<div class="block">Identifies a <a href="../../../com/amazon/carbonado/Storable.html" title="interface in com.amazon.carbonado"><code>Storable</code></a> property which is not directly persisted, but
 is instead derived from other property values. A derived property cannot be
 abstract, and a "set" method is optional.

 <p>Derived properties can be used just like a normal property in most
 cases. They can be used in query filters, indexes, alternate keys, and they
 can also be used to define a <a href="../../../com/amazon/carbonado/Version.html" title="annotation in com.amazon.carbonado"><code>Version</code></a> property.

 <p>If the derived property depends on <a href="../../../com/amazon/carbonado/Join.html" title="annotation in com.amazon.carbonado"><code>Join</code></a> properties and is also
 used in an index or alternate key, dependencies must be listed in order for
 the index to be properly updated.

 <p>Example:<pre>
 &#64;Indexes(&#64;Index("uppercaseName"))
 public abstract class UserInfo implements Storable&lt;UserInfo&gt; {
     /**
      * Derive an uppercase name for case-insensitive searches.
      *&#47;
     <b>&#64;Derived</b>
     public String getUppercaseName() {
         String name = getName();
         return name == null ? null : name.toUpperCase();
