How to Maven JUnit-test HTML pages containing Javascript and calling a servlet?

I am still new to Javascript and Servlets. I have some HTML pages containing javascript code and these pages can call a servlet. I want to develop JUnit-like test for this page to run from Maven.

I googled and found JSUnit to test Javascript and HttpUnit to test Servlets, but how can I test my HTML page by simulating clicks and user actions? Is there a framework to write these tests in a Java/JUnit fashion? Basically, I want to automate these as part of a maven compilation process.

I use a combination of JWebUnit as the driver and easyb for writing specifications.

JWebUnit will drive either HtmlUnit or Selenium. This is both good and bad; good because the behavioral tests can run on a headless server via HtmlUnit, bad because I lose some functionality of HtmlUnit in the process... some tests "go native". Pretty good JavaScript support, too.

Have you looked at Selenium and Watir? Selenium can capture the clicks and then be put into a jUnit framework to run like it was unit tests. Watir does the same type of thing in Ruby.
