Also the second parameter should be:
entityPostalAddresses.getType()
Alternatively it is much easier if you use the array class instead e.g.
Class<PostalAddressType[]> c = PostalAddressType[].class;
MessageBodyReader<PostalAddressType[]> r = p.getMessageBodyReader(
c, c, new Annotation[],
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE);
PostalAddressType[] b = r.readFrom(c, c, new Annotation[],
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE,
new InBoundHeaders(),
new ByteArrayInputStream(jsonString.getBytes());
