[Quickfix-developers] Network Status Request / Response Messages

[Nick V. <ni...@ad...>]

I'm using QF 1.11.0 for Java and FIX 4.2 and have a question related to 
Network Status Request / Response messages.  How do I add support for 
these two messages when I'm using version 4.2 of the FIX protocol?

Thanks.

(See also my answer in the "Custom Message" thread.)

You could take the source of the FIX 4.4 message and adapt them to FIX 4.=
2. I would=20
suggest to move the Network Status message to an own package and change t=
he line

public class NetworkStatusRequest extends Message

to

public class NetworkStatusRequest extends quickfix.fix42.Message

To process incoming message, you have to create your own message factory:
Copy quickfix.fix42.MessageFactory and add lines like

    if("BC".equals(msgType)) {
      return new ...NetworkStatusRequest();
    }

You can supply the this specific message factory to your session. Also ch=
eck the=20
DefaultMessageFactory definition.

If you need the message cracker, you need to add this in a similiar way.
