Re: [Quickfix-developers] beginner's validation question

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

Michael,

QuickFIX does not validate outbound messages.  Since you have total=20
control over those messages, it allows you to send whatever you like. =20=

The counter-party who is better equipped to know what they can handle=20
can do the validation on the received message.  If you really want to=20
validate a message before sending it, you can do so yourself by getting=20=

a hold of the data dictionary for the session you will be sending on. =20=

Something like so:

Session* pSession =3D Session::lookupSession( sessionID );
if( pSession ) {
	try {
		pSession->getDataDictionary().validate( message );
		Session::sendToTarget( message, sessionID );
	} catch( std::exception& e ) {
		// failed validation
	}
}

Otherwise QuickFIX will only validate incoming messages, since these=20
are the ones that you do not have control over and could be potentially=20=

damaging to your application.
