I am new to plug-in development , I have developed expression function which has one required and three optional parameter. When i re-order or remove any of the optional parameter in between, it still passes the value in default order and it assumes wrong value. So do i need to map anything specific for the name in java function

Are you using "unlimited" option for parameter annotation?

nope, I am just using @Parameter(required=false) . no other annotation for that variable. my code sample looks like:
@Function
public TypedValue xyz(ServiceContext sc, @Parameter(required=true) Long a,@Parameter(required=false) String b,@Parameter(required=false) Long c,@Parameter(required=false) TypedValue[] d) {
...
...
}

For passing related parameter values, you can call your function with parameter name as xyz(a: aValue, c: cValue, b: bValue)

Yep, i tried that, but it fails. for example if i call xyz(a:aValue ,c:cvalue) , it is passed as xyz(a:avalue, b:cValue) . What am i missing ?

@syedi, the custom plugin functions do not accept keyword notation. the parameters will be passed in order you pass from SAIL code. So, for optional parameters, try passing null

By do not accept, I mean they do not recognize keyword notation

Have you used constructors ? Try constructor overloading as per the parameters.
