[Quickfix-developers] starting/stopping a session?

[Andrew M. <an...@nm...>]

I have a java application which does the required 
System.loadLibrary("quickfix_jni"), then creates several 
ThreadedSocketInitiator and ThreadedSocketAcceptor objects.  In the config 
files for these initiators and acceptors I specify multiple [SESSION] 
blocks with unique SenderCompID and targetCompID.  

I can do this...
 
  quickfix.Session s  = Session.lookupSession(id); 

but it would be nice if I could do this...
 
   quickfix.Session s = Session.lookupSession(id); 
   quickfix.SessionID sid = s.getSessionID();
 
and this...
 
   quickfix.Session[] sessions = Session.getSessions();
   
and this...

acceptor = new ThreadedSocketAcceptor(
	application,
	messageStoreFactory,
	settings,
	logFactory,
	messageFactory);
	
quickfix.Session[] sessions = acceptor.getSessions();
sessions[0].stop();

it would also be nice if the Session(static) and Session(specific to one 
FIX Session) objects returned an iterator over all the unique sessions 
they control.

Currently, I can only get a reference to the individual FIX session 
objects which have been instantiated if I create a SessionID equal to that 
session's, then pass that SessionID into the lookupSession method.  I 
have to parse the config files to get those strings.  I have 
multiple acceptors and initiators and I have no way of knowing which 
sessions belong to which acceptor/initiator without refering to the 
config files.  Is that right?
