If a vendor-specific property or hint is not recognized, it is silently ignored.

Parameters:: entity - a managed entity instance; properties - standard and vendor-specific properties and hints

Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if the instance is not an entity or the entity is not managed; TransactionRequiredException - if there is no transaction when invoked on a container-managed entity manager of type {@link PersistenceContextType#TRANSACTION}; EntityNotFoundException - if the entity no longer exists in the database
