Is it possible to validate @Transient field in Spring Data REST?

Question

I have my entity with few fields and one of them with @Transient annotation.

class Entity {
   private String id;
   ...
   @Transient
   private String field;
}

And I have next problem with validation. When I try to rejectValue for that field I'm getting next exception: org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'field' of bean class [com.test.Entity]: Bean property 'field' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

I've found a place where exception is thrown org.springframework.data.rest.core.ValidationErrors we have there two lines:

PersistentProperty<?> property = entity.getPersistentProperty(PropertyAccessorUtils.getPropertyName(segment));

if (property == null) {
    throw new NotReadablePropertyException(source.getClass(), propertyName);
}

So it's possible to rejectValue only for persistent properties? Any ideas how to overcome it?
