Use the XML JSTL tags:
Disclaimer: I haven't used the XML tags in a while, so there may be a few mistakes in there.

To get only the first student, use <x:set> instead of <x:forEach>.

as the provided xml is a user defined you have to use any parser (example: SAX,DOM parser) to read the data in the xml elements and place these elements in an object. you can easily retrieve the data from the object use the needed data in your jsp.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
