Hi Jim, Be sure to set your request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST and assign your URLVariables to the data property of your URLRequest and then pass that to navigateToURL(...).
On the server, you can access these name/value pairs as request parameters (HttpServletRequest#getParameterMap()). Using navigateToURL() is the right way to do this.
