources\yui

As a result, the following tags that use the YUI and Spry features would be impacted:

  • cfmenu
  • cftree
  • cftooptip
  • cfcalendar
  • cfinput (autosuggest attribute)
  • cfinput (sourcefortooltip attribute)
  • cfsprydataset

As a workaround, you can manually download the removed files from the following locations and copy them in ColdFusion's webroot, at the directories listed above.

  • YUI (Checksum: 827e0f8395d176ac28f46ed5e78004fd)
  • Spry (Checksum: 750c275c20b291f00c1ba92c855a09d7)
