I've mavenized our code and dropped it into https://www.ja-sig.org/svn/sandbox/WeatherPortlet/branches/yale-yahoo. It's not very well commented, but it should build and run under both up2.6 and 3, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions that come up. If any of it proves useful as an example or otherwise, that's great, and if not, that's OK too. I've enjoyed using jaxb and I think I'd encourage it's use with AccuWeather.
I did strip out the part that generates the current conditions tooltip, since other people may be using a different version of dojo in the portal, or might not be using dojo at all. - Jen On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Dustin S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jen, > > Is the the source of your portlet available anywhere?
