Combining Log4FIX and The QuickFIX/J FileLog

Here is a quick example showing how to use Log4FIX in live mode and the standard QuickFIX/J file log.

SessionSettings settings = ...
Log4FIX forLiveUpdate = Log4FIX.createForLiveUpdates(settings);
LogFactory log4FIXLogFactory = forLiveUpdate.getLogFactory(); 

LogFactory fileLogFactory = new FileLogFactory(settings);

// create a composite containing the Log4FIX LogFactory
// and the FileLogFactory
LogFactory compositeLogFactory = new CompositeLogFactory(new LogFactory[] {
         log4FIXLogFactory, fileLogFactory});  

initiator = new SocketInitiator(..., ..., ..., compositeLogFactory, ...);

...

// show the Log4FIX panel
forLiveUpdate.show();

Your QuickFIX/J application now sends log messages to Log4FIX and to a file.

Enjoy.

Log4FIX 1.6 Released

I am pleased to announce Log4FIX 1.6. This release fixes a threading bug that swallowed error messags, and adds the capability to automatically import a single file from the command line.

Listed below are the links to the issues resolved in this release:

• Launch Log4FIX and Automatically Import a Log File
• Log4FIX Stops Processing The Log File With No Explanation

Here is an example showing how to tell Log4FIX to automatically import a log file when starting Log4FIX:
$ java -jar log4fix-1.6.jar /path/to/my_data.log

Thanks to all that help make Log4FIX a better product.
