[Quickfix-developers] Mysterious reject

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

The quickfix engine is automatically rejecting a QuoteRequest message with
the following:

Message=org.quickfix.fix42.Reject
<message>
  <header>
    <field number="8" value="FIX.4.2"/>
    <field number="9" value="117"/>
    <field number="35" value="3"/>
    <field number="34" value="393"/>
    <field number="49" value="XXXX"/>
    <field number="52" value="20030205-15:18:07"/>
    <field number="56" value="YYYY"/>
  </header>
  <body>
    <field number="45" value="7265"/>
    <field number="58" value="Tag not defined for this message type"/>
    <field number="371" value="15"/>
    <field number="372" value="R"/>
    <field number="373" value="2"/>
  </body>
  <trailer>
    <field number="10" value="076"/>
  </trailer>
</message>

Tag 15=Currency and is defined as an optional field for this message:

- <message name="QuoteRequest" msgtype="R" msgcat="app">
  <field number="131" name="QuoteReqID" required="Y" /> 
  <field number="146" name="NoRelatedSym" required="Y" /> 
- <group number="146" name="NoRelatedSym">
  <field number="55" name="Symbol" required="Y" /> 
	<<<<<lots of other fields here>>>>>
  <field number="15" name="Currency" required="N" /> 
  </group>
  </message>

I am using FIX42.xml and the java jni library. So far other messages have
been processed ok, but this is the first one with a repeating group. When
tag 15 is left out of the message, it rejects the new message with the same
error on tag 22=IDSource which is also an optional field.

Any ideas?
