You can use a List to store the data. Store that List as an attribute, then use <c:foreach> to loop through that List.

Assume you have a class to represent your data:

class Person
{
    ...

    public String getName() { ... }
    public int getAge() { ... }
}

Inside your servlet, you create a List (ArrayList, LinkedList, ...). You fill it with instances of Person. You set that as an attribute; keep the scope as short as possible, so preferably request scope. For example:

request.setAttribute("results", list);

You now forward the request to your JSP. There all you need it a forEach tag:

<table>
 <c:forEach var="person" items="${results}">
 <tr><td>${person.name}</td><td>${person.age}</td></tr>
 </c:forEach>
 </table>

The forEach tag will take the List for attribute results, loop over it, and assign each element to loop variable person. The EL inside the loop will call person.getName() and person.getAge() for each element. As you can see, inside the EL you remove the get and turn the first letter after that into lowercase.
