How to set parameters into URL HttpPost?

I'm using Apache HttpClient to send sms via my project, I have this function:

  public void sendSMS(SMS sms) throws IOException {
    String auth = smsUsername + ":" + smsPassword;
    byte[] encodedAuth = encodeBase64(auth.getBytes(StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1));
    
    ObjectMapper oMapper = new ObjectMapper();    
    Map<String, Object> map = oMapper.convertValue(sms, Map.class);
    StringEntity params = new StringEntity(map.toString());       

    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(smsEndpoint);
    post.setHeader(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION, "Basic " + new String(encodedAuth));   
    post.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    post.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
    post.setEntity(params);       
    
    try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault();
            CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post)) {
        LOGGER.log(Level.INFO, () -> "the response: " + response.toString());
    }
}

My problem is the parameters into the url are empty, how do I resolve that? Thanks in advance.

Adding an entity to a HttpPost will add a body. If you want to add parameters, you have to add it to the url. At the moment your URL is the smsEndpoint.

You can just add the parameters there:

List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("param1", "value1"));

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(smsEndpoint);
URI uri = new URIBuilder(httpPost.getURI())
            .addParameters(nameValuePairs)
            .build();
httpPost.setURI(uri);
