Is it possible to create a form with views that are web-enabled, and views that use features not web-enabled?

User Roles are also not supported in Web Forms.

I have a answer to the Problem # 2. We can use cascading pick lists in infopath web forms also.

For that you have to code the filter on the state field (e.g.) selection event.

What you can do is:

1) Add one xml document containing two blank nodes like

</Cities>

These two nodes are important to make the "City" nodes as repeating field.

2) Create a new data connection of "retrieve" type to the newly created xml file.

3) On the form design, right click on "City" drop down box and click "Properties".

4) On "look up entries....." select name of newly created data source and select "City" node from the list of fields displayed in "Entries" field.

5) Now right the code to "State" field changed event to insert "Cities" related to that state in the newly created Xml file.

Following is the code sample which will depending on the State selected in State drop down from "StateCityXml" file, will populate Cities related to selected State in "City" drop down.

public void State_Changed(object sender, XmlEventArgs e)

{

XPathNavigator newNav;

XPathNavigator xNav = DataSources["statecityxml"].CreateNavigator();

XPathNavigator countryNav = xNav.SelectSingleNode("/StateCityXml/State/City", this.NamespaceManager);

XPathNavigator districtNav = DataSources["cities"].CreateNavigator();

XPathNavigator first = districtNav.SelectSingleNode("/Cities/City[1]", this.NamespaceManager);

if (first != null)

{

XPathNavigator last = districtNav.SelectSingleNode("/Cities/City[position()=last()]", this.NamespaceManager);

first.DeleteRange(last);

}

{

string abc = countryNav.GetAttribute("Name", "");

if (countryNav.GetAttribute("Name", "") == myNav.SelectSingleNode("/my:webInfoPath/my:State", this.NamespaceManager).Value)

{

if (countryNav.HasChildren)

{

XPathNodeIterator nodes = countryNav.Select("/StateCityXml/State/City [@Name='" + abc + "']/City", this.NamespaceManager);

newNav = districtNav.SelectSingleNode("/Cities", this.NamespaceManager);

while (nodes.MoveNext())

{

newNav.AppendChild("<City Name=\"" + nodes.Current.GetAttribute("Name", "") + "\"></City>");

}

} while (countryNav.MoveToNext());

}

Important: To execute the action on "State" field change event, on "State" field drop down box properties, go to "Browser Forms" tab, and set the "Postback settings" to "Always".
