This is the out-of-the-box webscript to get the authentication ticket for a user.

You can perform the logon and start a session by using AuthenticationUtils ,and then get repository service using WebServiceFactory.
Below is sample code


import org.alfresco.webservice.util.AuthenticationUtils;
import org.alfresco.webservice.util.WebServiceFactory;


WebServiceFactory.setEndpointAddress("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/");//soapapi
AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "admin");
WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService();//get repository servcie,
//you can also get other servcie through this factory class,for example WebServiceFactory.getDictionaryService()
