      The Pojo codec is limited in handling multiple level generic types that are passed through the class heirarchy.

      Take the following classes:

      abstract class GenericBaseModel<A, B, C> {

    private A alpha;
    private B bravo;
    private C charlie;
   
   // ... getters & setters
}

public abstract class GenericPassThroughModel<A, B, C> extends GenericBaseModel<C, B, A> {

}

public final class GenericPassThroughModelImpl extends GenericPassThroughModel<List<String>, Integer, String> {

}

      The concrete types of GenericPassThroughModelImpl are lost due to the PojoCodecs type detection.

      See first comment for the previous description.
