[Quickfix-developers] Message data dictionary initialisation

[Mark L. <Mar...@bt...>]

All,

I'm trying to get Message::toXML() to ouput the names of the fields aswell
as the field numbers and looking at the code in toXMLFields() it references
the static data dictionary Message::s_dataDictionary.

When I receive a message I have the message itself and a sessionID. I can
get a pointer to my session using Session::lookupSession() but the discreet
session data dictionary Session::m_dataDictionary does not have an accessor
and it is declared private.

It also appears strange to me that each session has it's own data dictionary
but the Message class has a statically declared one. It appears possible to
have a different data dictionary per session but a Message must only have
one.

Also, the only method that sets the Message data dictionary is handed a URL
and not a pre-constructed data dictionary.

Am I pushing the library too far ? Is this just not quite complete yet? 

I'm basically after outputting the complete message I received into a log
file in XML format with the names, numbers, enumerations/values...

Thanks
Mark.
