Using the Adapter

The TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for LavaFX 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 software, this adapter can use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine and the TIBCO StreamBase® High-Performance FIX Engine. The QuickFIX/J FIX engine is included in TIBCO StreamBase distributions. The TIBCO StreamBase High-Performance FIX Engine is available as a separate product. Contact TIBCO Technical Support for additional information.
