No books are needed. The HtmlUnit Web site has explanations and sample code.

Thank you for the reply. I have seen the htmlunit website and search alot in google but I still don't know where could I begin. Is htmlunit a part of JEE? I'm still new in java and doesn't have much experience in JSE.(I'm currently reading the multithreading in Head First Java ). It would be much appreciated if someone could suggest where could I begin?

HtmlUnit does not need or make use of JEE. Have you tried running the sample codes against a Web site of your choosing?

yes, I have setup the htmlunit in the netbeans and tried to use the sample code from the htmlunit website. below is the code that I use. But still things are not yet clear to me. if the code below can access the google.com, is there a way on how I could confirm it? what does the environment should I expect? based in website it is a GUI-less browser does it mean it will just run in command line?

Yes, HtmlUnit code runs on the command line. Check the javadocs for what you can do with the HtmlPage object the call returns - it has methods to get at the page content.

I see, thanks for answering my query. It really helps me. I can now connect to a webpage using a command line app.

 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
