Is there a way to map a calculated property using JPA?

Assuming I have an Invoice object with one or more InvoiceLineItems within it, I wan

    What you've described is not a calculated property in JPA sense. You're calculating it yourself within your method - just mark that method as @Transient and JPA will ignore it.

    If you truly need a calculated property (where "calculated" means "calculated via SQL expression"), you'll need to annotate it according to your JPA provider. For Hibernate you'd do that via @Formula annotation:

    @Formula("col1 * col2")
    public int getValue() {
     ...
    }
    

    Other providers may have their own ways to configure this; there's no JPA standard.

    I know that I am necro-ing this thread, but maybe it might help somebody out.

    If you want to calculate the value on read, the @PostLoad annotation might be what you want:

    @Transient
    private BigDecimal totalAmount;
    
    @PostLoad
    public void onPostLoad() {
        BigDecimal amount = BigDecimal.ZERO;
        for (InvoiceLineItem lineItem : lineItems) {
            amount = amount.add(lineItem.getTotalAmount());
        }
        this.totalAmount = amount;
    }

    Perhaps the PrePersist annotation can be used for this.

    @Column(name = "TOTAL_AMOUNT")
    private BigDecimal totalAmount;
    
    @PrePersist
    public void updateTotalAmount() {
        BigDecimal amount = BigDecimal.ZERO;
        for (InvoiceLineItem lineItem : lineItems) {
            amount = amount.add(lineItem.getTotalAmount());
        }
        this.totalAmount = amount;
    }
