On a very first access to a website, is it possible to know if browser cookies are activated thanks to the GET request?
Is it possible particularly in a J2EE context? On the server side (no ajax/js solution)

Short answer: No.
The HTTP request does simply not carry that kind of information. It’s only implicitly testable by trying to send one to the client and see if it uses it or not. There are probably also various javascript options, but you explicitly did not want one of those.
