Re: [Quickfixj-users] FW: QuickFix Set up and usage

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

- you're using SocketAcceptProtocol in the initiator when you should be 
using SocketConnectProtocol, however, that shouldn't matter as the 
default is "TCP"

- you define the initiator session as FIX.4.0 (with the begin string 
statement), but you use the FIX41 dictionary. This probably shouldn't 
matter (much), but it's a potential problem. Also, I would use at least 4.2

Can you provide the initiator output, too?
