Thanks a lot Jen, I'll take a look at it this weekend!

It's not very well commented, but it should build and run
Eric mentioned in IRC today that he's had a lot of luck with the xstream
libraries - we could also try that.

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
Hello Jim H,
I don't see the logo or back-link as a deal breaker either, but what
size is the logo? Also, what do they consider commercial users? I know
we consider Higher Ed as non-commercial, but do they?
thanks,

I don't think this portlet should ship WITH uPortal. I'd hate to see
the main uPortal distribution encumbered with a license we somehow have
to make sure commercial entities see and agree to, and contact
accuweather, before they can ever start uPortal. Now as a separate
download that people
Brad,
You have some good questions. I will write another email to AccuWeather and
ask if they can explain their definition of commercial/non-commercial. They
did provide me with a link to logo's to use (
http://www.accuweather.com/download-adc-logos.asp), however, I was not told
of any size
Jen,
Is the the source of your portlet available anywhere? Would you mind
committing it to a branch in /sandbox/WeatherPortlet ...? I'm sure this
could be useful for development.
Thanks,
Dustin.

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.

I have recently been in contact with AccuWeather.com to explore the
possibility of using their services for weather data.
AccuWeather.com's services are used in one of the most popular Firefox
add-ons: ForecastFox. If you are unfamiliar with AccuWeather you can visit
http://www.accuweather.com/
A friend of mine recently began using their data for a google gadget and had
great things to say about AccuWeather. He said the developers were very
helpful and responsive. It sounds like they really do have a lot of data;
he was using their service to get local pollen counts.
How is the API
I don't see a logo or link back as a problem. Since our primary focus is higher
education, I don't see the fact that commercial users need to contact
AccuWeather as a problem. From the sounds of it, this seems like a good option.
It would be nice to see if this portlet could be implemented in
I think this looks like a viable weather data source. The fact that we'd
have our own feed url is a plus and we can make a point to include a
little extra info in the default deploy of the portlet on how to contact
them if you have heavy usage.

Jen,
The data provided is far superior to any other service that I've seen, I was
really impressed when I first saw it. The API for getting locations is *also
really* nice IMO. You can see an example here:
