I am trying to get data from e-commerce sites by crawling using jsoup. Since I am getting dynamic contents i am using HtmlUnitDriver. But it is returning only empty tags as given below.

I have also enabled javascript by giving the following

HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.CHROME);
driver.setJavascriptEnabled(true);

But still i am getting empty tags, please help me in this.

NOTE: I am using chrome browser.

<html>
  <head/>
  <body/>
</html>

You need to `wait`, please look into http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/faq.html#AJAXDoesNotWork – Ahmed Ashour Oct 12 '15 at 07:28
You mean i have to add wait there, as the htmlunit is still executing it? – Avles Oct 12 '15 at 07:36
Yes, you need to `wait()` for the background JavaScript to finish – Ahmed Ashour Oct 12 '15 at 07:50
I am new to this webclient, and can you please give me a full sample showing it. – Avles Oct 12 '15 at 09:59
