[Quickfixj-users] Initiator failover due to acceptor compID already in use

[Tsz S. C. <jas...@gm...>]

Hi all,

We have recently found a problem that Initiator failover was stuck with the
first address when acceptor compID already in use by another initiator.

It seem to be related to this, though I think the change only exposed the
bug, not created it.

https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj/commit/622b858d4a6d972b0d2006b5029f2be354d1dcdc

In the case of targetCompID in use, the session was connected and active,
so the address index set to one, even it was dropped afterwards. Then the
initiator will try and fail forever until the session of the targetCompID
is available again.

How could the initiator detect the targetCompID in use and therefore could
try next address in the list?

Cheers
Jason
