[Quickfix-developers] Architecture Question

[Patrick S. <pj...@ya...>]

I am implementing an order manager c# wrapper around QuickFix which will 1.=
) Convert my order messages->FIX messages and vice versa and 2.) Pass on ev=
ents that my trading applications need.  I imagine that most people are doi=
ng this.  As is shown in all of the examples and seems necessay due to the =
architecture, I will have an OrderManager class and it will contain an Appl=
ication class( the class that derives from MessageCracker and QuickFix.Appl=
ication).  So in order to pass on events to the class implementing the Orde=
rManager I have to either 1.) Handle the Event from the Application class b=
y firing another event which is handled by the client app or 2.) Expose the=
 Application class as a public member and have the Client app implement dir=
ectly, ie OrderManager.Application.OnExecution +=3D OrderManager.Applicatio=
n.Execution(application__ExecutionEvent).=0A=0AMy questions are: 1. Why is =
QuickFIX implemented this way? 2. What method are people using to create wr=
apper classes and 3.) Have I missed something that makes my question either=
 irrelevant or just plain naive?=0A=0AThanks,=0APatrick=0A=0A
