Calling REST service from groovy script. Encoding troubles.

[Andrey Pechnikov]

Hello all.
I'm trying to call one of REST services from groovy script. I'm doing it this way:

HttpClient client=new DefaultHttpClient();        
            HttpEntity requestEntity=null;
            try{
                requestEntity=new StringEntity(json);
                HttpPost post = null;
                post = new HttpPost("https://myjira.com:8443/rest/tempo-teams/1/team");
                post.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic base64_encoded_login"); 
                post.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
                post.setEntity(requestEntity);
                ResponseHandler<String> handler = new BasicResponseHandler();
                HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
                String body = handler.handleResponse(response);
                int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
                if(statusCode!=HttpStatus.SC_OK){
                    System.err.println("Status code = " + statusCode);
                    System.err.println("Method failed: "+method.getStatusLine());
                }
                System.out.println("BODY  = \n"+body);
                System.out.println("CODE = " + statusCode );
             }

service works successfully but russian symbols are displayed as "?", and that's the trouble.
They're in json string.
As you see i set encoding in Content-Type header. 
May be i need to change system's groovy encoding?

Thanks in advance.

requestEntity=new StringEntity(json,HTTP.UTF_8) is the answer.

Also all the application encoding settings are set to UTF-8 and everything is fie if calling rest service via rest client.
