By "them", are you talking about the servlets that receive and process the
requests? If so, I would not change them -- my basic rule is "if it's visible, use
JSP pages; if it's not visible, use servlets." You can technically use an
"invisible" JSP page to play this role, but I cannot think of a compelling reason
to do so.
One thing you might also consider is using RequestDispatcher.forward() insted of
response.sendRedirect() to switch from the servlet to the JSP page to display the
results. This saves an extra round trip to the browser, so it will run faster.
