  • Member variables
private boolean resetReq;
String mdReqID;

private String userName;
private String userPassword;
private String accountId;

private long requestID;
private SessionID sessionID;

List<String> symbolsList;

resetReq is used to configure whether to reset sequence number once reconnected. mdReqID is used to store the ID of a new subscription to streaming quotes. It will be used when you unsubscribe from the streaming quotes. nextID is used to generate a new unique ID.

  • Construction method
public Data(SessionSettings settings, boolean resetReq) {
  this.resetReq = resetReq;

  try {
    userName = settings.getString("Username");
    userPassword = settings.getString("Password");
    accountId = settings.getString("AccountId");

    symbolsList = new ArrayList<String>();
    symbolsList.add("EUR/USD");
    symbolsList.add("EUR/GBP");
    symbolsList.add("GBP/USD");
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    logger.error(e.getMessage());
  }
}
  • Method to generate a unique request ID for the subscription to the streaming quotes
private synchronized long nextID() {
  requestID++;
  if (requestID > 0x7FFFFFF0) {
    requestID = 1;
  }
  return requestID;
}
  • Callback to receive administrative message, and then do some extra validations
public void fromAdmin(Message message, SessionID sessionID) {
  try {
    crack(message, sessionID);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    logger.error(e.getMessage());
  }
}
  • Callback to receive application-level message, and then do some extra validations
public void fromApp(Message message, SessionID sessionID) {
  try {
    crack(message, sessionID);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    logger.error(e.getMessage());
  }
}
  • Callback to add some extra tag fields before sending an administrative message
public void toAdmin(Message message, SessionID sessionID) {
  try {
    if (message instanceof Logon) {
      logger.info("Data via toAdmin login begun for " + this.userName);

      message.setString(Username.FIELD, userName);
      message.setString(Password.FIELD, userPassword);
      if (resetReq) {
        message.setBoolean(ResetSeqNumFlag.FIELD, ResetSeqNumFlag.YES_RESET_SEQUENCE_NUMBERS);
      }
      message.setInt(EncryptMethod.FIELD, EncryptMethod.NONE_OTHER);
    } else if (message instanceof Logout) {
      logger.info("Data logged out via toAdmin " + this.userName);
    }
  } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    logger.error(e.getMessage());
  }
}
  • Callback to add some extra tag fields before sending an application-level message
public void toApp(Message message, SessionID sessionID) {
}
  • Callback to notify you when a new session is established
public void onCreate(SessionID sessionID) {
  this.sessionID = sessionID;
}

public void logout() {
  sendMarketDataRequestList(SubscriptionRequestType.DISABLE_PREVIOUS_SNAPSHOT_UPDATE_REQUEST);

  Logout mdr = new Logout();
  send(mdr);
}
  • Callback to notify you when a new valid logon is established
public void onLogon(SessionID sessionID) {
  logger.warn("Data via onLogon login begun" + (userName == null ? "" : " for " + userName) );

  sendMarketDataRequestList(SubscriptionRequestType.SNAPSHOT_UPDATES);
}
  • Callback to notify you when a new valid logout is established
public void onLogout(SessionID sessionID) {
  logger.warn("Data logged out via onLogout" + (userName == null ? "" : " for " + userName) );
}

private void send(Message message) {
