[Quickfixj-users] Rolling Message store?

[Nick F. <ni...@ox...>]

I'd guess this might be becoming an FAQ, but I can't find an answer
anywhere.

I've got an application that is likely to be reasonably long running, say a
week, before being reset. Logging messages is nice and easy, just plug in an
appropriate log4j configuration file and I can have all the rolling logs i
want. However I can't see a similar way of dealing with MessageStore.

I suspect that for fix resend purposes i'll never need more than the last 10
minutes of messages. Is there a standard MessageStore implementation that
either just forgets older messages, or a way of getting FileStore to roll
old messages over (say every day)? This would allow old messages to be
archived or deleted without affecting a running app.

If not, would such a message store be a useful addition to the codebase? I'm
thinking of a MemoryStore with a time limit threshold, or a FileStore with
various rolling configuration options similar to log4j.
