I won't argue against redoing the design ;-), but prototyping with JSP can be easier and quicker than servlets/MVC/Java classes. If you still want to pursue the JSP/JSTL route, I'd first try to simplify the page so you're sure the SQL piece is working. Then, gradually add stuff in so you can tell exactly which part of the page is causing the problem.
