What you are sending are not query parameters but form parameters
encoded in the body of the request.
You can use the class:
com.sun.jersey.api.representation.Form
as follows:
Form f = new Form();
f.add("appid", "YahooDemo");
...
ResultSet searchResults = r.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML).post
(ResultSet.class, f);
If using query parameters then you can use UriBuilder to construct
the URI and add query parameters.
