that seems overly complex. SPI is an internal mechanism used by C
functions that are called from SQL

why not just implement it as....

user application -> SQL -> PLjava FDW functions -> pljava code -> JDBC
-> foreign database

(and of course, back to return the data from said foreign database)

this would look to the user very much like dblink looks now, and have
similar security issues and mitigations.
