Estoy utilizando el siguiente código de cliente de AngularJS para realizar una solicitud HTTP posterior con una carga útil con formato JSON al servicio de descanso de jersey

patientMgmtModule.controller('NewPatientCtrl',
function NewPatientCtrl($scope, $http)
{
    $scope.addPatient = function (){

    var patientJSON = angular.toJson($scope.Patient);
    console.log("Patient (JSON) is ============> " + patientJSON);

    $http({
      method: 'POST',
      data: $scope.Patient,
      url:'/ManagePatient/AddPatient',
      headers: {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;application/json;'}
    });
};

});

Tengo las siguientes dependencias de Maven para Jersey:

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-quickstart-webapp</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
  </dependency>

En el lado del servidor, tengo

import javax.ws.rs.Consumes;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import com.hms.app.ui.beans.Patient;

@Path("/ManagePatient")
public class PatientController {

  @POST
  @Path("/AddPatient")
  @Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
  public String addPatient(Patient patient) {
    System.out.println("Sarat's servlet called" );
    //patient.toConsole();
    System.out.println("Done Calling Patient To Console");
    return "Done Calling Patient To Console";
  } 
}

Cuando envío el formulario en el lado del cliente, veo el siguiente error en la consola de Chrome:

POST http://localhost:8080/HMS_Web/services/ManagePatient/AddPatient 500 (Internal Server Error) angular.min.js:99

y en el extremo del servidor, veo (detalle de alto nivel 1):

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Jersey REST Service] in context with path [/HMS_Web] threw exception
org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.HeaderValueException: Unable to parse "Content-Type" header value: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;application/json;"

y la última traza de pila tiene esto:

Caused by: java.text.ParseException: Expected separator '=' instead of '/'
