How do I set params for WS.post() in play 2.1 Java

Question

I\'m trying to perform a post with play.api.libs.ws.WS but I can\'t figure out how to set the params, my code:

Promise promise = WS.url(Play.         


        

Answer 1

The accepted answer is wrong, or at least misleading. The code

WS.url("http://localhost:9001")
    .setQueryParameter("param1", "foo")
    .setQueryParameter("param2", "bar")
    .post("content");

will post the string content to http://localhost:9001/?param1=foo¶m2=bar, which is almost certainly not what the OP wanted. What is much more likely to work is

WS.url("http://localhost:9001")
   .post(Map("param1" -> Seq("foo"),
             "param2" -> Seq("bar")))

which posts the form param1=foo¶m2=bar to the the URL http://localhost:9001, which is typically what the server wants.
