Migration from jersey 1.* to 2.*

Question

I am migrating my application from jersey 1.* to jersey 2.*. If have made the following changes.

removed the below entries from pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
        <version>1.19</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-json</artifactId>
        <version>1.19</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.19</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-servlet</artifactId>
        <version>1.19</version>
    </dependency>

Added the below entries in pom.xml

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
        <version>2.17</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-common</artifactId>
        <version>2.17</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
        <version>2.17</version>
    </dependency>

I have the below changes in web.xml as well

com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer to 
org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer and init-param from 
com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages to 
jersey.config.server.provider.packages

After restarting my tomcat, when I initiated a post request, I get the below exception.
