Can properties that are not persisted have getters and setters?

Question

I am using getters and setters on some computed properties, and I do not want to store the values for these properties in the database. Can properties that are not persisted have getters and setters?

Answer 1

Yes, of course non-persisted properties can have getters and setters. There is no relationship between the 2 things, other than the fact that custom getters/setters are a pretty common place to put your code for reading/writing to your persistent store.
