[opencms-dev] About OpenCms itself

[Ralf B]

Hello Javier,

I am not perfectly sure if I understand your entire question. Yes, you can
use JSP with Tomcat alone. OpenCMS however provides you with a database and an
easy abstract way of using it. You do not need to touch it and write SQL
code. You can use JSP templates and you can use a set of administration tools to
look at at it without programmnig. You can use Lucene ot get a search engine
for free (well integrated). These are just a few reasons for OpenCMS. You
have to investigate if you need all this...
