How to call javascript method from JWebunit

Question

I need to check my login screen through JWebunit test class.
The page doesnt have any sumbit button. We are using a href tag.
When we click the href, then process goes to goPasswordPage method script. this script will call the respective servlet LoginServelet.java.

The process details Home.jsp --> LoginServlet.java --> password.jsp

home.jsp

<head>
...
...
<title>Home</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
        function goToPasswordPage() {
             var mainForm1 = document.forms["mainForm"];
             mainForm1.submit();
        }
</script>
</head>
<body>
      <form id="mainForm" method="GET" action="LoginServlet">
            <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10">
               <tr>
                   <td>UserName:</td>
                   <td><input id="username" name="username" type="text" /></td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td><a href='javascript:goToPasswordPage()'>Go Password Page</a>
               </tr>
             </table>
      </form></body></html>

LoginServlet.java

public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public LoginServlet() {
    super();
}

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

    String userName = request.getParameter("username");

    /**
     * Here we did some back end validation.
     * Based on the validation, 
     * decided to navigate: go to the password page or same home page
     */     
    request.getRequestDispatcher("/password.jsp").forward(request, response);
}


protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {        
}
}

password.jsp

...
...
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Password</title>
</head><body>
    <%
      String username = request.getParameter("username");
    %>
    <p>Welcome <%=username%>!!!</p>
</body></html>

If the page have more than one link use index. otherwise no need use the index in clickLinkWithExactText method

@Test
public void testJSFDemoMethod() 
{
  beginAt("/home.jsp");
  assertTitleEquals("Home");
  setTextField("username", "Jack123");

  clickLinkWithExactText("Go Password Page",0);  //This is the answer for my question

  assertTitleEquals("Password");
}
