[Quickfix-developers] Do I need one or multiple FIX::Application instances for two way communications?

[Robert L. <le...@qe...>]

The docs are unclear about this, so I am posting my question to the list.

 

I am working on a solution where my application is to communicate with a FIX
server and my application is supposed to send and receive FIX messages. I
believe the FIX protocol is asynchronous and therefore a FIX::Application
implementation that is configured to be an initiator can only send messages
and is not set up to receive messages. So I need to also run a
FIX::Application implementation that is configured to be an acceptor.  

 

Is this correct?  If so, is there any reason why I can't have a single
application instantiate multiple FIX::Application instances (one initiator
and one acceptor)?

 

Thanks,

Robert Levas
