Code Generation

QuickFix/J

To generate code based on XML FIX Dictionary I recommend using maven plugin released by QuickFix/J. I did not find any useful documentation on how to use it, so quick tutorial down below.

In each POM file there is already configurated quickfixj-codegenerator plugin. To make it work just run it trough command line.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.quickfixj</groupId>
            <artifactId>quickfixj-codegenerator</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.3</version>
            <configuration>
                <dictFile>${basedir}/src/main/resources/IB_FIX.xml</dictFile>
                <outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java/</outputDirectory>
                <packaging>quickfix.ib</packaging>
                <fieldPackage>quickfix.ib.field</fieldPackage>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Available configuration parameters:

• dictFile - The dictionary file to use for mapping messages to java.
• schemaDirectory - The source directory containing *.xsd files.
• outputDirectory - The directory to output the generated sources to.
• decimal - Enable BigDecimal representation.
• orderedFields - Enable orderedFields.
• packaging - The package for the generated source.
• fieldPackage - The base field class to use.
