I was wondering if it is possible to use Angular(2+) as the frontend, and use specifically Java EE Servlets as the Backend? If so, can the project be stored as a WAR file?
Thank you in advance.

Yes. You can put any front-end library in front of any backend web application. Some just harder to integrate than others – OneCricketeer Feb 11 '18 at 03:23

1Front end is 100% abstracted from the server. You can use anything with anything – Sterling Archer Feb 11 '18 at 03:39

Yes it's possible wiht JEE servlets with angular2+ as a front end.
You can create the angular project using angular cli. Go through the following link,
[Connecting your Angular 2 App to your Java EE Backend][1]
For creating angular project you can
From the Eclipse menu, choose File>New>Dynamic Web Project; or right click in Project/Package Explorer and choose New>Dynamic Web Project.
Initialize using angular cli
Right-click the newly created project and select Show in>Terminal. and type ng init , after that you can run npm start and see running your application.
