The problem is that the JSON being sent in the HTTP Request body is marshaled to the first method parameter. Your other parameters are not annotated as to where they are coming from in the request, which is why you are getting the error:

ItemFacadeREST contains multiple parameters with no annotation.

Your best option would be to combine the parameters into a single JSON object; something like:

{

    "id1":[
        "string1",
        "string2"
    ],
    "id2":[
        "string3",
        "string4"
    ],
    "oo":[
        {
            "object1":""
        },
        {
            "object2":""
        }
    ]
}

And then change your method to:

 @POST
 @Path("Test3")
 @Produces("text/plain")
 @Consumes({"application/json"})
  public String Test3(MyJsonObject json) {
        //Parse the JSON object 

    }

You will, of course, need to define a class that represents the MyJsonObject.
