My application has quite a bit of code in my jsps. I understand the disadvantages of this in a team developement enviornment, however in my case the team is me. I have to do it all ... servlets, HTML, documentation, SQL and JSPs. I would like to learn Struts, but I having trouble justifying the learning curve and conversion to Struts.

Please check this thread also. If your application has few pages and time given to you to finish this projects is few weeks and you are a beginner then I wont go with struts . This is just my opinion

Personally speaking, the justification for re-writing the app using struts is that I could then put it on my CV.

Struts for sure will reduce your application maintenance time and provides you an open scalable architecture....and is well documented. You can also sell your architecture, resualble tags/class to other teams in your group.

In my opinion ....
Struts is implementation of MVC model. it's helpfully in rapid developement web application, easy to maintenance but it's not best framework because struts not cover all application such as business application flow (not have in struts).
Struts implement only Web Controller....

From project management aspect, if you have already started using a framework, and the system is ready to deploy, I think it is not a suitable time to mirgate with new technologies.

It is better to adopt Struts when you are going for Phase 2, and redevelop the Web-tier modules.
