I think you are making it more complicated than it really is.
1)Make a POJO (normal object with getters and setters)
2)Include media-moxy maven package in your project
3)write a test for your service like:
Activity=new Activity();
activity.setTags(tags);
Client client =
ClientBuilder.newBuilder().register(MoxyJsonFeature.class).build();
Entity<Activity> ent= Entity.entity(activity,
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
Response response =
client.target(hostname+"/activities").request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).header("Cookie",
getSessionId()).post(ent);
assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(),
response.getStatus());
assertEquals(true,response.hasEntity());
//COMMENT JSONObject jo=new
JSONObject(response.readEntity(String.class));
Activity retAct=response.readEntity(Activity.class);
assertEquals(activity,retAct);
