Hi Oren, hi Caleb,

we recently added a configuration option to QuickFIX/J, which controls whether QFJ should 
use ResendRequest to INFINITY or fixed-range ResendRequest messages to re-request missed 
messages.

I know the FPL recommends to use INFINITY in any case, and you changed the QF code quite a 
while ago. But this is a requirement from EMX London, which we are connecting to. Maybe 
other counterparty also have this restriction...

To keep QF and QFJ compatible, it would be good to "backport" this change to QF. But I 
think that fixed-range ResendRequests need the queue.

On the other hand, getting rid of unneeded code makes things easier and less error-prone.

Can you both think of a way to accomplish this?

Happy New Year and

cheers, Jörg
