Simulate a click on JavaScript function in Java

I'm writing a program that interacts with a website automatically in Java. I figured out how to build and send GET/POST requests to simulate a click or form submit. But I encountered a link that runs a JavaScript function.

<a href="javascript:function()">Run</a>
function function()
{
    document.myform.submit();
}

After clicking, the webpage is redirected to another URL. How do I simulate this behavior in Java?

I've always had the best luck with HTMLUnit. It uses apache http and handles all the interaction pretty intuitively.

Use an existing library like Selenium or HttpClient to interact with a website.
