How to post raw json text in Jersey Client HTTP POST request?

I want to make an HTTP POST request, which requires parameters must be passed as raw JSON text, but I don't know how to do in with Jersey client.
Here is the API specs (works well in Postman Rest Client): (please look at the screenshot from my Postman, the URL, parameter in body, and 2 headers are Content-Type: application/json & Accept: application/json) Postman client
And here is what I've tried with Jersey:

JsonObject parameters = new JsonObject();
parameters.addProperty("centerId", centerId);
parameters.addProperty("studentId", studentId);

if (fromDate != null) {
    parameters.addProperty("fromDate", fromDate);
}
if (toDate != null) {
    parameters.addProperty("toDate", toDate);
}

Object response = client.target("http://localhost:8080/rest").path("student/calendar")
    .request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).post(Entity.json(parameters), String.class);

but nothing worked. Can anyone suggest what is the correct way to deal with Jersey in this case? Thank you.

Use an InputStream for your entity construction, it should work

String payload = "{\"schoolId\":1,\"studentId\":1,\"fromDate\":\"1454259600000\",\"toDate\":\"1456765200000\"}";

client.target("<targetURI>")
.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.post(Entity.entity(
    new ByteArrayInputStream(payload.getBytes()),
    MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON
));

But in the end, Entity.json(payload) should also work.
