[Quickfix-developers] Adding fields to the message

[amit k. <kha...@gm...>]

I am new to quickfix and I am currently exploring it to see if I can use it
in my project. My use case is as follows.

1. Create a session
2. Send a logon request
3. Send a market data request
4. Receive market data and log it to a file

I have modified the tradeClient examples to send the market data request. In
the current version of the Logon.h it doesn't allow me to set the password.
I have modified the code of Logon.h to have an extra method to set the
password. Now, generateLogon method of session is creates a Logon message.
It doesn't set the password field. I can modify that code also and make it
set the password. However, I am wondering if there is a mechanism by which I
don't have to modify the code but just give it some sort of a dictionary to
say here the fields that should be populated for a given message.

TIA.

Please advise.

Cheers,
Amit Khandelwal
