Re: [Quickfix-developers] receiving messages

[Dale W. <wil...@oc...>]

Hi Jeff,

You should be aware (and maybe you already are aware) that message 
passing in the FIX world is asynchronous.  There is no concept of 
sending a request and getting one and only one reply to that request the 
way there is in other protocols (CORBA, Java's RMI, Soap, etc.)  Instead 
the counterparty will respond when it has something to say.  A new order 
single message, for example, may eventually trigger five or six replies 
(or more or less) from the exchange.

If you read the FIX protocol specifications for the version of FIX you 
are using (these are available at www.fixprotocol.org) you will find 
sequence diagrams that show the messages that would be exchanged during 
many common scenarios.  Reading and understanding these will give you a 
better feel for what to expect.

HTH,

Dale
