Cannot construct instance of `java.time.ZonedDateTime` (no Creators, like default construct, exist)

As @PaulSamsotha pointed out, I need to register the JacksonJsonProvider on the client side too:

ClientConfig cc = new DefaultClientConfig();
cc.getSingletons().add(ShopApplication.newJacksonJsonProvider());
wr = Client.create(cc).resource(Main.BASE_URI.resolve("products"));

which contains the customized solution:

private static JacksonJsonProvider newJacksonJsonProvider() {
  ObjectMapper mapper =
      new ObjectMapper()
          .registerModule(new ParameterNamesModule())
          .registerModule(new Jdk8Module())
          .registerModule(new JavaTimeModule()); // new module, NOT JSR310Module
  mapper.disable(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS);
  mapper.setDateFormat(new StdDateFormat());
  return new JacksonJsonProvider(mapper);
}

I was able to deserialize a JSON file with a ZonedDateTime with this code.

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper()
objectMapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule())
MyObject myObject = objectMapper.readValue(new File("src/test/resources/data/my_object.json"), MyObject.class)
