It is very common for a lot of shared servers to have certain ColdFusion tags and/or functionalities disabled. One of which I have found very common is creating Java Objects. One ColdFusion function that does this is cfdump. While developers should be developing websites locally, there are a lot of times they do not do so especially when the employer likes to see what is happening on a regular basis. Sometimes websites that have already been up for awhile experience some error and it is hard to diagnose because creating Java Objects with the cfdump tag is not currently possible.
What I propose is a new parameter called UseJavaObject that would default to true and when it is true, cfdump would act like it does not. However. when it is set to false, it could avoid using Java objects to dump out variable data.
There is some code here by Russ Michaels (with the original JS Dump being created by Shuns) that could be used here for inspiration:

I am attaching those files to this request for your convenience.
Again, this will help people in debugging with shared server situations where create Java Objects with cfdump is not possible do to security restrictions setup by the hosting company.
