[Quickfixj-users] newbie questions

[Robert B. <rbr...@me...>]

1.)  We plan on connecting to 4 end-points, so I have 4 sessions in my
configuration file...is there a benefit to using the
ThreadedSocketInitiator as opposed to just the SocketInitiator?

2.)  If one of our end-point's connection goes down indefinitely, are
the remaining 3 sessions ok?  Say one of the 4 end-points goes down
momentarily and then goes back up, will the engine reconnect or do I
have to bring the entire engine down and reconnect all 4 sessions?

3.)  Examples of the custom Initiator classes have a 'System.in'
statement waiting for a user to hit a key on the keyboard to exit the
engine.  If we want to put this process in the background, this isn't a
feasible design obviously...so I was curious what people are doing to
build an engine that can be set as a background process and then when
brought back to the foreground, how is the engine being stopped
elegantly so the appropriate logout and disconnect procedures occur?

Thanks for any help and your patience with a newcomer!
