Establishing Session

[Zauri Meshveliani]

Hello, 

I've been trying to use open-source fix8 version. 
In the documentation there are tips how to establish the session

ClientSession<myfix_session_client>::ClientSession_ptr mc(new ClientSession<myfix_session_client>(TEX::ctx(), 

    "myfix_client.xml", "DLD1"));

mc->start(true);

I use FIX44.xml configuration, in which Logon message doesn't require 
Username and Password fields, but my server demands it to be provided.

I tried to search for ClientSession implementation to change .start() function but couldn't find it...

Is there any way to change the Logon message this mc->start() generates?

Thanks beforehand

Hi,

You should override generate_logon method of your session client.

Message *myfix_session_client::generate_logon(
const unsigned heartbeat_interval, const f8String davi) {
Message *msg(Session::generate_logon(heartbeat_interval, davi));

*msg << new NX::Username(username_) << new NX::Password(
password_) << new NX::ResetSeqNumFlag(true);

return msg;
