Jersey Exception : A message body reader for Java class and MIME media type application/x-www-form-urlencoded was not found

I have a Jersey based Rest WS which outputs JSON. I am implementing a HttpClient to invoke the WS and consume the JSON response. The client code I have is below

public static String sendPostRequest(String url, String accept,
        String authorization, Map<String, String> body)
        throws UnsupportedOperationException, IOException {

    HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
    if (authorization != null && !authorization.equals("")) {
        post.setHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + authorization);
        // post.setHeader("access_token", authorization);
    }

    List<NameValuePair> urlParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
    for (Map.Entry<String, String> map : body.entrySet()) {
        String key = map.getKey();
        String value = map.getValue();
        urlParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair(key, value));
    }

    UrlEncodedFormEntity urlEncodedFormEntity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(
            urlParameters);
    post.setEntity(urlEncodedFormEntity);

    HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
    System.out.println("Response Code : "
            + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
    String json = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
    System.out.println("JSON : " + json);
    return json;
}

I am sending the access token as header. I get the proper response if I use curl command for this curl -X POST http://192.168.33.70:8080/management/orgs/org1/apps?access_token=YWMtXh3LwK4XEeWaSPc_E_-PwQAAAVIRV758KgNhJ-y3wNNAx5MLSmwTQvi1OPg -d '{"name":"app1"}', but through HttpClient I get the following exception stacktrace :

I have the correct MIME TYPES in my request. My POJO has been annotated with XMLRootElement. Any help would be highly appreciated.

As the exception message suggests you are trying to Marshall/Unmarshall Map data type to JSON which is not supported by default in Jersey as the marshalling/unmarshalling of object is handled by JAXB which does not support maps. However the implementation can be overriden with GSON by google to register MessageBodyReader/Writer. A simple implementation of using GSON with Jersey can be found here. Apart from that there are many implementations of GSON with Jersey available on internet.

What I am more interested in is the code of UrlEncodedFormEntity class. Please post it for more insight.
