No, you need to fix your web server to properly provide the values in the places you already looked, that's part of basic setup.

Proxying layer 7 is strongly ill-advised, and I wouldn't do it, but if you choose to do it, that's just the cost of doing business. You need to use the Forwarded-For headers, apply appropriare protections at the load balancer to prevent smuggling, and the deploy the necessary features on the Java container to pick them up.
