Call an standard adapter inside a custom made adapter.

Question

Hello,
I need to add a user to a group inside Active Directory. For this I needed to get some extra info (that I got via an adapter). Now I need to call
the 'ADCS Add User to Group' adapter which comes with the AD connector. How can I do this? Some thoughts :
- I can copy the source-code from this adapter and append it to my adapter
- maybe I can modify my process definiton and make in some way (how?) that first my custom adapter is called and
next the standard adapter.
- Is there a way to call an adapter directly inside my adapter?
Thanks in advance

Ahhhh I see. Hmm you can't call the adapter like I was thinking then, essentailly you are thinking of one process task adapter calling another.
Could you not update the users process form (probably the "groups" child form in this case) with the data that you get from your code and then that will trigger the group update automatically? The only other thing I think you could do would be to duplicate the group update adapter in your adapter but this could have the result of creating group memberships that are not seen on your AD child form and you really want the child process form to show all of a users group memberships.
My approach would probably be to update the child form from the recon insert and allow the existing workflow to automatically update the group membership in AD.
