Using a web server with Glassomium

The UI Server only supports the generation of dynamic content via plugins using the Ruby language. If you want to develop with PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails and so forth, simply install and configure a web server (Apache, IIS, etc.) on your machine (or a remote one) and launch your applications by creating redirects. For example, if you want to launch a PHP application that is located on http://yourserver/myapp, simply create a new application in the /server/WebRoot/apps/myapp and place the following code in your index.html: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.addEventListener('GLALoad', onGLALoad, false);
function onGLALoad(event) {
	location.href='http://yourserver/myapp';
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Note that we capture the GLALoad event to switch the location. Using a traditional body onload might work, but racing conditions could happen. It's just safer to do it this way.
