trouble upgrade from 1.4.5 to httpUnit1.5.2

[Anonymous]

I just recently upgrade the httpunit from 1.4.5 to 1.5.2.  I have encountered many problem. 
Even though my testsuite works perfectly in version 1.4.5, it came across numerous errors.  I even try to run the following code posted on the site to see if the test runs correctly:

WebConversation wc = new WebConversation();
    WebRequest     req = new GetMethodWebRequest( "http://www.meterware.com/testpage.html" );
    WebResponse   resp = wc.getResponse( req );

The result:
    [junit] Testcase: testMakeFromPart_AddComp(com.ge.ne.psi.view.TestParts_test):      Caused an ERROR

What is going on here?  There is something to do with the "getResponse" object of the webConversation object. 

Thanks in advance..

The sample code you are trying is not working code. Try the test classes instead.

There were some significant changes frm 1.4.5 to 1.5.2, including a newer parser, and at least on scripting bug. See if the latest prerelease fixes your problem.
