</head>
<body>

 <sql:setDataSource driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name"
            var="localSource" 
            user="database_user"  
            password="database_password"/>

 <sql:query dataSource="${localSource}" var="result">
SELECT * from Employees;
</sql:query>
 
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<th>Emp ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td>
