How to pass a String parameter as a non-array?

I'm passing a String parameter into a java function I wrote.

When I pass the string parameter the method is accepting my parameter as follows http://mywebsite.com/getCity.php?StateID={"state":"Alabama"}

I want my method to accept my string parameter as follows http://mywebsite.com/getCity.php?StateID=Alabama

How do I get rid of {"state":"Alabama"}?

Hi Shane can you paste here the method declaration or part of the code where it's being set? It will be helpful to know what parameters are being set
