[Quickfix-users] Quickfix/j migration...

[Kimpton, C \(Chris\) <Chr...@ra...>]

Hi,

Some notes on my quickfix/j migration and a little problem...

Given the problems I am seeing with the exception violation when using
the JNI version of quickfix (see other thread) and lured by the
performance gains mentioned in the quickfix/j press release, I decided
to try it out.

- compilation was straightforward - java code is compatible
- perhaps obviously, the store files are not compatible, get
EOFException when trying to use JNI quickfix with quickfix/j - so
removed the old files
- the quickfix/j code does not seem to like to bind to port 443 (the jni
version did) - it claims the port is in use... - maybe it's a
priviledged port issue, I do have 2 acceptors running in the same jvm
and other one seems to bind to port 442 ok.

And now to the problem, I am running some performance tests - using
quickfix/j on both sides - a dummy acceptor is pumping messages into my
app and responding appropriately to any messages it sends.  After
running for 5-10 minutes, the initiator then disconnects claiming it is
not getting any heartbeats. I have a setting of 10 (seconds) for the
initiator heartbeat.

I am using the latest beta2 - which I guess should have the fix to bug
#133, re: acceptor sending heartbeats.

Is the heartbeat behaviour different compared to the jni version?

Thanks,
Chris
