[Quickfix-developers] RE: [Quickfix-users] Java Code Generator for FIX messages

[Shepheard, T. \(London\) <Tob...@ml...>]

It generates the java code in the "src-generated" folder, which as the
doc suggests is for the message and field definitions. To do this, it
uses the FIX xml data-dictionary files, which you'll find in the etc
directory (FIX40.xml, FIX44.xml etc). The generate.code build task in
build.xml then runs the JavaCodeGenerator to build the message and field
java code, which is then compiled along with the core java files to
create the jar.

So, in a nutshell you just need to create your own copy of the relevant
FIX xml file, and then run a full build. Make sure you have
UseDataDictionary enabled in your config and specify your own
DataDictionary for these changes to be fully validated when you run your
app.=20

	Does any one know what 'JavaCodeGenerator' class in 'QuickFixJ'
beta generates? The java doc says 'Generates Message and Field related
code for the various FIX versions.'

	I need to create new User Defined messages with a lot of fields.
Is there a way to generate the code give a config/xml file? Does
'JavaCodeGenerator' do this? If yes, is there an example of how to use
it?

	Thanks
