Can anyone advise on how to turn off template variable matching in Jersey Client? org.glassfish.jersey.client.JerseyClient

based on @NathanKumar's comment I tried URL-encoding the ${...} content like this:

String query = query.replace("${", "%24%7B").replace("}", "%7D");

and it solved the problem!
