Dear Folks

 

How can I get involved or contribute to the uPortal project i.e. coding,
testing, etc? We are planning on deploying uPortal at BU's School of
Management.

 

Best,

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

        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,
                

                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.

                        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.
                        
                        Screenshots of the current Yale portlet are
