I would suggest you start by taking a look at both the QuickFIX and VersaFix open source engines, as both of these systems provide good examples of how to configure sessions and extensions in a manner that provides a good degree of flexibility. You can find QuickFIX at: http://www.quickfixengine.org You can find VersaFix at: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/versafix http://www.assimilate.com/Products/VersaFix The complete source code for both of those engines is available from those locations, as well as documentation that describes how their configuration systems work.
