如何在 QuickFix/J 中测试连接

Question

I wrote an QuickFix program and created a config file.. Now, when I'm running my application, nothing happens.. So I ask me, how I can recognize if the connection (my program is of type initiator) is established or not.

I've added to the methods that I implement from the Application interface

void fromAdmin(Message message, SessionID sessionId)
void fromApp(Message message, SessionID sessionId)
void onCreate(SessionID sessionId)
void onLogon(SessionID sessionId)
void onLogout(SessionID sessionId)
void toAdmin(Message message, SessionID sessionId)
void toApp(Message message, SessionID sessionId)

a System.out and a logger.info, but nothing of them fires something.

If a connection established, the methods onCreate and onLogon are invoked, or?. So the System.outs in these methods should write something..

But are there any other opportunitys to check wheter the connection established, respectively the config file is valid.

PS: I use the SessionSettings to read the config File in.. But I can't find a method in the SessionSettings like validateConfigFile() or something like that.

Maybe you can help me with my problem.

Thank you for your help!!!

Answer 1

Has your config file got

FileLogPath=log

?

Then to debug you look at the FIX messages log, usually in the bin/debug/log directory, which is where it would be for the above config file. If it's not a security risk then paste your config file here please. Also, yes add the System.Out to your Application interface. Here's mine:

public void FromApp(Message msg, SessionID s)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("IN: " + msg.ToString());

You can download Banzai application which is an accpetor/iniciator with grafic interface. You can iniciate a session, and send/receive messages from your app. enter image description here
