MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.add("name", "xx");
map.add("password", "xx");
restTemplate.postForObject("URL", map, Response.class);
But it doesn't work. I want to send data into bitstamp api.
EDIT: My spring bean seems:
<bean id="restTemplate" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
    <property name="messageConverters">
            <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter" />
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
EDIT 2: My code seems
List<MediaType> acceptableMediaTypes = new ArrayList<MediaType>();
acceptableMediaTypes.add(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);// or any other
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setAccept(acceptableMediaTypes);
HttpEntity<String> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<String>("key=XX&nonce=XX&signature=XX", headers);
ResponseEntity<AccountBalance> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(
"https://www.bitstamp.net/api/balance/", HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, AccountBalance.class);
Response is now: Missing key, signature and nonce parameters
But it should be: API key not found
                query parameters in message body this is self contradictory.  Query parameters are in the url, the request body is the request body.

                You seem to be missing some core REST concepts.  Maybe start here: spring.io/blog/2009/03/27/rest-in-spring-3-resttemplate but you may need a more fundamental understanding of REST first.

                I don't uderstand why it doesn't work. Because when I use this method (POST request):  mkyong.com/java/how-to-send-http-request-getpost-in-java Then it works perfectly. Is it possible to do it with resttemplate?

                you are still using restTemplate.postForObject, while I advise you yo uer restTemplate.exchange

It works now, thank you all :-)       
MultiValueMap<String, String> body = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
body.add("key", "XXX");
body.add("nonce", "XX");
body.add("signature", "XX");
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);
HttpEntity<?> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<Object>(body, headers);
ResponseEntity<AccountBalance> responseEntity = restTemplate.exchange(bitstampBalanceUrl, HttpMethod.POST,
                requestEntity, AccountBalance.class);
