Static to Editable template Migration

[MeghaGo]

I am migrating from static templates to editable templates using AEM Modernization Tool but  my static template code is in JSP. So, do I need to create a new code base for editable templates or is it compatible to JSP as well? Please guide me, how I can proceed on this.

Hi @MegH 

Yes, the best practice would be to migrate from JSP based static templates to editable templates based on HTL.

• The WCM Core Page component (latest version) should be your new base component. 
  • You can refer the aem-guides-wknd project for more details and structure - https://github.com/adobe/aem-guides-wknd/blob/main/ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/wknd/compo...
• Also highly recommend going through this skill exchange video for insights into things to be considered for migration - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/events/the-skill-exchange-recordings/aem/aug2023/develope...

Hope this is helpful. Please reach out to the community for any additional questions.

Thanks

But why will you need to keep jsp. The recommendation is to move to HTL
