XWT callback to specific instance [message #520304]

I am trying out XWT and running into some confusion.
My foo.xwt has a tag referencing the Java class providing callback support.
For example,
<Composite ... x:Class="Foo">
. . .
<Button x:style="SWT.PUSH" text="Bar" SelectionEvent="selection" ></Button>

with a file Foo.java containing the callback handler

public class Foo extends Composite {

public XwtComponent1(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
}

protected void selection(Event event) {
. . . }
}

Now, from Bar.java I am loading the XWT to open the GUI. I'd like to have
the button click go to a method in my BAR.java class and to
the *instance* of BAR which opened the GUI.
What are the mechanics of this or am I going down the wrong path completely?

The class must be complete name.

You can find more example codes in org.eclipse.e4.xwt.tests.

Thank you for your response. Perhaps I oversimplified the first part of my post. Yes, the class would be fully qualified.... The core part of my question is the second half regarding having the widget callback (selection(...) ) either 1) go to an instanceof x.y.Foo that is known by my code (vs. a new instance created by the XWT engine) or 2) the callback goes to the instance which requested XWT to open the GUI spec to begin with. I reviewed many of the test examples and nothing is jumping out as addressing this question. Can you point me to an example?
i.e. a button on the XWT created GUI which calls back into the code which opened that XWT GUI.
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

You can specify BAR directly in x:Class.

Precisely, you can look at the class XWTAbstractPart in
org.eclipse.e4.xwt.ui.workbench:
newOptions.put(XWTLoader.CLASS_PROPERTY, this);
