Yes. I think the combination Webactions/CLSQL/SLIME is an extremely
productive environment.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a component. If you mean a
websession variable, you can pass any object in a websession variable.

(setf (websession-variable websession "somevar") 
      (make-instance 'some-clsql-view-class))


Then retrieve it using:

(websession-variable websession "somevar")

You can modify the slots of the instance, typically by data from a
form or similar and the use update-records-from-instance to write it
back to your database.
