Using the Adapter

The LavaFX FIX adapter allows a StreamBase application to connect to the trading infrastructure provided by Lava Trading Inc., and to exchange FIX messages with it.

Because this adapter uses the FIX protocol to communicate with the LavaFX infrastructure, its user-visible functionality is nearly identical to that of the StreamBase FIX adapter. See the FIX Adapter page for primary instructions on configuring and using the LavaFX adapter.

The LavaFX adapter has the following differences, compared to the FIX adapter:

  • Username and Password:

    If your LavaFX account requires a username and password to be included at logon, you must specify this username and password in the adapter's configuration file.

    • QuickFIX/J engine: Add Username=MyUsername and Password=MyPassword entries either in the session-specific section or the [DEFAULT] section of the file.

    • StreamBaseFIX engine:

      Add the following sections to your session's <session> tag of the StreamBaseFIX configuration file: 

      <username>MyUsername</username>
<password>MyPassword</password>

As shipped with StreamBase, this adapter supports the QuickFIX/J and StreamBaseFIX FIX engines. Contact StreamBase Systems Technical Support if you need to use a different FIX engine with this adapter.
