Ok, I added the token and it works just fine to authenticate the user each time a webservice is called, the thing is using a session would be more easy that to send all the data needed when a webservice is called (some of them are pretty tricky), is there any way to create a retrieve a session precedently created? With an id or something maybe? I google it but didn't find any usefull answer...
