Assuming that you’ve the model and DB part already finished (as per the comments on the question), just create a servlet class and implement the doGet() method accordingly. It’s relatively simple, just retrieve the list of passengers from the DB, store it in request scope and forward to the JSP which should present it. The below example assumes that you’re using EJB/JPA as service/DB layer, but whatever service/DB layer you use, you should ultimately end up getting a List<Passenger> from it anyway.
@WebServlet("/passengers")
public class Passengers extends HttpServlet {
@EJB
private PassengerService service;
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
List<Passenger> passengers = service.list();
request.setAttribute("passengers", passengers);
request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/passengers.jsp").forward(request, response);
}
}
Create a JSP file /WEB-INF/passengers.jsp which uses JSTL <c:forEach> to iterate over it, printing a new HTML <option> everytime:
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
...
<select name="passenger">
<c:forEach items="${passengers}" var="passenger">
<option value="${passenger.id}"><c:out value="${passenger.name}" /></option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
(this example assumes the Passenger entity to have id and name properties)
That should basically be it. Just open the page by invoking the servlet’s URL like so http://example.com/contextpath/passengers.
