Application testing using HttpUnit on SAP netweaver EP

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to perform blacbox testing on login page of an application running on SAP netweaver server.
The code in the testClass looks like this:
URL serverUrl = new URL(url);
        WebConversation conversation = new WebConversation();
        WebRequest request = new GetMethodWebRequest(serverUrl,"");
        WebResponse response = conversation.getResponse(request);
        assertNotNull("response of url: " + url, response);
WebForm[] logonform = response.getForms();
System.out.println("login form."+logonform.length+".");The length parameter above returns 0.
However when the same Html code for login page is run under IIS server, the length parameter is 2, which is correct.
Same code running under IIS is fine whereas under Netweaver EP server its not returning correct values.
Can anyone help on this matter.
The Html Source for the login page is :
<table valign="middle" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin-top:10">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" valign="Top" width="300" height="24" class="welcome">

Hi Kishor,
My code in Httpunit testClass looks like this:
URL serverUrl = new URL(url);
WebConversation conversation = new WebConversation();
WebRequest request = new GetMethodWebRequest(serverUrl,"");
WebResponse response = conversation.getResponse(request);
assertNotNull("response of url: " + url, response);
WebForm[] logonform = response.getForms();
System.out.println("Get no of forms-->"logonform.length".");
Here, I want to retrieve the number of forms in the page. I'm getting '0' as the output of "logonform.length" when trying on SAP EP server, whereas I used same html source to create a web page on local machine (windows xp sp 2)and tried to run on local server(IIS), the output is as expected i.e. 2.
If I try to use WebTable table = response.getTables()[0];
then the text associated with the table is shown as "iView is not compatible with your browser, operating system or device. Contact your system administrator"
My IE version is 6.0.
Is there some problem with the HttpUnit classed I'm using?
rgds,
