How to create Java object in CFSCRIPT?

I am using ColdFusion 9.1.0

I am trying to create a java object using CFSCRIPT and I just can't get the right combination of stuff to work.

This works perfectly:

<cfobject action="create" type="Java" class="CyberSource" name="auth">
<cfset VARIABLES.ResponseString = auth.runTransaction(LOCAL.PropsFile,LOCAL.MyXML)>

When I do this, I get an error:

LOCAL.MyObject = createObject("java", "CyberSource.auth");
LOCAL.ResponseString = auth.runTransaction(LOCAL.PropsFile,LOCAL.MyXML);

This is the error I get:

Object Instantiation Exception.
Class not found: CyberSource.auth

The object is an external piece of code available to ColdFusion. I don't see what the problem is. Do you?

The classname is CyberSource and the variable you are trying to assign the instance to is "auth" in your tagbased approach. You mixed it up with "MyObject".

LOCAL.auth = createObject("java", "CyberSource");
LOCAL.ResponseString = LOCAL.auth.runTransaction(LOCAL.PropsFile,LOCAL.MyXML);

This should work.

One thing to be aware of.

The java class names are case sensitive!

// Fail
myFile = createObject( 'java', 'java.io.file' );

// Win!
myFile = createObject( 'java', 'java.io.File' );

And to call their constructor, use .init() eg.

myFile = createObject( 'java', 'java.io.File' ).init( '/Users/Mike/Dev/Test' );
