Hi Paul,
If the jsonString represents List<PostalAddressType> where
PostalAddressType is my JAXB generated bean then what should c be and
how can I create an instance. Sorry for asking such a basic question.
Also I note that the second arg to getMessageBodyReader is of a
different type. I can get that with following code (thanks Marc):
GenericEntity<List<PostalAddressType>> entityPostalAddresses = new
GenericEntity<List<PostalAddressType>>(listPostalAddresses) {};
Type genericTypePostalAddresses = entityPostalAddresses.getType();
So my call looks like:
providers.getMessageBodyReader(??, genericTypePostalAddresses,
(java.lang.annotation.Annotation[])null, "application/json");
and I am unsure how to get the first param in the call.
Thanks for your help.

I can deal with it for now thanks to your help.
