To start you off. you could use scriptlets in a jsp page to control the amount of records displayed but i would recomend using JSTL with a backing bean.
Store the list of your records in the backing bean and use the JSTL tag <c:foreach> to loop through them the foreach has got useful attributes for pagination namely the begin and end attributes. In your backing bean you will just need to keep count of where in your list you are. Simple Example:
<c:forEach var="record" items="${bean.results}" begin="${bean.startIndex}" end="${bean.endIndex}">
${record}
</c:forEach>
you will need a next control that will reload the page eg:
<a href="results.jsp?next=true" title="scroll to next page">
<img src="/imgs/next.gif"></a>
You will need something like this at the top of your results.jsp
<c:if test="${!empty param.next}">
<% bean.next(); %>
</c:if>
In your backing bean you will need to keep track of what page you are on and also make a check to see if you need to increase or decrease the start or end indexs in your results list.
If you wanna learn how you need to implement that from scratch use the link below
