[Zope3-Users] formlib with no zodb

[Kapil Thangavelu]

you don't need anything special.. if you have orm mapped objects just  
write formlib forms for them, with a custom traversal to retrieve. if your  
doing sql by hand, then just write adapters for the form context that  
update the relevant rdb data.

as an example, alchemist constructs formlib forms that work against  
objects mapped from a relational database with no zodb footprint. its all  
z3 tech, but its targeting deployment for plone/z2.
