system.out (looks good)------------

boardList size: 1
The board id fetched was 3

controller;--------------

List<Boards> boardList = new ArrayList<Boards>((List)result.getObject());
         model.put("boards",boardList);
         System.out.println("boardList size: "+boardList.size());
         for(Boards b: boardList){
             System.out.println("The board id fetched was "+b.getId());
         }

jsp: -------------

<c:forEach var="board" items="${board}">
        <c:out value="board.title" />
    </c:forEach>
