a. In the Windows Command prompt, make the parent directory of the directory that
contains your class files your working directory. In this example, make c:\src your
working director by entering cd .. in the Command prompt from step 4.
b. Enter the following command:
jar -uvf cf_root\lib\msapps.jar directoryName\*.class
Where cf_root is the directory where ColdFusion is installed and directoryName is the
name of the directory that contains the class files. For the OutlookXP example, enter
the following line:
jar -uvf C:\CFusion\lib\msapps.jar outlookXP\*.class
7. Update the cf_root /lib/neo-comobjmap.xml file by appending your object definition to the
list. The object definition consists of the following lines:
PackageName.mainClass
Use the following values in these lines:
ProgID The COM object’s ProgID, as displayed in the OLE/COM object viewer.
PackageName The package name you specified in step 3c.
mainClass The main class of the COM object. The main class contains the methods
you invoke. For many Microsoft applications, this class is Application. In general, the
largest class file created in step 4. is the main class.
For example, to add outlookXP to neo-comobjmap.xml, add the lines in bold text above
the
end tag:
coldfusion.runtime.com.com2java.access2k.Application
outlookXP.Application
In this example, outlook.application.10 is the ProgID of the Outlook COM object,
outlookXP is the package name you specified in step 3c, and Application is the COM
object’s main class.
8. Restart the ColdFusion server: Open the Services control panel, select ColdFusion
