Points of interest

With [QFJ-781] the code generation for FIX5.0 SP1/2 has been introduced, leading to two additional JAR files which are several megabytes in size. This means that putting the quickfixj-all or quickfixj-messages-all JAR file into your classpath will most likely lead to PermGen errors when using the default PermGen size (at least when not using JRE8 which has Metaspace instead of PermGen). To circumvent this you should

  • either specify a higher PermGen size with the -XX:MaxPermSize JVM parameter
  • or only put the needed message JARs into the classpath (e.g. if your application only uses FIX4.4 then quickfixj-messages-fix44 will suffice (of course along with quickfixj-core and needed third-party libraries like MINA and slf4j or log4j))
