Probably should have offered some solutions other than just harsh criticism...
Rocket offers a very limited collection of connectors to Unidata. Certainly there's Redback (aka "WebDE") but you can do much of what Redback can do more effectively and with less overhead and expense using Uniobjects for Java. There's the grand-daddy UniObjects connector, but of course that only works on Windows, as is the case with the UniObjects dot-net.
If you have Apache running on the same box as your Unidata you can do some pretty cool stuff with little more than shell scripts. But of course that opens up security considerations/concerns.
It's all possible, but it depends on your existing topology and language preference. I don't know that Rocket will ever offer PHP or Python connectors, though I do know that many have asked for them. So until they do something about that, we have no choice but to roll our own.
