Context Information Available in a Global Function

In global functions, your Groovy script can reference only the following elements in the adf namespace:

• adf.context, as described in Referencing Information About the Current User..

• adf.util, to invoke other global functions as described in the section above.

• adf.webServices, to invoke registered web services as described in Calling Web Service Methods in Groovy.

In particular, other adf-prefixed elements like adf.source to reference the current object cannot be directly referenced in a global function's script. You need to reference them in the calling script and pass them in as a parameter to the global function. See Passing the Current Object to a Global Function for an example.
