[Quickfix-developers] validation working

[<gar...@su...>]

Is there anyway to confirm if validation is working?

I would like to have validation turned on but I continue to receive
messages that I think should fail validation.  E.g. I am using FIX42.xml as
the DataDictionary but I am able to send and receive ExecutionReport
messages that do not have an OrderID set.  Is there a way to determine if
everything is configured properly?  E.g. can I remove the DataDictionary
file and see some exception thrown that it can't find the specified file?

Thanks,
