Exposing Mahout recommender as a web service

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 ? I don't have any 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.
