Lucee Function Reference

Creates and returns a reference to objects of various types including Java classes, components, web services, and COM objects.
## Type: "java"
Creates a Java object instance. As of Lucee 6.2, this supports Maven dependency management and enhanced Java settings.
```
CreateObject('java', className [, classpath|bundleName|javasettings] [, delimiter|bundleVersion])
```
You can provide Java libraries in four ways:
- Using classpath: Specify directories or JAR files
- Using OSGi bundles: Provide a bundle name and version
- Using loadPaths: Define non-OSGi JAR paths directly
- Using Maven: Define Maven artifacts via a javasettings structure
### Using Classpath
```cfml
// Using directories and JAR files with a classpath
createObject("java", "com.example.MyClass", "/path/to/libs/,/path/to/specific.jar");
// Using an array of paths
createObject("java", "com.example.MyClass", ["/path/to/libs/", "/path/to/specific.jar"]);
```
### OSGi Bundle Support
```cfml
createObject(
type: "java",
class: "org.lucee.mockup.osgi.Test",
bundleName: "lucee.mockup",
bundleVersion: "1.0.0.0"
);
```
### Maven Support (Lucee 6.2+)
```cfml
createObject(
type: "java",
class: "org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils",
javasettings: {
"maven": [
{
"groupId": "commons-beanutils",
"artifactId": "commons-beanutils",
"version": "1.9.4"
}
]
}
);
```
### Java Settings Structure
The javasettings structure can contain:
- maven: Array of Maven dependency structures (groupId, artifactId, version)
- loadPaths: Array of paths to non-OSGi JAR files or directories
- bundlePaths: Array of paths to OSGi bundle files or directories
- reloadOnChange: Boolean indicating whether to reload updated classes dynamically (default: false)
- watchInterval: Number of seconds between checks for changes (default: 60)
- watchExtensions: Array of file extensions to monitor (default: ["jar", "class"])
## Type: "component"
Creates a CFC instance without calling the init method.
```
CreateObject('component', componentName)
```
## Type: "webservice"
Creates a web service client from a WSDL.
```
CreateObject('webservice', urlToWsdl [, portName] [, options])
```
## Type: "com"
Creates a COM object (Windows only).
```
CreateObject('com', class, context, serverName)
```

createobject(string type,[object classname,[object context,[object delimiterOrVersion]]]):any
