Thanks Sean, that was exactly what I need.  One question though...

How to correctly retain the Solr specific characters.
I tried adding escape chars but URLEncoder doesn't seem to care about that:
Example: 
String s1 = "\"mr. bill\" oh n?";
String s2 = "\\\"mr. bill\\\" oh n\\?";
String encoded1 = URLEncoder.encode(s1, "UTF-8");
String encoded2 = URLEncoder.encode(s2, "UTF-8");
System.out.println(encoded1);
System.out.println(encoded2);
Output:
%22mr.+bill%22+oh+n%3F
%5C%22mr.+bill%5C%22+oh+n%5C%3F

Should I allow the URLEncoder to translate s1, then replace %22 with ", %3F
with ?, and so on?
Or is there a better way?
