Spring JDBC Template without DAO?

I am rather new to writing applications that interact with databases, and I’m curious about a project I’m working on. I have to write a very simple web app which is going to be displaying metric data based off a handful of various queries (probably not over 15) to various database tables. Based on my own research, Spring JDBC Template seemed like a good technology to go with based on the rather simplistic nature of my project. Every example I see for using it though seems to involve the use of the DAO pattern. I was under the assumption that usage of the DAO pattern wouldn’t be necessary for what I’m doing, but it seems extremely pervasive in the examples, so perhaps I’m mistaken.
