Am using google plus and facebook javascript sign in feature for my website. I am able to get the user details and the access token in javascript. I want to validate the user in server side(java) also. Is it possible to do the same with the help of access token which i can send as an ajax request?

With Google+, the preferred method is to use the client to get a one-time code and to provide this code to the server. The server then exchanges it for an access_token as part of verifying there is no malicious activity going on.
See https://developers.google.com/+/web/signin/server-side-flow for details.
