NoSuchMethodError: Creating rest service

问题:

I have written a JAX-RS service with following auto created interface from the wadl configuration. But I am landing into following issue. What can be the cause of this error? The service is running for single Play object, the Path params but not for ArrayOfPlay. I am able to send an ArrayOfPlay from the server to client but facing this trouble while sending from client to server.

 @Path("/play")
 public interface PlayService {


@POST
@Consumes({"application/xml", "application/json" })
@Produces({"application/xml", "application/json" })
@Path("/post")
Response postUpdate(ArrayOfPlay arrayofplay);

 }

  ArrayOfPlay

  @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
  @XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
  "play"
  })
  @XmlRootElement(name = "ArrayOfPlay")
   public class ArrayOfPlay
  implements Serializable
   {
  
   private final static long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     @XmlElement(name = "Play", required = true)
   protected List<Play> play;
  
   public List<Play> getPlay() {
  if (play == null) {
      play = new ArrayList<Play>();
  }
  return this.play;
  }
  
  }
  

Update: If I send a List instead of ArrayOfPlay I am able to make it work. How to represent as List in wadl? The current representation is:

<representation mediaType="application/xml" element="ns:ArrayOfPlay"/>
