Re: [Quickfix-developers] repeating group - saying field not available

[Rick L. <ric...@gm...>]

After looking further into my issue, I believe it has to do with 
improperly /creating /the message.  I'm attempting to generically create 
a group (not knowing, necessarily, /which /repeating group it is 
(meaning I don't know if it's the NoMDEntries, or NoLegs, etc. group).  
I'm given the message field by field, and I had been just adding the 
fields as they came (so even if a field was part of a repeating group, 
I'd just keep calling message.setField() for each time; each time it 
would overwrite the previous field.

So now I'm trying to properly construct the message using the Group 
class, however I'm having a hard time getting the length field to 
automatically be created like it is when you use type-specific groups.  
In other words, here are the messages I get, in order, from the exchange:

1.) [555] = 2
2.) [600] = [N/A]
3.) [623] = 1
4.) [602] = 980018
5.) [603] = 8
6.) [624] = 1
7.) [600] = [N/A]
8.) [623] = 1
9.) [602] = 980023
10.) [603] = 8
11.) [624] = 1

How could I construct a generic Group object such that it includes the 
tag [555]?  If I do the following QuickFix doesn't know that both groups 
belong to the same sequence.  Can groups be constructed generically?

QuickFix.Group group1 = new QuickFix.Group(1, 0);
  group1 .setField(600, "[N/A]")
  group1 .setField(623, "[N/A]")
  ...

QuickFix.Group group2 = new QuickFix.Group(1, 0);
  group2 .setField(600, "[N/A]")
  group2 .setFi eld(623, "[N/A]")
  ...

message.addGroup(group1);
message.addGroup(group2);

Thanks,
Rick
