[Quickfix-developers] QuickFixJ Questions

[Bryan M. <bma...@ya...>]

First I'd like to thank the Quickfix team for such a great product.  I am
just starting an implemetation of QuickFix/J and after spending a good deal
of time sifting through the code and mail archives I still have the
following questions that I hope someone can help with:
 
1- Will I encounter any problems if I use a separate Application class for
every fix session that I create?  The application object doesn't seem like
it takes that much overhead and its seems logical to me to package
everything fix-related inside of it from my application's perspective.  The
examples seem to imply that only one application object should exist, but I
don't see any reason why that is necessary.
 
2- Am I correct that the log will log *everything* while the store only
manages the sequence numbers?  As a corollary, is there some benefit to
using a database for either of these when it seems like files will be faster
and easier to implement?
 
3- Finally, as per suggestion from an earlier post I downloaded the latest
code (ie december 22) from the cvs source and built it rather than using the
.zip binary.  Please let me know if there is any instability in the code
that I should be aware of.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Best regards,
Bryan
