QuickFIX/J mixing two different versions
One way to do this is to customize the Data Dictionary FIX4.4.xml and replace the fields in it that can sometimes be in FIX 5.0 format. Eg by copying them from FIX5.0.xml and placing them in the proper messages in FIX4.4.xml. From the QuickFIX/J user manual: The simplest customization is...
quickfixj logs have no newlines for windows notepad
Don't use Notepad. I don't mean that to be a flippant answer, but as a fellow developer I'm sure you know that there are dozens of other text editors out there, and all of them are better than Notepad. This won't be the last time you open a file that...

quickfix.Message cannot be cast to quickfix.fix50sp2.Message
When the begin string is FIXT.1.1 quickfix will treat the message as FIX50 with the DefaultMessageFactory. So it will automatically generate a FIX.5.0 message. The resolution is to write your own custom message factory to generate a SP2 message when the transport is FIXT.1.1. Here's how I did it. Write...

The "Symbol" field is not a top-level field in MarketDataRequest. It's in the repeating group that starts with tag 146 "NoRelatedSym". A MarketDataRequest can contain multiple symbols, and repeating groups are the mechanism which enables this. Please read the QF doc page about repeating groups....
Is it possible to change cast of an object dynamically?
You have some options: dynamic You can use dynamic keyword to make "duck typing": dynamic order= newOrderSingle; order.Set(new Price(limitPrice)); Unfortunately, you loose intellisense and will get RuntimeBinderException when order has not such a method (is of type FIX42 f.e.).

quickFix - sending XML message for Fix 4.4 failing validation
It looks like the standard data dictionaries for FIX 4.4 in QuickFIX don't contain message type n (msgtype="n"), you will have to add the message type yourself. Incidentally I have never seen XMLnonFIX messages before so had to look it up first!
Quickfix crack() throws Field not found exception for field 35
I finally found the source of the problem. I had installed quickfix from source code and it seems that in newer versions of quickfix (1.14.0 and latest) something changed in DataDictionaryProvadider.h related with shared pointers and it seems that it was the cause of the problem. When I installed quickfix...
SocketInitiator getSession give session not at the same order as in the config file

Getting Session Properties (Username and Password) for QuickFix/n
You are on the right track with String username = sessionSettings.getString(sessionId, "Username");, but the method call in QuickFIX/n is slightly different. The call is more like sessionSettings.Get(sessionId).GetString("Username");. See this example: var configuration = new System.Text.StringBuilder().AppendLine("[ DEFAULT ]") .AppendLine("ConnectionType=initiator") .AppendLine("[SESSION]") .AppendLine("BeginString=FIX.4.4") .AppendLine("SenderCompID=Sender") .AppendLine("TargetCompID=Target") .AppendLine("Username=Gandalf")...
