My doubt is that if I can work javaEE without using JSP, because what I have read JSP is like a template where you specify html tags along with java code, I understand that we can work without JSP, because we directly we can implement the servlets in a java class, I understand that JSP appeared to make life easier for the programmer, but, my question is, when a servlet is going to give an answer, does JSP need to visualize the answer? or not? since JSP itself is an html document but with java code

java jsp servlets

A JSP is really just a servlet: The JSP code is first transformed to a java class that extends from HttpServlet and then compiled like any other normal class. Therefore, when a servlet (the controller) delegates the generation of the HTML (or any other output) to a JSP, it does no more than delegate to another servlet.

So you can not use that technology and create the responses of your application using anything else, from a simple JSON serializer to templates such as Thymeleaf or Freemarker, PDF document generators ... or simply, from the same servlet, generate a String or an array of bytes and send it in the response.
