I'm no expert on this (in fact, I try to avoid using SPs as it embeds
business logic within the database - not nice) but the only way I can that
you could currently do this would be to write a C function which spawns a
JVM and executes your class. I'm confident that you're a sufficiently
experienced developer to instantly realize that this would almost
certainly bring the server to its knees :-(

That said, I'm curious about why you want to call a Java SP (other than
you can't implement some essential function without resorting to SPs and
you don't have time to learn a new language..).
