Facebook Demo Recommender based on Java EE 6 and Mahout

This project is a demo of how you can use mahout to build a cool musician recommender for your friends. It includse everything what you need including a modern REST and a conservative SOAP interface. In the end a web application archive will be generated.

Here is how you get this working

The embedded glassfish jar will be about 67mb. So be a little bit patient until it is loaded.

git clone git://github.com/ManuelB/facebook-recommender-demo.git
cd facebook-recommender-demo
mvn install
mvn embedded-glassfish:run 

Open the following URL in your browser: http://localhost:8010/myapp/FacebookRecommender/person/Manuel%20Blechschmidt

You will need the following requirements to get the application working:

• git (http://git-scm.com/download)
• Java 6 JDK (http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
• Maven 3 (http://maven.apache.org/)
• Java EE 6 compatible Container e.g. Glassfish 3 (http://glassfish.java.net/, Glassfish is bundled)
