[Quickfixj-users] FIXT1.1/FIX5.0 Custom Apllication Message support

[Gittings, P. <Pau...@tr...>]

Am I right in assuming that QuickFIX/J supports, to some extent, custom
application messages as outlined in the FIXT 1.1 spec?

 

It looks like that I can't assign a default DefaultCstAppVerId to the
session, but I can specify a CstmAplVerID in a message header.  It
appears that unless I specify a default application data dictionary,
QuickFIX/J  when it encounters the CstmAplVerID  will attempt to load a
data dictionary with a file  name like <AplVerID>_<CstmAplVerID>.xml  eg
FIX50_TR01.xml.

 

I'm guessing in my example that MessageCracker will dispatch any FIX50
messages appropriately, and the custom messages will be dispatched on
the general OnMessage().

 

Is this about right or do I still need to setup some codegen task?  I'll
probably be in a position to check this all out next week, but any
confirmation that I'm right or wrong in my assumptions or pointers to
information I've missed would save me some time which is in short supply
right now.

 

Cheers,
Paul
