We (Sahana-Eden) use to do such things with web2py, in connection with a RESTful API.
See for example: http://vita.sahanafoundation.org/eden/pr/person/1 http://vita.sahanafoundation.org/eden/pr/person/1/address It can also speak several XML formats, of course, and JSON; http://vita.sahanafoundation.org/eden/pr/person/1.xml http://vita.sahanafoundation.org/eden/pr/person.json The code behind that looks like: Person Model: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/annotate/head%3A/models/02_pr.py#L2 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/annotate/head%3A/models/04_pr.py#L2 The actual Person controller: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/annotate/head%3A/controllers/pr.py#L101 HTML frontend controller: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/annotate/head%3A/models/01_crud.py#L763 Backend extensions: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/trunk/annotate/head%3A/modules/s3xrc.py#L2 Regards, Dominic On 3 Sep, 13:38, "portly.shor...@googlemail.com" <portly.shor...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Is it possible to edit a parent + child model as a single form and > automatically create both the parent and respective children in the > database. > > As an example, say I have a Person model and the person can have > multiple Addresses.
