Using JWT token to create spring session

Question

I have a web application like this:

An angular frontend for client and a spring MVC backend for admin panel.

1. A angular web application requests a JWT token from tomcat/spring MVC.
2. The angular application the uses the token as Bearer for HTTP requests.

But now a requirement has come up:

1. The user will use that token to log in into the spring web application.
2. The server will verify that token to create a session in the backend.

My question is, is the setup feasible, are there any security risks associated with using a JWT token to authenticate in spring mvc backend?
