[Quickfixj-users] Adding qualifier to quickfix Message

[Toli K. <to...@ma...>]

Hey guys,

Wanted to ask for advice on the best way to decouple the business
logic from sending logic in quickfixj.

For example, we are trying to use a messaging framework where our
"OrderManager" would drop a completely configured FIX message on a
queue that will then be sent out by another thread.

To send the message, we need to have the FIX message configured with
all the sessionID routing info (sender/targetIDs + beginString +
qualifier).

However, currently it's not possible to set the qualifier on the
Message object itself - there's no setter for that, and we don't want
to invent a custom FIX field to store it in the message itself either.

What would you recommend the best approach to solve this?
A change to the API (adding quickfix.Message.setQualifier() and
changing quickfix.Message.setSessionID to be public instead of
package-protected) would solve our problem, but it's a change to the
API and i'm not sure it's the best approach.

any other ideas/advice?

thanks!
