Description Jing Qian

if you have a service call back function, or exception callback, the function must be defined inside the part(library or handlers).

validation tells you that. 

but you can still define a delegate which points to functions defined outside of the part
This does not work at runtime.

Joe want me to open this defect for validation.

please add validation as well for the delegate that equals to functions outside of the part.   (if you could detect it at validation time)

I am routing this to JavaGen (really should be Java runtime, but there is no component for that).

There is really nothing that validation can do, since i cannot check the runtime value of the variable. I am hoping that runtime can produce a helpful message for this

I have created a testcase that invokes a function outside of the program, as a delegate and it seems to work. I'm resolving this as works for me. If you still don't think it works, please provide a testcase.
