I believe it still works that way, but the issue is more that the packaged WAR doesn't have a default Recommender, so people are required to unjar it and then change the web.xml and then repackage it.

Yes you have to say what class to use as the Recommender. This was
done by passing a system property, under Ant, with -D. I am not sure
the part that then builds the right web.xml from that got ported. It
is not a big deal. i can tell people to edit web.xml instead locally.

I again tried to run the taste-webapp as some kind of sanity check. If I

the one from the distribution it fails and tells me to set the Recommender

would
be better to just provide a default configuration?


I believe you would just have to edit the web.xml and make sure the
Recommender implementation is in the JAR.
