[Quickfix-developers] SessionNotFound Exception sending messages in Java

[David M. <Dav...@mo...>]

Hi all,

Coming along in QF.  I saw some old threads which experienced this exact
problem, ie, QF for Java has some problem finding the right session. 
Here is the scoop:

There are 3 overrides to Session.sendToTarget

a) sendToTarget(Message)
b) sendToTarget(Message, SessionID)
c) sendToTarget(Message, SenderCompID (string), SenderTargetID (string))

It turns out that no matter what I tried with c, I ALWAYS got
SessionNotFound!!!  I also noticed that if I set the following in the
cfg file:

	SenderCompID=OrderEngine
	TargetCompID=monheit

I got back a sessionID of "FIX.4.0:OrderEngine->monheit" on the C++
program, ie, executor.  When I ran my order entry program in Java with a
cfg of:

	SenderCompID=monheit
	TargetCompID=OrderEngine

the sessionID was "FIX.4.0: monheit->OrderEngine" !!!  Note the space in
there!!!!

The way I got it to work is by using override b, and sending the
SessionID which I got on the order...

I did not try method a yet.

Need to have a look at why this is.

Regards
David
