Jersey: Print the actual request

Question

How can I view the actual request that Jersey generates and sends to the server? I am having issues with a particular request and the fellow running the webserver asked to

@ivan.cikic's answer is for Jersey 1.x. Here's how you do it in Jersey 2.x:

import org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientConfig;
import org.glassfish.jersey.filter.LoggingFilter;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;

import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Entity;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Form;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

...

        ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();

        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(config);
        client.register(new LoggingFilter());

This is irrelevant but I just have to complain: The new LoggingFilter is really annoying because it forces you to use Java Util Logging. It would be better if it gave me control over the logger. Seems like a step backwards in design.
