Re: [Quickfix-developers] Custom Fields

[Mikhail V. <mve...@gm...>]

Thank you Brian,

QuickFix was rejecting messages due to the use of the custom Field but I =
was looking to avoid hacking QF (as easy as it looks and sounds).  I =
will try the XML, but I think I will try to use the ValidateCustomFields =
=3D N (don't shoot if the name of the parameter is wrong it's from =
memory) in the configuration first.

Regards,

Mikhail

  It depends on what you mean by "recognize".=20

  If you simply mean that you want QF to allow that field on an inbound =
message, it should work just fine as is - you just need to access the =
field via message.getField() instead of message.get(). If QF is =
rejecting the message due to your custom field (that shouldn't happen), =
you should be able to modify the appropriate XML file (FIX4n.XML, where =
"n" is 0-4).

  If you want full-blown support for your custom field (the field exists =
in the QuickFix namespace and is an integral part of your classes), then =
you need to create a custom version of QuickFIX, which is not nearly as =
hard as it sounds.

  I even wrote a document describing how it's done: =
http://www.nabble.com/Custom-Messages-Classes-Tutorial-p13495584.html

  Oren at one point indicated that he would put that document up on the =
website, but I don't think he's gotten around to it yet.

  Hope this helps.

  All,

  When defining custom user fields:

  USER_DEFINE_STRING(CUSTOM, 9980);

  Is there any way to make the library recognize this field when it is =
being received outside of hacking the Header Files?

  Regards,

  Mikhail
