Did you check the "Sending messages" part of the QuickFIX/J docs:

http://www.quickfixj.org/quickfixj/usermanual/usage/sending_messages.html

The best approach would be the section "Most Type Safe... DO THIS!":

import quickfix.fix42.NewOrderSingle;
...
     NewOrderSingle order = new NewOrderSingle();
     ...
     order.set( new Account( "aaa" ) );
     order.set( new OrderQty( 2000 ) );

Please be careful converting double values to String and back (you could get unexpected .9999... in 
the decimal place). Alternatively, you can set the string directly:

     order.setString( OrderQty.FIELD, "2000" );

Cheers, Jörg
