[Quickfix-developers] [qft] Responder.send(..) method signature change

[Barry K. <bk...@bl...>]

Currently, when messages are sent via the responder they need to send a 
String:

public interface Responder {
    send(String messages);
    ...

In order to effeciently support the JMS transport the argument needs to 
be quickfix.Message. Currently the call chain into this method is:

send(String) - quickfix.Responder
    send(String) - quickfix.Session
        nextResendRequest(Message) - quickfix.Session
        sendRaw(Message, int) - quickfix.Session (2 matches)
            send(Message) - quickfix.Session
                sendToTarget(Message, SessionID) - quickfix.Session
            generateReject(Message, String) - quickfix.Session
          
In this call chain, only sendToTarget and generateReject are public. So 
the changing the api on Responder should not effect backward 
compatibility. So, besides making code changes within quickfix.Session, 
is anybody aware of any other negatives of changing the Responder API?
