   - If a view is not found, web2py tries to use a generic view. By 
   default, generic views are disabled, although the 'welcome' app includes 
   a line in /models/db.py to enable them on localhost only. They can be 
   enabled per extension type and per action (usingresponse.generic_patterns). 
   In general, generic views are a development tool and typically should 
   not be used in production. If you want some actions to use a generic view, 
   list those actions in response.generic_patterns (discussed in more 
   detail in the chapter on Services).
