Hi, Thanks Asankha for the input.
We included this validation feature in the FIXTransportSender intentionally because we were not very happy with the level of validation offered by Quickfix/J. Also these restrictions imposed by the transport can help in sending response messages when a service is having multiple sessions on the acceptor side. Anyway what you say also makes perfect sense. Therefore we can consider removing the validation feature from the FIXTransportSender or may be we can consider having that as an optional feature. I have already done this in my local working copy of Synapse. Therefore please raise a JIRA regarding this improvement. Then we can start working on it. Thanks again for your feedback and keep them coming. We need contributions from our users and developers to make the FIX transport a more productive and useful piece of software.
