I'm a beginner to both quickfix and java.
Usually when I want to remove a Field in a quickfix Message, I use the removeField method with a tag as an argument, but this doesn't seem to work with the 2 automatically generated fields- BodyLength (tag 9) and CheckSum (tag 10).
For example, I have created a message, then I print.
System.out.println(message)
gives
8=FIX.4.29=8635=149=WFSComp23452=20130613-21:45:22.28256=ClientComp1234109=default112=default10=067
then I remove a field, say tag number 8,
with the following
message.getHeader().removeField(8);
and print again, I get
9=7435=149=WFSComp23452=20130613-22:06:32.81956=ClientComp1234112=default10=105
where the field is removed, but when I try to remove the 9 tag the same way with:
message.getHeader().removeField(9);
the output when I print yields the same code without the field removed:
9=7435=149=WFSComp23452=20130613-22:06:32.81956=ClientComp1234112=default10=105
the 9 field is still there !
My guess is that it's because quickfix automatically generates the bodylength, but how do you remove it? Thank you.
