Male Javas have a larger, darker red beak than females. This is especially evident in mature birds. A side profile of a male Javas beak reveals that where the beak going the head, the base of the beak is larger and has a pronounced higher profile or ridge. In birds which are in breeding condition, this profile is so evident that the beak appears to be swollen and bulging at its base. By contrast, female Javas have slim, less red, more pink colored beaks.

I don't know much about Java Sparrows, but I've bred cockatiels for 15 years. Look for the orange spot on the cheeks. The **** birds are always brighter. The only 100% sure way though is to have them ss (scientifically sexed) but that costs!

I definitely wouldn't chance that. The Cockatiels are too big and the Java's would probably get really badly injured if they were to fight.
