Thread: [Quickfixj-users] USER DEFINED FIELDS!!

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

Hi there!!

I want to send some user-defined data in my fix message,e.g current customer
name,how can I create and send a user-defined field with my message?

Thanks in advance,
Kamran.

Mohammad,

You can set the custom fields manually like this:
   msg.setField(new StringField(7777, "customValue"));

Or you can use a type other than StringField.

Keep in mind that if you want your message to validate, you'll need to
modify the FIX4x.xml file appropriately and specify that in your
settings where you specify the data dictionary file.

Here's an example of a custom field we created:
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/browser/platform/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/marketcetera/quickfix/customfields/NoMarketDataSnapshots.java

You can also look through our OrderLoader code to see how it handles
cutsom fields and injects them into messages:
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/browser/platform/trunk/orderloader/src/main/java/org/marketcetera/orderloader

Hope this helps.

Hi Toli!

I have created the User Defined field on the client side like this,

*order.setField(new StringField(6600,"Customer Name"));*

How do I manage it on the server side,so I need to create a field over there
as well and what should be the code for that?

Regards,
Kamran.

You can do order.geString(6600) to get your field back.

You can, of course, add the field to the data dictionary XML file,
load that into your client and server so that your messages are
validated correctly as well.

does that answer your question?
