You could have a collection/array of fields that needed to be
displayed. You would iterate on each record in the result set. For
each row, you would then iterate thru the collection of field names,
using the field name as a key to the record "bean". I'd do it
something like below, though there may be some syntax errors
(particularly the c:out line, it's from memory). Again, this only
works if your records are key/value pairs (e.g. a Map) that can be
evaluated by the JSTL and EL.
<c:set var="fieldList" value="${myFieldList}"/>
<c:set var="records" value="${myRecordList}"/>
...
<!-- print out record header -->
<tr>
<c:forEach var="field" value="${fieldList}">
<th><c:out value="${field}"/></th>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="record" items="${records}">
<tr>
<c:forEach var="field" items="${fieldList}">
<td><c:out value="${record[field]}"/></td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
...
