It's quite easy to use java/jsp as alternative/extension to php: As I also prefer programming in java over php, so the server side logic of my additional fusion widgets is implemented as java servlets/jsp. Coding with eclipse and debugging of servlets with the eclipse-tomcat plugin is just very comfortable.
This environment allowed me to implement a PDF-Plot widget with map-rotation capabilities quite fluently. Compared to that, development of client side javascript-fusion code is really a pain in...
