This looks fantastic! At Yale we have a Spring PortletMVC weather portlet that uses JAXB to unmarshall the Yahoo weather service feeds, then displays the data in a JSP page. I wanted to use the XML data rather that just display the html in the RSS feed, since it would give us better control over

Hi Dustin, At the moment the source is only in our local repository, but I'd be more than happy to contribute it. It might make sense to reorganize the files to use maven first, which shouldn't take long. - Jen On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Dustin S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jen, Is
