All web based projects of a reasonable size require a good MVC framework.
Without a framework you'll have to write a lot more code and the app is
likely to be unmaintainable. So, I encourage you to use Struts (or any
framework you like better).
By the way, any "database" that doesn't support foreign keys or views
isn't worth using :-).
