Transient are ignored in response

[lowcasz]

I have some fields which should be displayed in response, but not stored in db.
I'm trying to add property to response, but I can't.
Using additional getters, it doesn't work.
Using @transient fields with @PolstLoad calculate() method, it doesn't work too?

IMO Response should be controlled by @JsonIgnore/@JsonInclude instead of @transient
Is it purposeful behaviour?
Can I do this on Entity level without overrides/create controller?

We do not filter transient properties from the Jackson representation.

"_embedded": {
"persons": [
{
  "name": "John",
  "greeting": "Hello John",
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "http://localhost:8080/persons/1"
    },
    "person": {
      "href": "http://localhost:8080/persons/1"
    }
  }
},…

@Entity
public class Person {

	@Id @GeneratedValue Long id;
	String name;
	@Transient String greeting;


	public Person() {
	}

	public Person(Long id, String name) {
		this.id = id;
		this.name = name;
		this.greeting = "Hello " + name;
	}

	@PostLoad
	public void postLoad() {
		this.greeting = "Hello " + name;
	}

	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public String getGreeting() {
		return greeting;
	}

	public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
		this.greeting = greeting;
	}

}

Please note that there is also an association for certain operations (such as PATCH) that require a property mapping between its persistent state and its REST representation.
