asynchronous notification of FIX connection failure

M-etc-

 

We’re writing a client to connect to the OMS and receive FIX messages (as we mentioned to you guys a month or so ago).

 

I want the client to be notified immediately (without having to poll!) if there is a problem with the FIX connection.

 

I was looking through the code and noticed that QuickFIXJ informs the user of a connection problem (asynchronously) by calling the onLogout() method (in m-etc, it is in the QuickFIXApplication class).

 

m-etc seems to record that the connection is down (and so I guess that info could be accessed by polling JMX), but from my brief look at the code I don’t see it informing the user (asynchronously) and I’m not sure how it would inform the user if it wanted to…

 

Am I missing anything (I haven’t actually done any testing…)?

If not, do you have any plans to enable such a feature and, if so, what mechanism might you use?

 

Thanks,

Russell,

This is a great suggestion and clearly a very needed feature - thanks a lot for bringing this up!

I've filed an RFE for it at http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/ticket/365

It's a very easy fix, and i'll try to get that checked in the next couple days. It'll be a JMS message like the Execution Reports - the OMS will just forward the incoming login/logout message to the topic via the  jmsOperations.convertAndSend(message) call.
