"i need a few outer jojns, but i have been told this is not possible, i.e. having numerous outer joins in the where clause.."

Totally false. You can do anything you want in a view. If you can write it in straight SQL, you can put it in a view.

As to how well it will perform, is another question - but the question does not pertain explicitely fo views, but to the sql and the tables it is accessing.
