There are webframeworks in Ruby other than [[Rails]]. One called "[[Wee]]" is a Seaside2-like approach, which has "real" components and much more.

"Wee":http://www.ntecs.de/viewcvs/viewcvs/*checkout*/Wee/trunk/doc/rdoc/index.html

There's also a port of Mewa (Meta-level Architecture for Generic Web-Application construction: http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/files/mewa.pdf) available in Ruby, which runs on-top of Wee. This probably compares to FunFormKit or FormEncode with the exception that it's all about meta-data and not tied to web-formular at all. A custom formular-editor (with all kinds of relations; single, multiple, single_relationship, multiple_relationship) is below 200 lines of *very* readable code.

If you don't like ActiveRecords (the database mapper of RubyOnRails) than just use Og (ObjectGraph) which is very similar to SQLObject (create SQL tables on the fly). It's part of [[Nitro]], another "major" web-framework for Ruby:
