我的网站建立在Java Server Pages（JSP）上 - 我可以使用Joomla吗？

Question

My website is built on JSP and Java Servlets. Html, Javascript and CSS (limited) is contained within my JSP pages as well.

I recently started looking into Joomla. I have quite a bit to learn yet...

I understand that Joomla is based on PHP.

[ I don't know anything about PHP, but I've read that knowing PHP is not really necessary in order to use Joomla. Do you agree? ]

I have some questions about Joomla -

1) The code that Joomla generates, is that in PHP? or Html? Perhaps a combination of both?

2) How, if possible, can I integrate my JSP code into what Joomla generates?
   -- or do I need to integrate the Joomla code into my JSP code?

I have a fully functional website designed in JSP and Java - but after seeing the layout/design that can be accomplished with a CMS, such as Joomla, I want to know how I can 'convert' my site, or 'integrate' it, and still keep it running under JSP and Java.

Answer 1

Joomla is written in PHP. It generates the HTML files which are output to the browser. As far as I know, you'll need PHP to use Joomla unless there's been some sort of JSP port for it (which is highly unlikely).

Simply, Joomla IS PHP, and it generates HTML code which the browser reads.

Also, a CMS has nothing to do with layout/design, a CMS is simply that, a Content Management System. They are usually designed to be used as the actual website itself, the user just picks a theme and inserts content.
