yes. In controller
def index():
form=SQLFORM(db.table)
return dict(form=form)
and in view
{{=form.custom.begin}}
<div>{{=form.custom.widget.somefield1}}</div>
<div>{{=form.custom.widget.somefield2}}</div>
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}

Anything defined or imported in model files files is visible in views.
You can also import modules explicitly in views {{import ....}}

yes. Given any function f you can cache it in views {{=cache.ram
("cache_key",f,5000)}}

You can access legacy databases if tables have a unique ID called it.
Currently you cannot override table and field names, you must use
custom views. This will be possible in the new DAL coming out soon. It
is almost done.

This is normally done by
production=True
if production: db=SQLDB(".. produciton db uri ...")
else: db=SQLDB(".. development db uri ...")
web2py will treat migrations separately automatically.

Since 1.64.2 it works with Jython out of the box (support sqlite and
postgresql only).
I am building a .war file. Let me know if you want to help testing the
war file.
Mind that Jython is considerably slower than CPython.
