Adding attributes runtime

Hi,
Is there anyway attributes can be added to an Entity POJO at runtime without having to recompile the code
For example, suppose my Entity POJO is Person and I wish to add the attribute shoesize to Person but due to the way my project is deployed I can't recompile the code.
Is there anyway to do this?

You already have the getter?
Then using an XML mapping will work, but you need to redeploy the application.

No, I don't already have a getter.
This is a project requirement to be able to add attributes to the business entity which will be persisted without having to recompile code.
Any ideas?

Use Groovy?
