[Quickfix-developers] Session logout() Vs. reset()

[Radhika S. <Rad...@Pi...>]

Hi,

My client application calls logon() and logout() when I want to start
and end a session.
before I explain a little, my question is how is calling reset()
different from logout().

logon for very first time is successful.
isLoggedOn =3D true,
sentLogon =3D true,
isEnabled =3D true.

After logging out and re-logging on,=20
isEnabled =3D true (so logon() does set m_enabled =3D true)
sentLogon =3D false
isLoggedOn =3D false.

Here is the interesting behvavior -=20
if I use the session.reset() function, the problem described above does
not occur.

Looking into the code I see that all logon() and logoff() is doing is
setting the m_enabled flag.
reset() calls disconnect().
What does this mean? ie. what is happening differently when I call
reset() as opposed to logout().

Also, when the session is started I issue a socketInitiator.stop() to
stop the fix engine and restart with start().
I do not know if this has an effect on anything.

Thanks in advance.
