Steve,

we took a first crack at configuring QuickfixJ through Spring in our latest release.
we have created 2 sets of files, quickfix.appctx.xml and quickfixj.xml that you can find at
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/browser/platform/trunk/oms/src/main/resources

The first one sets up the paths for DataDictionaries to load, the quickfixj.xml deals with creating the log factories,
specifying session defaults, socket initiators, etc.

the overall app for us is setup in a different file (oms.xml),but perhaps these could act as a starting point for other examples.

In case it helps any one I did the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee"

<bean id="quickfixConfig" class="java.io.FileInputStream">
<constructor-arg value="./src/test/config.uat/quick-fix.cfg" />
</bean>

<bean id="sessionSettings" class="quickfix.SessionSettings">
<constructor-arg ref="quickfixConfig" />
</bean>

<bean id="logFactory" class="quickfix.SLF4JLogFactory">
<constructor-arg ref="sessionSettings" />
</bean>

<bean id="messageFactory" class="quickfix.DefaultMessageFactory">
</bean>

<bean id="messageStoreFactory" class="quickfix.FileStoreFactory">
<constructor-arg ref="sessionSettings" />
</bean>

</beans>

Which is then included in a master config file where the acceptor is configured.

Nobody has been asking for this, so I'm closing the feature request (which I submitted).
