I am very very new to HtmlUnit. I want to know do I am able to login to a site using htmlunit and perform some operations in the site for example I want to login to my office portal and to aplly a leave.
I am using html unit and it shows some errors, is its possible to do with html unit or are there any other tools I can use for this purpose...Here is my code
final WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_3_6);
webClient.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webClient.getCookieManager().setCookiesEnabled(true);
final HtmlPage page1 = webClient.getPage("http://www.ccstechnologies.org/login.aspx/");
final HtmlForm form = page1.getFormByName("form1");
final HtmlSubmitInput button = form.getInputByName("BtnLogin");
final HtmlTextInput textField = form.getInputByName("Username");
final HtmlPasswordInput pwd = form.getInputByName("password");
textField.setValueAttribute("username");
pwd.setValueAttribute("password");
final HtmlPage page2 = button.getEnclosingForm().click();
String htmlBody = page2.getWebResponse().getContentAsString();
System.out.println("Base Uri 1 : "+page1);
System.out.println("Base Uri 2 : "+page2);
webClient.closeAllWindows();
But when I print page2 it shows only the login page's url, and it is not returning the homepage url. What could be the problem ?
This is what I got in my console when clicked on form

Answer
Ok, I looked into it, it would seem the problem was with the button. I replaced you line of code for the button with this:
final HtmlPage page2 = (HtmlPage) form.getInputByValue("Login").click();
now it appears that it at least tries to login(and the page of course prints invalid login) so it should work with appropriate credentials. to print the page in java and see it use system.out.println(page1.asText()) or asXml depending on what you want to see
my code is finally this:
final WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_3_6);
webClient.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webClient.getCookieManager().setCookiesEnabled(true);
try{ final HtmlPage page1 = webClient.getPage("http://www.ccstechnologies.org/login.aspx/");
final HtmlForm form = page1.getFormByName("form1");
final HtmlSubmitInput button = form.getInputByName("BtnLogin");
final HtmlTextInput textField = form.getInputByName("Username");
final HtmlPasswordInput pwd = form.getInputByName("password");
textField.setValueAttribute("username");
pwd.setValueAttribute("password");
System.out.println(page1.asText());
final HtmlPage page2 = (HtmlPage) form.getInputByValue("Login").click();
String htmlBody = page2.getWebResponse().getContentAsString();
System.out.println(page2.asText());
System.out.println("Base Uri 1 : "+page1);
System.out.println("Base Uri 2 : "+page2);
webClient.closeAllWindows();}catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
}
