Did you try calling your webscript under /alfresco/wcs/ instead of /alfresco/service/ :?:

The /wcs (or "/wcservice") servlet uses Web Client authentication, whereas the "/s" or "/service" servlet uses HTTP Basic auth.

Using the wcs entry path will present users with the web client login page before executing the web script, which may or may not be what you want.

Your other option is to append a ticket onto your inventoryNumbers URL:

?ticket=${session.ticket}‍

Thanks,
Mike
