GenericEntity should have an additional constructor so that rawType,
type, and
entity can be set by applications using reflection to construct entity
objects.

public GenericEntity(Class rawType, Type genericType, T entity)
{
    this.rawType = rawType;
    this.genericType = genericType;
    this.entity = entity;
}

This would allow applications that are using reflection to set the
generic type.
  It would be public as it doesn't make much sense to require extending.
