Hmm I guess I should really start looking at the imports!

I accidentally used import play.api.libs.ws.WS instead of import play.libs.WS; When using play.libs.WS all the methods such as post(String string) and setContentType(String string) revealed themselves. This is how I did it:

import play.Play;
import play.libs.F;
import play.libs.WS;

public static Result wsAction() {
    return async(
        play.libs.WS.url(Play.application().configuration()
            .getString("sms.service.url"))
            .setContentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8")                       
            .post("param1=foo¶m2=bar").map(
                new F.Function() {
                    public Result apply(WS.Response response) {
                       return ok(response.toString());
                    }
                }
            )
        );
    }
