Calling a hot backup script from a client application

I am developing an application that connects to an Oracle 8i database on Windows NT or 2000. The application is written in Java, and I am using JDBC to access the database. I would like to have an option in the client application to start a database backup. This would be a hot backup, and the script would reside on the Oracle server. Does anyone know of a good way to call this script from an application? I also thought about making the hot backup a stored procedure, but I'm not sure how to do it that way (if it's possible at all). Any ideas on how to remotely call the script from the Java application would be helpful. Feel free to give any feedback even if you're not very familiar with Java.
