I know about such problems. When I use the FileLogFactory, but forgot to 
add the entry to the cfg file, QF aborts. Will check this...

Oren, what do you know about this? Probably a ConfigError should be 
thrown or is not correctly catched in the JNI layer.

Tag 58 is the explanatory text for you to read; it is not tag 58 which 
is out of range. Tag 45 refers to sequence number 468 (34=468).

Probably you tried to send a MARKET order from Banzai to the Executor. 
The Executor only accepts LIMIT orders, others are rejected:


      56         if(ordType.getValue() != OrdType.LIMIT)
      57             throw new IncorrectTagValue(ordType.getField());

This from the file

      quickfix-1.8.0/quickfix/examples/executor/java/src/Application.java

The thrown exception results in the session level reject being sent.

The Ordermatcher rejects that order with an ExecutionReport:

58=Unsupported Order Type, use limit

which is more helpful here.

Just try the order matcher to see the difference.

Cheers, Jörg
