/**
 * Represents a message entity of a generic type {@code T}.
 * 

 * Normally type erasure removes generic type information such that a {@link Response} instance that contains, e.g., an
 * entity of type {@code List} appears to contain a raw {@code List} at runtime. When the generic type is
 * required to select a suitable {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter}, this class may be used to wrap the entity
 * and capture its generic type.
 * 
 * 

 * There are two ways to create an instance:
 * 
 * 

 * 
Create a (typically anonymous) subclass of this class which enables retrieval of the type information at runtime
 * despite type erasure. For example, the following code shows how to create a {@link Response} containing an entity of
 * type {@code List} whose generic type will be available at runtime for selection of a suitable
 * {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyWriter}:
 *
 * 
 * List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
 * GenericEntity<List<String>> entity = new GenericEntity<List<String>>(list) {
 * };
 * Response response = Response.ok(entity).build();
 * 
 *
 * 

 * where {@code list} is the instance of {@code List} that will form the response body and entity is an instance
 * of an anonymous subclass of {@code GenericEntity}.
 * 
 * 
 * 
Create an instance directly by supplying the generic type information with the entity. For example the following
 * code shows how to create a response containing the result of a method invoked via reflection:
 *
 * 
 * Method method = ...;
 * GenericEntity<Object> entity = new GenericEntity<Object>(
 *    method.invoke(...), method.getGenericReturnType());
 * Response response = Response.ok(entity).build();
 * 
 * 

 * The above obtains the generic type from the return type of the method, the raw type is the class of entity.
 *
