Help NeEDED. How to link to soap web service from objective c

Question

Hello , HELP
I'm trying to connect to a SOAP based web service using objective C as my programming language. Although the little bit of information on the Apple Dev centre documents is should be straight forward, im struggling like **.
What im trying to do is connect via a small username and password text-box plus 'login' button from interface builder to
https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl and parameter called login.
then pass it my username and password from the interface text-boxes plus a few other standard set bits of information which are required.
in turn the soap request will pass back a session token which i need to store.
I've tried using WSMakestubs, which builds successfully the classes, but when calling them method nothing happens.

Hello Etresoft
Thanks again for coming back to me.. I would like to add that maybe on my first thread i wasn't as clear on what i was asking for, and also what avenues have have stepped down before asking for help.. Believe me i hate nothing more than not being able to resolve something myself. I'm currently reading 'another' programming in cocoa book by Arron Hillgrass, although he touches on the web service call to a Amazon web service example, he doesn't go into detail about how to actually do this.
So again thank you for trying to help me.. its greatly appreciated.
Ok back to the subject, and your response below.. I will try and be as informative as i can.
I'm want to create a application using the interface builder which has a username and password textfield plus a button called <login>..
On entering the username and password and pressing the login button, i was to send a request to the a .wdsl (SOAP) web service and login.! the webservice in return will send back a session token, which i need to store for further web service calls.
In xcode i have been trying now for 1 week..!!! and the more i read up on how to make the Soap request call the more i fail to understand if this is simple or complex.
* A bit more info if i may, on clicking the login button i need to send information to the below address as a soap type request.
https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl
i need to also tell the request the method name which is loginreq
and also i need to pass these parameters in the request.
username (from textfield)
password (from textfield)
productId = '82'
vendorsoftwareId = '0'
locationId = '0'
ipAddress = '0'
The stage I've got to is, I've used wsmakestubs and I've tried 'wdsl2objc' to create the classes required. I have then created a app controller class and a interface build app with the textfields and login button. I have then linked up the textfields and button to the nsobject appcontroller with a action ibaction loginreq etc. On build and go the app builds without error's but fails to do anything when i press the login button.. (more i think about this the more i think its either two things, one im not passing the parameters and two im not invoking the loginreq method from the class.)
I feel like im wading in treacle and getting nowhere fast.!
All i would like is for some help from someone to point me the correct direction..
Im thinking that with all the Soap web services out there in the WWW, this must now be a easy thing to do in xcode. Im starting to think im stupid..
Thanks again for you Help
