Cannot set Mac Address in the Action Field

code segment

ActionBuilder ab = createActionBuilder(order);
SetDlDstActionCaseBuilder caseBuilder = new SetDlDstActionCaseBuilder();
SetDlDstActionBuilder dstBuilder = new SetDlDstActionBuilder();
dstBuilder.setAddress(new MacAddress(mac));
caseBuilder.setSetDlDstAction(dstBuilder.build());
ab.setAction(caseBuilder.build());
ab.build();

or:

MacAddress addr = new MacAddress(mac);
return new ActionBuilder().setAction(
new SetFieldCaseBuilder().setSetField(
new SetFieldBuilder().setEthernetMatch(
new EthernetMatchBuilder().setEthernetDestination(
new EthernetDestinationBuilder().setAddress(addr).build())
.build()).build()).build()).setKey(new ActionKey(0)).build();

Error :
