Yes. Eugeney Putilin is working together with Paul Ruizendaal and me on
so-called "external procedures". In parallel, JavaSPs are implemented using
that interface. I have seen the prototype already, it works, approx. 1-5 ms
is spent on the Java method call.

But do not expect release soon - I think it will happen only after the next
release of the server.
