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 :-). David > > I'm going to design a web application.
