Answer 1

Below worked for me

On server side:

 @RequestMapping(value = "test", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {"application/xml", "application/json"})
        @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
        public @ResponseBody
        String methodName(@RequestBody EntityClassName entity) {

On client side:

String json = new JSONStringer().object()
                        .key("key").value("value")
                        .endObject()
                        .toString();
StringEntity se = new StringEntity(json);
se.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
request.setEntity(se);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
