//query is your json   

 DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
 HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("http://my.site/test/v1/product/search?qy=");

 StringEntity input = new StringEntity(query, "UTF-8");
 input.setContentType("application/json");
 postRequest.setEntity(input);   
 HttpResponse response=response = httpClient.execute(postRequest);

String original = "hello world";
byte[] utf8Bytes = original.getBytes("UTF-8");

我的tomcat7实现是接受字符串作为ISO-8859-1;不管HTTP请求的内容类型是什么。当我试图正确解释'é'这样的字符时，下面的解决方案对我有效。

byte[] b1 = szP1.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
System.out.println(b1.toString());

String szUT8 = new String(b1, "UTF-8");
System.out.println(szUT8);

当试图将字符串解释为US-ASCII时，字节信息没有正确解释。

b1 = szP1.getBytes("US-ASCII");
System.out.println(b1.toString());

//query is your json   

 DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
 HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("http://my.site/test/v1/product/search?qy=");

 StringEntity input = new StringEntity(query, "UTF-8");
 input.setContentType("application/json");
 postRequest.setEntity(input);   
 HttpResponse response=response = httpClient.execute(postRequest);

将字符串转换为字节[]:

String s = "some text here";
byte[] b = s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

将字节[]转换为字符串:

byte[] b = {(byte) 99, (byte)97, (byte)116};
String s = new String(b, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);

当然，您应该使用正确的编码名称。我的示例使用了US-ASCII和UTF-8这两种常用的编码。

作为替代，可以使用Apache Commons中的StringUtils。

 byte[] bytes = {(byte) 1};
 String convertedString = StringUtils.newStringUtf8(bytes);

or

 String myString = "example";
 byte[] convertedBytes = StringUtils.getBytesUtf8(myString);

如果你有非标准的字符集，你可以相应地使用getBytesUnchecked()或newString()。
