Forms not populating?

I'm creating an application to login, and add items to carts. I'm almost done, problem is when loading up the product page, it doesn't load up the to select product sizes. The framework I'm communicating with is Magento.
Any ideas? It loads up fine on my actual web browser. But it doesn't show up on my actual java program. I'm using jsoup to parse html page and use the getelements() features. I had it return the product page and it's missing the selection.
Alittle more detail, I'm using httpclient, and http get to retrieve the product page data. All the cookies are configured, and headers are configured correctly.
This issue was solved, HttpClient is not a headless browser. It was not executing any of the javascript code. To remedy this situation, I suggest you find a headless browser package.

Saving current page as html file using java/jsp/jquery

I have a informative web page in my spring based web application which need to be saved as html/downloaded.
My requirement is to save/ download this opened webpage on click of a button on same page.
I used below code in javascript.
document.execCommand("SaveAs",true,"C:\Saved Content.html");
But this is only working in IE and not in other browsers.
Kindly help on this.
Simply no. JavaScript/Jquery is restricted to perform such operations due to security reasons.
The best way to achieve this, would be, to send a request to the server that would write the new file on the server.
Then from javascript perform a POST request to the server page passing the data you want to write to the new file.

how to refresh web page using java code?

I am creating a web page for an application and I need to refresh the page to see the changes.
how can I do it using Java or even ant script will do??
Thanks in advance
If you use Servlet, in your service method use code like this.
response.setHeader("Refresh", "10; URL=http://localhost:9090/J2EE_Exercise/index.html");
It will refresh my page in 10 seconds, and redirect it in "index.html" page which is the index page of my project named "J2EE_Exercise".

How can I tell the browser to load a html file with a Java servlet?

The idea is that you can add something to a database, which goes from browser -> java code -> JSP -> java code -> database, and you are then redirected to a page containing the information you sent. The servlets are in place but I cannot redirect to the HTML page from a get request.
I have a servlet to PrintWriter().print() the data in a Json object, but that servlet is called from the javascrit within the HTML page. How can I send the HTML page? Should I parse the HTML page and PrintWriter().print() each line? Is there a more proper way of doing this?
Keep in mind that sending HTML straight from JSP is not an option, and I can't change the structure of the system.
edit: Sorry, I typed that in a rush.
As a preface, the system is similar to StackOverflow, whereby you can submit a 'request' which prompts the community to crowd-source learning material.
Right now, the structure of the system is JS/HTML on the browser side, which communicates with a mySQL DB through an API written in Java. The API goes through JSP which communicates with an inner Java API for accessing the DB. The catch is that I must return Json objects from the API. I know that JSP is essentially useless and I could interface the two APIs without JSP, but this is a first year college project so I don't have the choice.
When you submit something to the database using the url /addrequest (or similar), the system puts the text into the database and then redirects you to /request/idnumber. When you access the /request/* URL, another servlet runs. I want this servlet to tell the browser to open my "request_display.html" page. Then the javascript on that page will call another url to get the Json object through the API, and then it will build the page.
I don't know how to tell the browser to open a html page. Should I just parse the html file and then use response.GetWriter().print() to do send the HTML?
If you are in a Servlet:
response.sendRedirect("pathOf YourHTMLPage");
If you are in a JSP page, try using a form or a "a" element. Like this:
<form action="nameOfYourServlet"></form>
or
Can't really understand what you are looking for but if you want to redirect user to an html page using servlet this can be done using response.sendRedirect("path to html");
It would be nice if you could explain via some code as your English is hard to understand.
response.sendRedirect("redirect.html");
Alternative way
ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
sc.getRequestDispatcher("/redirect.html").forward(request, response);

Loading resources before running java code in servlet

I have a servlet in tomcat. It takes a really long time for the java code in the backend to execute. Is there a way to load static resources (css,images,javascript) in parallel with the code in the backend? Right now, they are only loaded once the code finishes running.
You could use an Ajax-style solution where you paint your page without data, with a placeholder for retrieving the data, maybe even with a "loading" spinner graphic.
The way that an Ajax call works, when the page is loaded, some Javascript will fire that will launch an Ajax request to Tomcat via XmlHttpRequest that will start the calculation. The browser will notify the browser when the tomcat request is completed. Then there will be some javascript in the webpage that will take the response and replace the placeholder. If the server returns an HTML fragment, it's as simple as executing in javascript placeholder-div.innerHtml = your-response-text.
Here's a basic tutorial on Ajax and a Java-based example that has the web front-end communicating with a Java Servlet back-end.
