Simulate clicking a submit button in Java


I am writing the program in Java, and i want to fill out the specified fields of form, simulate submit clicking, so get the result page. I am testing my idea on the url http://stu21.kntu.ac.ir/Login.aspx that have two fields txtusername and txtpassword. I am trying the code as follow but it does not return the result page for me. How can i do it ? What do i wrong in this code ?

        DefaultHttpClient conn = new DefaultHttpClient();
        conn = new DefaultHttpClient();

        ArrayList<NameValuePair> pairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
        pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("txtusername", "8810103"));
        pairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("txtpassword", "8810103"));

        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://stu21.kntu.ac.ir/Login.aspx");
        UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(pairs,
                "UTF-8");

        httpPost.setHeader(
                "UserAgent",
                "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/12.04 Chromium/18.0.1025.151 Chrome/18.0.1025.151 Safari/535.19");

        httpPost.setEntity(entity);
        HttpResponse response = conn.execute(httpPost);
        InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
        RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(
                "/home/hossein/Desktop/random.aspx", "rw");
        raf.seek(0);

        int bytes = 0;
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

        while ((bytes = is.read(buffer)) != -1)
            raf.write(buffer, 0, bytes);

        raf.close();
        is.close();

Sorry if my question duplicates with another threads, i can not find my solution on other threads.

Thanks In Advance :)


Solution

  • I think you need HTTPUnit. There is a good tutorial at javaworld.

    Just look at the following example there :

    public void testGoodLogin() throws Exception {
        WebConversation     conversation = new WebConversation();
        WebRequest  request = new GetMethodWebRequest( "http://www.meterware.com/servlet/TopSecret" );
        WebResponse response = conversation.getResponse( request );
    
        WebForm loginForm = response.getForms()[0];
        request = loginForm.getRequest();
        request.setParameter( "name", "master" );
    
        // "clicking the button" programatically
        response = conversation.getResponse( request );
    
        assertTrue( "Login not accepted", 
                   response.getText().indexOf( "You made it!" ) != -1 );
        assertEquals( "Page title", "Top Secret", response.getTitle() );
    } 
    

    I am sure that you can do your testing just like this.
