Toplink unmapped property

I am using Oracle Toplink
I would like to add an unmapped property (class member) to my entity, meaning I just want an entity class member that is not tied to the database. Doing so, toplink automatically defaults the mapping and throws an exception stating that no database column exists. I just want a simple class member that does not exist in the database.

Is it possible to tell toplink to ignore this class member so that it will not look for it in the database?
What are the alternatives?

Thanks for the help
Suzanne
