Add a column active to the DB which you set with a boolean or bit value, e.g. 0 or 1. If the user has registered and activated the account, set it to 1. If you want to lock the user, set it to 0.
On every incoming request with a logged-in user, you just check the active column associated with the ID of the logged-in user. If it's 0, then invalidate the session and redirect to the activation form.
Note: you normally use a servlet or, in this case better, a filter for this, not JSP/JSTL.
