[Quickfix-developers] Starting QuickFix Engine

[Nick V. <ni...@ad...>]

I'm using QF 1.11.0 for Java and FIX 4.2 and have a (simple?) question 
related to starting the QF engine.  In my code I create an instance of 
SocketInitiator and then call the start() method to start the QF engine. I 
want to be able to keep trying to start the engine periodically in the 
event that the acceptor I'm trying to connect to isn't available.  What is 
the best way to achieve this?  Should I simply wrap this method call in a 
loop that periodically calls the start() method until the isLoggedOn() 
method returns true?  Or are there some configuration options available 
that I can set to specify how many times to try and start the engine and 
the period between each attempt?

Thanks
Nik
