You are correct: get() will throw a FieldNotFound exception if the field 
is not set.  If FieldNotFound is thrown from the fromApp() callback, 
quickfix will send a "conditionally required field missing" rejection.

So, calling isSet() works, but you can also enclose your get() code in a 
try-catch block to prevent FieldNotFound from being thrown out of fromApp().
