   At a further reading of the jWebUnit documentation, that should
have read, "in conjunction with [i.e., not "or"] the following
wrapper, which considerably simplifies a limited number of operations
in HttpUnit, including that of testing for the presence of various
page elements and setting the contents of and submitting HTML forms."
You'll likely still need to perform some operations using HttpUnit's
methods, as well.
