I have stored a webpage's HTML in the database.
I want to take advantage of HtmlUnit's ability to find/reference DOM elements.
Is it possible to load the HtmlPage object from a string (via a database column)?
A:
uhhmm well yes.
You just need to serve it ( if you're using java you can use Tomcat for that ) and point your test to the served page.

A:
StringWebResponse may help.
Edit: example:
URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
StringWebResponse response = new StringWebResponse("<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body></body></html>", url);
HtmlPage page = HTMLParser.parseHtml(response, new TopLevelWindow("top", new WebClient()));
System.out.println(page.getTitleText());

A:
I assume you're using HtmlParser.parseHtml to create the HtmlPage object and just need a WebResponse to pass to it?
If so, StringWebResponse will wrap your string so you can pass it directly to parseHtml.
