Yes, using one of the Frameworks out there would be far better a choice, no point in reinventing the wheel as long as you know what goes behind the scenes. I have worked with JSF and found it to be quite unsatisfactory. The best bet here would be to try out some of the widely used frameworks out there, implement a prototype and get a feel of how things work out to be. Struts2, Spring MVC, Wicket etc. come to mind. Here is an interesting read.

If you don't use any framework, you end up creating one in the process of developing a complex application like forum. It all depends on what you are up to; if this is a learning activity either implement everything from scratch [if you have enough time!] or use a framework and understand its internals. If you are into serious business, using a framework is advisable.

As for the open source forum softwares out there, here is a good reference for you.
