Yes, you will need both views in order to work with the application. You can individually test each view from the dashboard but to launch an app that would be the only way that it would be accepted into the gallery. You are correct in your other assumption, you can use Java or any other language you'd like, PHP is not required.

We’ve created My Spam Gone (patent pending) software that targets Yahoo! Mail users. We’d now like to create a Yahoo! App that users can put on their home page.
The app will have a small view and a “next” button. The next button takes the user to the Yahoo! Mail login browser based authentication where the login is completed and authorization data is sent back to our server. The next button goes to the following:

Our product’s biggest success is in rescuing spam messages from the user’s spam folder. To continue with My Spam Gone, the user will be asked to either allow us to attach advertisements to their outgoing email or pay for our services.
The problem I am having now is when I click on the live app I get the message "This application is having problems. Please try again later." I'm testing using the insert small view example in the documentation. I copied the source code to a file, placed it on the server and linked to it, and placed the small view code in the project details.
I'm trying to figure out what step I'm missing or what am I doing wrong.
