Hi all ,
Greetings, I'm building an asp.net application that should recommend items
to users. I decided to use Mahout for its popularity but I now want to expose
Mahout recommender as a web service so I can use it in my web app or any mobile
apps that could be developed later.
In Mahout Documentation
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Recommender+Documentation)
, I found this
A Mahout recommender can also be run as an external server, which may be the
only option for non-Java applications. It can be exposed as a web application
via org.apach.mahout.cf.taste.web.RecommenderServlet, and your application can
then access recommendations via simple HTTP requests and response. See above,
and see the javadoc for details.
What should I do in order to be able to expose mahout as a web service ?
Unfortunately , I don't have much knowledge in this field or in Java servlet
but I writes Java SE. Can you help ?
Note : I don't want to use Hadoop as I'm not going to deal with millions of
users and also this is my graduation project not a commercial product. Thanks
in advance,
Regards ,
