This is valid JSON for an array:

{"elements": [
        {"field1" : value1, "field2" : value2}, 
        {"field1" : value3, "field2" : value4},
        ...]
};

You don't need to send text, you can send it as JSON. Also your MyEntity should have @XmlRootElement on it (see here, section 5.2 for an example).

You don't need PathParam in your arguments, someParam is available when the request is posted if you leave the @Path("/some-path/{someParam}") in your method signature .
