Re: [Quickfixj-users] Tag order matters?

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

Hi,

one of our counterparties (big swiss core banking system) expects tags in a specific order. To cope 
with this we needed to change the data dictionary and generate the message classes from the 
dictionary. You could also extend the existing classes and override the fieldOrder byyourself if you 
do not want to generate the classes from the dictionary(incase you only need a few messagetypes).

However, with that counterparty there is a clear separation between header and body fields. Mixing 
body, trailer and header fields should be a no-no.

You could try setting ValidateFieldsOutOfOrder=N to possibly work around thisproblem. Or hope that 
your counterparty fixes their engine. ;)

Cheers,
Chris.
