Jackson API Produces a JSON but cannot consume same JSON - json

Question

I am trying to implement a RESTful Web Service with Jackson and Jersey Servlets. My Webservices can produce this particular JSON as shown
{
   "email":"aditya#123.com",
   "source":{
      "G":33.2470567,
      "K":-95.89996559999997
   },
   "destination":{
      "G":33.0198431,
      "K":-96.69888559999998
   },
   "waypoints":[
      {
         "location":"Dallas, TX, USA",
         "stopover":true
      },
      {
         "location":"Houston, TX, USA",
         "stopover":true
      }
   ]
}
But when I try to consume the Same JSON it gives an internal server 500 error:
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('Â' (code 194)): was expecting double-quote to start field name
My POJOs & web service is as shown:
#XmlRootElement
public class RiderVO {
private String email;
private MapLocation source;
private MapLocation destination;
private List<Waypoint> waypoints;
//getters and setters
}
#XmlRootElement
public class MapLocation {
private Double G;
private Double K;
//getters and setters
}
#XmlRootElement
public class Waypoint {
private String location;
private Boolean stopover;
//getters & setters
}
WEB SERVICE:
#POST
#Path("/saveAll")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String saveRideJson(RiderVO riderVO){
//do something
}
I cannot figure out when it can produce a particular JSON why cannot I consume it. I did try changing the boolean parameters, and check if its isVar setter issues like here. But even that did not fix. Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks in advance!
