The Java bridge still exists (I think just the name is not ION
anymore). There is also a COM bridge. But I also never used them
myself, except for just running an application that used the Java
bridge, so I do not know how to do it.

There used to be something like ION Java and ION Script. Here are some
examples:

http://ion.researchsystems.com/IONScript/wavelet/
http://coco.atmos.washington.edu/cgi-bin/ion-p?page=index.io n
http://helix.nih.gov/Applications/IONJava/

I never used it myself and I think it's not included in IDL anymore. I
don't know why, maybe they don't want people to use IDL.

Here is an application that doesn't use ION

I guess the main message is: IDL is not going to help you making web
applications, so you have to make your own JAVA/PHP/... front-end as
you suggested. (Not sure whether the IDL-JAVA bridge can help you...)

If you made a runtime version of your application, it would not need a
license to run. It seems that it could be made a console application,
taking arguments from the command line, and if its output is just an
image, it could save it to a file.
