        Type Parameters:
        T - The type for which a filled instance is required
        Parameters:
        pojoClass - The name of the class for which an instance filled with values is required
        genericTypeArgs - The generic Type arguments for a generic class instance
        Returns:
        An instance of <T> filled with dummy values
        Throws:
        PodamMockeryException - if a problem occurred while creating a POJO instance or while setting its state
