[Quickfix-users] when does onLogout get called

[Good T. <aa...@rd...>]

hello

We're puzzling over some quickfix behaviour and getting more puzzled as we go through the source

Here are the steps for a logon in broad terms

a fix session is initiatied
onLogout is called

ok, that means that if we need to do any kind of higher level logon stuff, we know exactly when the fix session is up

now, when we log off, that seems to be a different story

there are three calls that we've looked over

nextLogout, disconnect, generateLogout

it seems, in broad terms

fix session is terminated
onLogout is called

that seems opposite to us, it seems like we should get onLogout called before the session is terminated so that we can do "higher level" stuff before the connection goes away (or at least attempt)

is that not possible? are we missing the point?

i'd expect that on a "nice" logout, we should expect onLogout to be called before the session was gone, and if it was a "bad" logout, we'd expect the call to not happen, or if it did, then the session would be "dead"

anyway, any input would be helpful
