Lets call the FIX engine which connects to your counterparties as Facade FIX Engine. So between the Application's in-process FIX engine and the Facade FIX engine, only application messages are exchanged and there is no session? If so build either the Session part as specified by FIX or build the get "positive ack" method Greg Orsini mentioned below. Are the messages from the in-process FIX engine to facade FIX engine complete FIX messages or they are reduced messages like they do not have SendingTime[52], MessageSequenceNumber[34] etc and these values are plugged in by the Facade FIX engine in which case you should consider them to be delimited Strings. The Facade FIX engine validates the messages received from the application's in-process FIX engine, what does it do if the message is invalid? > purpose of extra fix engine is to validate the constructed fix message, > route it to the counterparty and handling of session specific messages > (e.g. Resend etc). > > > > > If your Application is sending out FIX.4.4 messages to your FIX > > engine which sends FIX.X.Y messages to your counterparty, then I > > believe your application has an in-process FIX Engine because your > > application is producing FIX messages which is what FIX engines do. > > What do you gain by the extra FIX engine between your application's > > in-process FIX engine and the counterparty ?
