Is it possible in some way to know the MacAddress of the Client?

If "Client" means remote end, then the answer is most likely a no - and
that is not restricted to only JAVA, its a networking thing.
MAC Adresses are sort of a local delivery address. They don't survive the
first hop (router) on a network. They are only directly visible and valid
in a LAN.
Iff your Client is a piece of software that is guaranteed to be in the same
segment as the server-code, then there are some tricks to get the MAC
address, but they all involve either JNI or runtime.execute()'ing an
external program.
