Anandkumar..... the big diference is..... Struts is a Web application framework. So it have lots of tools and coding styles that helps you when you want to build a web application. Jetspeed instead, it a Portal Implementation. These means.... (no only a development framework) Jetspeed implements some Portal features as.... User personalization, Security, sindication, and let you program every piece of your web page (Portlets) without thinking where it is placed. So you have MVC not for the entire web page but for every portlet.
Jetspeed is build on top of Turbine.... which is a web app framework the same as Struts... To understand these diference.... you should read about Enterprise Portals.... and Web Development frameworks..... Enterprise Portals: Jetspeed, IBM, Sybase Ep, Oracle, Plumtree, BEA, LifeRay... Framworks: Struts, turbine, Tapestry in Jakarta, and you'll find many more in sourceforge...
