Your first question has been answered nicely already.
As for the second I would suggest for you to have a TableListBean where
you would put two TableBean instances one representing Table 1 and the
other representing Table 2. Then in JSP you will use the TableBean
representing Table 1 twice and the other once.
The TableList might be implemented by using names to store TableBean or
indexes.
