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 the presentation, as well as the ability to display more data. We've been pretty happy with that approach so far, but Yahoo doesn't provide a good way to get locations for international locations, and I know AccuWeather has access to even more data. I think it would be pretty simple to use a similar approach to display the data from the AccuWeather service if we wanted.
