Non-DB based data source concept

Non-DB based data source concept

Imported From: http://groups.google.com/group/in-portal-dev/browse_thread/thread/61c86fe967e93b72#

In-Portal currently assumes, that all the data that needs to be displayed
comes from the database. What if it isn't in some cases?

For example I want to make query to external data source using JSON and get
some results from it. Then I want them to be displayed in 5x3 grid using
standard PrintList tag.

Maybe I want to make 1 large query for all the data and paginate myself OR
ask page count from that external data source and query only data I need to
display each of a pages, user visits.
