You can write a shell script to mount the server folder onto your client's filesystem. Once you have that working, you can just execute this shell script from Java code using Runtime class.

    String IPAddress = "...";
    String script= "/path/to/your/script.sh";
    String[] cmd = {script, IPAddress};
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    rt.exec(cmd);

You could have the shell script take IP adrress as commandline parameter. And then pass on the IP from java. I have modified the code above for this.
