To POST from your java application is fairly straigtforward.
It is very similar to a get, except you must set the method (get/post)
the in request header. Then you need to write the post data out to a
stream.

Example code:
/*
* _url is the url of the server
* _request is the data you want to post
*/
public String getResponse (URL _url, String _request)throws Exception{
  
  HttpURLConnection c = null;
  InputStream is = null;
  OutputStream os = null;
  // b is to collect the repsonse from the server
  StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer( );

  // open the connection
   c = (HttpURLConnection)_url.openConnection();
   // set the http headers
   c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
   c.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + Integer.toString
(_request.getBytes().length) );
    c.setDoOutput(true);
    c.setDoInput(true);
    // set the method (i.e. GET or POST)
    c.setRequestMethod("POST");

    // get the output stream - this is for writing the post data to
    os = c.getOutputStream();
    // write the data
    os.write(_request.getBytes());
    os.flush();
    os.close();
    // Get HTTP response
    is = c.getInputStream( );
    System.out.println("Response code = "+ c.getResponseCode());
    int ch;
    while ((ch = is.read( )) != -1){
      b.append((char) ch);
    }
    is.close();
    c.disconnect();
    // b contains the data returned from the server
    return(b.toString());

}
