A Scala Fix Engine implementation. It is a full implementation of the session level protocol, tested using the sackfix tester project, supporting acceptor and initiators using AKKA and Scala.
To get started simply download the examples project and start the acceptor and then the initiator. The SackFix suite consists of
- Examples: This is all you need!
- Tester: A very simple test suite to stress out any Session level implementation.
- Session: All of the statemachines and message handling for the Fix Session. ie the business logic lives here.
- Messages: Code generated Fix Messages for all versions of fix.
- Common: The code generator and common classes - including all the code generated Fields.
Full documentation is at the github pages.
Upgraded in 2021 to akka typed and scala 2.13.
| Version | Year | built with |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1.0 | 2017 | JDK 1.8, Scala 2.11, SBT 0.13.12, Akka 2.4.16 |
| 0.1.3 | 2021 | JDK 1.8, Scala 2.13.5, SBT 1.4.7, Akka 2.6.13 |
Feel free to upgrade and generate your own version.
The tests require that should you receive a NewOrderSingle then you should reply with an ExecutionReport. For instance, see T8_ResendRequestSpec.
You also need a persistent message store so that replay of business messages works.
Well, SackFix will not implement login, or encryption, or data content. It will also not insist on the ordering of fields within the message or header as experience shows there are too many implementations which do not do that correctly.
Due to the above, tests that focus on these items were not written.
In particular:
- A tests of ordering of fields in a group,
- A test that all header fields preceed all body fields
Pretty much all the session level validation and message flows for login, logout and resend requests.
There is a really straight forward Fix sender and receiver based on the old Java sockets - this is very deliberately not straying into NIO, Netty or Akka.io etc. Its as simple as I could do it, with little thought or effort.
So the simple fix package does key value tuples, and sockets. It provides the handy utils for logging in, logging out and creating headers using the values from application.conf.
As I said, I've been learning Scala and wanted to know the session level spec, and writing the tests seemed like a fine way to learn.
All the best,
