Greetings, Has anyone successfully used web2py to develop an app that does not use a database backend, but instead operates on a system using xmlrpc calls?
Our current approach was to simply ignore web2py's models completely, putting all the functionality in the controllers and views. The problem with this approach is you begin to run into massive duplication of information that would usually be stored in models. I am interested specifically in two things: - encapsulate schema information to (among other things) provide proper data validation - ease of form generation Implementing a new fake database backend seems to be overkill here because we only need such a small subset of functionality offered by the DAL. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thank you, Matt
