If the code you posted is goodslist.jsp, then I don't see any code which produces any output resembling "items". All I see is code which creates an empty Vector and then (uselessly) sorts it.
On the other hand if that isn't goodslist.jsp, then
you should look at goodslist.jsp to see why it isn't performing right.
It's also possible that something is throwing an exception. You might want to look at the server logs to see about that.
