Try this server side inline code

<tbody class="<%= recordList.isEmpty()?"":"tbl-content" %>">

You can write JSTL code directly in script tag.

 <script>    
<c:if test="${empty recordList}">
//write code here to remove class
</c:if>
</script>

Use Java Expression Language. Its not good practice to use Java Scriptlet. Also you want to be careful not to use JSTL with JavaScript its a mix of concern.

<tbody class=" ${empty recordList ? '' : 'tbl-content' }" >

do it this way:

<table id="gradient-style">
 <tbody
<%
            if (!recordList.isEmpty()) 
          {
        %> 
class="tbl-content"
 <%      
               }
            %>
>
  <tr>
         <%
            for (RecordBean record : recordList) {
           // some code here to get result      
         }              
        %>
        <%
            if (recordList.isEmpty()) 
          {
        %>            
            <tr>
               <td colspan="12" align="center" style="color: red;font-family: verdana"> 
                  <h3>No Search records </h3>
              </td>
           </tr>
            <%      
               }
            %>
       </tbody>
   </table>
