Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://127.0.0.1:8332

I'm trying to connect to bitcoind from java but I'm getting a 500 error, is there example code around for how to set it up?

I get a json error string when I connect from a browser, so it looks like bitcoind is running properly.

Did you set it up as a server?
(Under ~/.bitcoin NIX & AppData/bitcoin for Windows)

Not properly. I set the name and password but missed the "server=1" flag, thanks.

It's still not working. I'm pretty sure it's the json I'm sending, but looking at the examples for other languages isn't enough for me to go on.

Code:

               URL url = new URL(BITCOIN_DAEMON);
		URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
		conn.setDoInput(true);
		conn.setDoOutput(true);
		conn.setUseCaches(false);
		conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/plain");

		OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(
				conn.getOutputStream());
		JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
		jsonObject.put("getinfo", "");
		jsonObject.writeJSONString(outputStreamWriter);
		outputStreamWriter.flush();
		outputStreamWriter.close();

		DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream(conn.getInputStream());

I get a 400 error on the last line. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: The JSONObject was wrong, this one works:

Code:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();

jsonObject.put("method", "getinfo");
jsonObject.put("params", null);
