I have a similar problem, I have an application written in Dojo That I need to test, I have tried with HTMLUnit (http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/) and have had some success, it does spit out a lot of errors.

 

I am by no means a HTMLUnit, but it does seem to work with the grinder. I have got as far as opening the web page (with authentication) and getting the form elements, but have not successfully submitted the form (could be weirdness with my app?) The getting started guide (http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/gettingStarted.html) has java examples that are not hard to convert to Jython.

If you try it I would be interested to hear how you go.

 

Dave.

Its theoretically possible to download and execute the javascript, but
this would be quite a research project.

I'd say your best route would be first to capture and understand the URL
generation behaviour of the javascript (either by inspecting the
javascript code, or recording the behaviour with wireshark or the
TCPProxy), then duplicate its function in your script.
