Re: [Quickfixj-users] Sending a Heartbeat

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

Stacy,

I may be mistaken, but I think all  heartbeat exchange happens behind
the scenes automatically.

Once you log on to your FIX acceptor and they exchange login messages,
each side sends heartbeats to each other automatically.

if that's not enough for yo, you can try sending a heartbeat in the
onLogon() method in your FIX Application subclass as well.

for example, when our Marketcetera OMS connects to the FIX exchange
simulator (essentially the ordermatcher in the quickfixj examples
directory), the simulator sends a heartbeat to OMS after logon, and
the OMS replies. and it's the underlying QFJ layer that handles all of
that, we didn't have to add any code to setup heartbeat exchange,
aside from having the default
HeartBtInt=30 value setup in the config file (ours is done in Spring
but it's the same idea):
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/browser/platform/trunk/oms/src/main/resources/quickfixj.xml

hope this helps.
