Of course, the requirements of your particular application are the main gating factor for any choice and we don't know what the applicaiton is. But generally speaking, GWT is great for single-page applications; applications that run in the browser but act like desktop applications. Rather than loading page after page and keeping data in a database-backed session, your applicaition runs on a single page and keeps most of it's model in the client until it needs to persist it. The results is a more fluid user experience.
JSP/Struts are great for creating traditional web pages with dynamic content. The user's session data (model) is kept in the server's database and when a page is requested, that model is used to render user-specific content into the page before it is returned to the browser. The advantage of this model is the central control the server provides. If your application is heavily content oriented, then serving it as a set of pages makes sense. If you are running a lot of business logic (beyond things like form validation) on the client, then you will want to use a language and tooling for that logic that supports good software engineering practices. The two things ares not mutually exclusive; you may use JSPs to write that basic DOM and a JSON model into the page and use logic in GWT to run the page. However, I would look to make a binary choice at first; I am delivering pages or am I writing a application; If you are delivering pages, traditional web technology works well. If you are writing an application, something like GWT will help you create a modern, browser delivered application.
