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

[Grant B. <gbi...@co...>]

The "initiator" and "acceptor" roles simply determine who is
connecting and who is waiting for a connection.  Otherwise, they are
not that different.  Both can do two-way communication.

It really sounds like you should poke through some of the example
programs before proceding further with your investigation.

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.
