springdata MongoDB batch inserts with continueOnError option

Question

MongoDB supports a continueOnError option so that batch insert continues even if there is a failure in a single document insertion.

Is there a way to achieve this using spring-data version 1.3.3.RELEASE. I am using the MongoOperations class and I don't see an API that allows me to do this.

Thanks!!

You should set this through the writeConcern options for MongoTemplate

mongoTemplate.setWriteConcern( 
    new WriteConcern(<Your options>).continueOnErrorForInsert(true));

Alternately there should be a constructor for for WriteConcern that does this as well.

More specifically as a usage, I set a Bean in a config class:

public @Bean
MongoTemplate mongoTemplate() throws Exception {
    MongoTemplate mongoTemplate = new MongoTemplate(mongoDbFactory());

    WriteConcern writeConcern = new WriteConcern(2);
    writeConcern.continueOnErrorForInsert(true);

    mongoTemplate.setWriteConcern(writeConcern);

    return mongoTemplate;
}

And then later on, set up the operations:

    MongoOperations mongoOperation = (MongoOperations) ctx.getBean("mongoTemplate");

    Collection collection = new Collection() { ... }

    mongoOperation.insert(collection,"collection");   // Uses the writeConcern options
