Cannot read json from Jersey client Response

Question

I have a Jersey REST service set up like this:

@GET
@Path(ResourceConstants.PATH_START_BATCH)
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public ServiceResponse startBatch(@QueryParam(ResourceConstants.PARAM_BATCH_ID) String batchId)
{
    ServiceResponse serviceResponse = new ServiceResponse();

    try
    {
        // will throw exception on error
        this.processorService.startBatch(batchId);

        Map<String, String> responseDetails = serviceResponse.getResponseDetails();
        responseDetails.put("success", "success");

        return serviceResponse;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Map<String, String> responseDetails = serviceResponse.getResponseDetails();
        responseDetails.put("Failure", "Failed to start with exception " + ex.getMessage());
        throw WebServiceException.generate(ex, serviceResponse);
    }
    finally
    {
        logger.debug("Exit startBatch");
    }
}

where the ServiceResponse looking like this:

@XmlRootElement
public class ServiceResponse implements Serializable
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private HashMap<String, String> responseDetails;

    public ServiceResponse()
    {
        this.setResponseDetails(new HashMap<String, String>());
    }

    public HashMap<String, String> getResponseDetails()
    {
        return responseDetails;
    }

    public void setResponseDetails(HashMap<String, String> responseDetails)
    {
        this.responseDetails = responseDetails;
    }
}

I've written a little test client that looks like this:

public class ProcessorClient
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String batchId = "472539";

        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
        client.register(JacksonFeature.class);

        WebTarget webTarget = client.target("http://localhost:8080/")
                .path(ResourceConstants.PATH_START_BATCH)
                .queryParam("batchId", batchId);

        Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder = webTarget.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);

        Response response = invocationBuilder.get();

        int responseStatus = response.getStatus();

        ServiceResponse serviceResponse = response.readEntity(ServiceResponse.class);

        serviceResponse.getResponseDetails();
    }
}

Running the client works fine, the XML in the body is unmarshalled into a ServiceResponse object. However, when we change:

        Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder = webTarget.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);

to:

        Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder = webTarget.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);

we get errors. I use Maven and have included the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
</dependency>

and as shown above am registering the JacksonFeature on the client. But, I must be missing something. I haven't been able to find any good how-to/examples using Jackson and Jersey 2.x. What is missing so that the client can create the ServiceResponse object from the json string in the response body?

EDIT

Here's the response body back from the browser when requesting JSON:

{"responseDetails":{"entry":[{"key":"Failure","value":"Failed to start with exception Could not find batch with ID=abc"}]}}
