Always getting 400 - Bad request when posting data in a REST/JAX-RS

Person.java

@XmlRootElement
public class Person {
    
    private int id;
    private String fname;
    private String lname;

    // getter and setter
}

REST POST service

@POST    
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON}) 
public void createPerson(JAXBElement<Person> person) {
      Person p = person.getValue();
      System.out.println("========= Person ===========");
      System.out.println(p.getFname() + " " + p.getLname());
      System.out.println("========= Person ===========");
}

OR this one

@POST    
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON}) 
public void createPerson(Person person) {          
      System.out.println("========= Person ===========");
      System.out.println(person.getFname() + " " + person.getLname());
      System.out.println("========= Person ===========");
}

Test Client: Always return 400 - Bad request.

ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
 Client client = Client.create(config);
 WebResource service = client.resource("http://localhost:8084/rest/api/person");
                              
 Person person = new Person();
 person.setId(1);
 person.setFname("John");
 person.setLname("Doe");                
 ClientResponse resp = service.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).post(ClientResponse.class, person);
    
 System.out.println(resp.getStatus()); //Always return 400 - Bad request

Any help is much appreciated. By the way I am using jersey 1.8. I can make it work in latest Jersey version, but I need to make it work also in previous version of Jersey.

Apache Tomcat Server Log output: (But I don't think it has implication in the 400 - Bad Request?)

Your createPerson() method is not annotated with @Path("/person") annotation, where Path is of type javax.ws.rs.Path and your service interface also needs to be annotated with @Path("/api")
