[Quickfix-developers] SocketInitiator Constructor Weirdness..

[Mark R. <mr...@pr...>]

Hi all,

=20

I'm rather new to QuickFix so please excuse me if I have overlooked
something...

=20

Version - 1.12.1

Language - C++

Platform - Windows XP

Compiler MS Visual Studio 7

If I change the tradeclient example to use a FileLog rather than a
ScreenLog, it throws an exception saying that the FileLogPath is not
defined...

...

Application application;

FIX::FileStoreFactory storeFactory( settings );

FIX::FileLogFactory logFactory( settings );

FIX::SocketInitiator initiator( application, storeFactory, settings,
logFactory );

...

The problem is that the Initiator constructor calls
"logFactory.create()" (Initiator.cpp, line 57)...  this version of
create() looks for the FILE_LOG_PATH setting in the default settings,
not any particular session and if it isn't defined it throws an
exception.

The only way I can see to get this to work is to define FileLogPath in
the default session settings... obviously though, this isn't ideal if
you want a different log file for each session... which I do!

Any ideas?

Mark
