How to generate multiple impressions on a hyperlink through HtmlUnit in Java?

I am using the headless browser 开发者_如何学JAVAprovide by HtmlUnit

I have loaded a webpage in a webClient. Now I want to generate mulitple impressions on a hyperlink (on the loaded webpage) just like we hover our mouse cursor on a link various times on a link in a webpage in a real web browser.

How can I do that through HtmlUnit?

Hovering the mouse cursor on a hyperlink does not generate an impression.

• Clicking it generates an impression on the page to which it leads.
• Loading the link generates an impression for it (if it is an advertisement-link)

So, respectively:

• click the link with HtmlUnit and reload the target page multiple times
• reload the current page multiple times

You can try using the TestPlan frontend for HTMLUnit which makes this type of thing quite easy.

For example:

while is true
  GotoURL http://somepage.com/
  Click link:Buy Me!
end

Then just let it run until you have enough clicks. :)
