You can put your back-end code wherever you want. You can have it on a 
different machine with it own container, or in a war on the engine machine. 
Doesn't matter that much. The UI plugins are basically inside an iframe and 
the URL used in the iframe is defined by the plugin descriptor. So you really 
can point it to wherever you want/need.
