At this point, I've also literally emptied my Application (quickfixj.Application). It should not be doing ANYTHING, and yet I'm still rejecting on that tag. Anyone, please help?

Herman,

Can you include the logs that show the flow of messages going out and coming in preceding this error?

From the FIX spec about tag 122:

Required for message resent as a result of a Resend Request (2) . If data is not available set to same value as SendingTime (52) (Can be embedded within encrypted data section.)

It's possible that your counterparty is not sending you the message with that tag, and QFJ may be rejecting it b/c it is required in a particular case. It's impossible to say what's going on without seeing the actual message flow.

Make sure you enable logging for INFO level. Here's a sample for Log4J:

# QuickFIX/J.
log4j.logger.quickfixj.msg.incoming=INFO
log4j.logger.quickfixj.msg.outgoing=INFO
log4j.logger.quickfixj.event=INFO

Hi Toli,

Thanks for the response. I cannot attach logs at this time, but I can confirm that the scenario that you are putting forth is happening: someone is sending me FIX messages in response to a resend request and not including that tag. However, it appears that the code that processes the association of tag 122 with this event is buried inside the QuickFix/J code and is something that I would like to override. Is there anything I can do to override this check?

Regards,
Herman

(That is, anything short of editing the QuickFix/j source itself?)

It seems that the following code fragment from Session.java is responsible for reject:

private boolean validatePossDup(Message msg) throws FieldNotFound, IOException {
final Message.Header header = msg.getHeader();
final String msgType = header.getString(MsgType.FIELD);
final Date sendingTime = header.getUtcTimeStamp(SendingTime.FIELD);

if (!msgType.equals(MsgType.SEQUENCE_RESET)) {
if (!header.isSetField(OrigSendingTime.FIELD))

....

It appears that some FIX implementations (e.g. ICE exchange) do not set OrigSendingTime in some of their messages during resend.

I propose to validate OrigSendingTime field only if it is present in inbound message:

 Index: java/quickfix/Session.java
===================================================================
         Date sendingTime = header.getUtcTimeStamp(SendingTime.FIELD);
 
         if (!msgType.equals(MsgType.SEQUENCE_RESET)) {
-            if (!header.isSetField(OrigSendingTime.FIELD)) {
-                generateReject(msg, SessionRejectReason.REQUIRED_TAG_MISSING, OrigSendingTime.FIELD);
-                return false;
+        	Date origSendingTime;
+        	try {
+            	  origSendingTime = header.getUtcTimeStamp(OrigSendingTime.FIELD);
+             } catch (FieldNotFound e) {
+            	 origSendingTime = null;
               }
-
-            Date origSendingTime = header.getUtcTimeStamp(OrigSendingTime.FIELD);
-            if (origSendingTime.compareTo(sendingTime) > 0) {
+            if (origSendingTime != null && origSendingTime.compareTo(sendingTime) > 0) {
                 generateReject(msg, SessionRejectReason.SENDINGTIME_ACCURACY_PROBLEM, 0);
                 generateLogout();
                 return false;
             }
+
         }
 
         return true

Could you please let me know the resoltion for this issue? I am having same issue while connecting to ICE.
