Use a method inside a UDF function Spark Scala - scala

Question

I want to use a method located in another class inside a user-designed function but it's not working.
I have a method:
def traitementDataFrameEleve(sc:SparkSession, dfRedis:DataFrame, domainMail:String, dir:String):Boolean ={
def loginUDF = udf((sn: String, givenName:String) => {
LoginClass.GenerateloginPersone(sn,givenName,dfr)
})
dfEleve.withColumn("ENTPersonLogin",loginUDF(dfEleve("sn"),dfEleve("givenName")))
}
LoginClass is a class that contains the GenerateloginPersone method.
Output error :
org.apache.spark.SparkException: Failed to execute user defined function(anonfun$loginUDF$1$1: (string, string) => string)

It is not allowed to access:
distributed data structures (like Dataset or RDD).
SparkConext / SparkSession
from Spark task (transformation, udf application). This is why you get a NPE.
