Re: [Quickfixj-users] Do you validate?

[Christoph J. <chr...@ma...>]

Hi,

I don't know which QFJ version you use. But there was an improvement (pull requests [1] and [2]) 
made in 1.6.4 which should allow to process such unknown fields if you set AllowUnknownMsgFields=Y 
(tags < 5000) and/or ValidateUserDefinedFields=N (tags > 5000).
The unknown field will then be added to the repeating group instance if it is not a known trailer or 
message field. Of course this could cause problems (as Eric already mentioned) when the unknown 
field is actually to be considered a message field and the repeating group already ended. Then you 
really need the new dictionary to be sure.

Hope that helps,
Chris.
