Re: [Quickfixj-users] Using different delimiters for repeating groups with the same fix tag

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

Hi,

I don't know why it should not work. It does of course NOT work on the *same* message type.
When you try to access the fields on the message you could create the needed group and access it. E.g.:

         Message message1 = new Message();
         Message message2 = new Message();
         Group group1 = new Group(295, 55);
         group1.setString(55, "SYM");
         Group group2 = new Group(295, 299);
         group2.setString(299, "ID");
         message1.addGroup(group1);
         message2.addGroup(group2);
         message1.getGroup(1, group1);
         message2.getGroup(1, group2);

Cheers,
Chris.
