FB3, when it'll be available, should support external Java procedures,
but this is the future.
Actually nothing like that.
Workarounds maybe, but why?

Do you know that having procedures calling procedures is a performanca
killer? A very complex query give the optimizer a chance to choose and
keep only necessary data, while parametrized stored procs cannot be
optimized when they are called.

Anyway you don't specify which Fb version are you using, so it's hard to
tell what can you achieve.
