Failed : HTTP error code : 400 While postin JSON data to URL

I tried searching the net for this issue but finally ended up getting no proper answer.

I am trying to post a json data to a URL, I have no idea where my code went wrong, I am getting Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed : HTTP error code : 400 It would be of great help if anyone could help me outwith this issue.

MY CODE :

public class JsonTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    try {

        URL url = new URL("http://10.48.151.32:30304/transactionManagement/v2/transaction");
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");

        String input = "{\"qty\":100,\"name\":\"iPad 4\"}";

        OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
        os.write(input.getBytes());
        os.flush();

        if (conn.getResponseCode() != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_CREATED) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : "
                + conn.getResponseCode());
        }

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                (conn.getInputStream())));

        String output;
        System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n");
        while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
            System.out.println(output);
        }

        conn.disconnect();

      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

      } catch (IOException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

     }

    }

}
