[Quickfix-developers] Implementing Logon/Logout

[Alexander K. <ale...@un...>]

Greetings,

I'm using FIX 4.2 and C++. What's the right way to implement Logon and 
Logout? My code looks like:

    MyApplication application;
    FIX::SessionSettings settings( cfg_file );
    FIX::FileStoreFactory storeFactory( settings );
    FIX::FileLogFactory logFactory( settings );
    FIX::SocketInitiator initiator( application, storeFactory, settings, 
logFactory );
    initiator.start();
    while(true){
      // do something...
      if(order_condition) application.SendOrder();
      // if(login_condition) application.Logon();
      // if(logout_condition) application.Logout();
    }  
    initiator.stop();

It seems that initiator.start()/initiator.stop() automatically sends 
login/logout requests (I'm wondering because I can't find these methods 
in SocketInitiator.h header). I want to login/logout my FIX-Application 
manually. Is there a way to do that by implementing Logon/Logout methods 
in my application-class (if yes, how can I query it)?

Thanks for help!
