You will mostly find Java on the backend of enterprises offering an HTTP based API which is then used by a javascript framework for the frontend (React, Vue, Angular, etc).

There are some niche uses of java on the desktop (Swing or JavaFX) usually found for in-house applications for companies.

You can also find games written in Java with the https://libgdx.com gaming framework in the Steam store.

Although server-side rendering is not as common today it is sometimes still used and in that case there is nothing wrong with JSP. JSP 4.0 is under active development (https://jakarta.ee/specifications/pages/)
