[Quickfix-users] settings

[J. M. <jul...@pr...>]

I've achived to performed a succesful logIn to my trade host. Thanks all for
the sujestion and solution. Now I have another question... I don´t have very
clear how the setting file works... Why it recogniced some fields but others
are missing? Where is that specified? In adition to [DEFAULT] and [SESSION]
tags, is there any other? Can I load generics messeges tags from a file
without parsing them by my own? Ther is not a function
"session.getField("my_field")"?  It won't be correct to specify all the tags
particular info in the code and develop a parcer to do this wont be easy.

Thanks again. Julian.

Yes.

You can call get() on a SessionSettings instance to get a Dictionary 
instance containing the [DEFAULT] settings.  If you pass a SessionID 
argument to get(), you will get a Dictionary instance containing 
settings for a particular [SESSION].

On the Dictionary instance, you can then call getString("my_field") or 
getLong("my_field") or getBool("my_field"), etc... to get the value of 
your field depending on its type.
