APEX Class Webservice keyword

Has anyone been successful calling webservice methods?
I added the webService keyword to the methods i wanted to expose. I created a WSDL and generated a Web Reference (in .NET).
When i attempt to call the webmethod i get: INVALID_SESSION_ID: Invalid Session ID found in SessionHeader: Illegal Session error.

Are these web services locked down? There is NO login methods available through the webreference like the SalesForce enterprise API.
How would I authenticate to call my custom web method?



thanks,

call the login method on the regular enterprise or partner API, and use the resulting sessionId with your specific apex stub.

Hi There, 

Can you please suggest how can i pass username/password/token to the webservice method? 

I mean there is no seperate Login mehod in apex to do the authentication in the apex class. Then how can i achieve the handshake when i call my apex webservice method from outside salesforce?

Many thanks in advance!

Call login in the enterprise or partner API, or use oAuth, or use web links to pass a sessionId from salesforce to your app. depends on exactly how you're trying to integrate.
