Is is possible to call an existing expression function from within a custom func

Is is possible to call an existing expression function from within a custom functions plugin?

e.g. you can find a function by name using com.appiancorp.suiteapi.expression.Function but can you execute it?

Thanks

Bilal, a scalable approach would be to expose the rule via a webAPI and call it from where you require the rule to be executed. WebAPI's are available as of Appian 7.9

Thanks Sathya but I meant to ask that whether it is possible to call ANY existing expression function using the Appian public API e.g. using 'reflection'.

Another option since you mentioned the public API: forum.appian.com/.../TypedValue.html

I intended to use NamedTypedValue to work with the parameters but eventually I still need to execute the function.
