[Quickfix-developers] Custom Logon Message

[Sarkar, A. <sar...@gm...>]

Hi:

I am very new to FIX and QuickFix in c++ engine. I am trying to build a
custom logon messsage since "Username" and "Password" is required by the
exchange. I am doing the following, basically overriding the toAdmin method.


Can someone please help me in stating if this is correct?

void Application::toAdmin(FIX::Message& message, const FIX::SessionID&
sessionID)
{
 std::string sLogon = "A";
 crack( message, sessionID );
 std::cout << "In toAdmin" << std::endl;
 std::cout << message << std::endl;
 try
 {
  if(sLogon.compare(message.getHeader().getField(35)) == 0 )
  {
   std::cout<< " Setting username and password." << std::endl;
   message.getHeader().setField(553, "XXXXXXXXX");
   message.getHeader().setField(554, "XXXXXXX");
  }
 }
 catch(FIX::FieldNotFound& eFieldNotFound)
 {
  std::cout<< eFieldNotFound.detail << std::endl;
 }
}
