Answer 1

You can do a regular query using Java on information_schema database to obtain the number of parameters of a stored procedure:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS 
WHERE 
    SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = 'your_database_name' 
    AND SPECIFIC_NAME='your_procedure_name'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION;

You can see the structure of parameters table here .
