Allow derived properties (getters) to be mapped [DATAMONGO-434]

[spring-projects-issues]

Charles Blaxland opened DATAMONGO-434 and commented

It would be useful to be able to map the result of a getter (or any public method with no args) to Mongo, in addition to just the fields of a class. This is especially useful for derived properties, which don't have their own field but are instead calculated from the values of other fields. You may want to store these derived fields in Mongo so they can be efficiently queried

I'd actually propose that this be the default behaviour - that getters are used instead of directly accessing member variables. Is it passe to still assume that we use Beans to contain data?

Just ran into this--I have a running-total property that I want to be stored in the database for easy queryability, but I don't want a backing property
