Hi,
you don't have to do the authentication yourself. Take a look here http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples
The authentication part in the web script framework is done before a the javascript or the java code is called. Be sure that you configured the authentication element in your desc.xml in the right way. In the most cases you should use

 <authentication>user</authentication>‍

Cheers, Jan
