Hi, I’m trying to implement Bloomreach cms to my project. As most of my teammates are not aware of ftl. Is there any way to create/implement templates using HTML, JS and CSS?

Thanks.

You can use JSP’s if they are more comfortable with that. This has disadvantages, jsp’s cannot be changed runtime, that will require a new deploy. Also, jsp allows the use of java code on the templates, which is not desirable.

Other templating languages can be used. See:
