A FIX protocol demo with Java+QuickFIX/J+Spring Boot+Docker+React. Jaakko Saaristo 2018

• Simulates FIX by creating an Acceptor (execution broker, seller) and Initiator (investment manager, buyer) services
• The services communicate in raw FIX
• The services are Spring Boot applications running in Docker containers
• Acceptor actively outputs the traffic in its FIX ports to a websocket
• Initiator provides a REST interface to send commands over a REST client
• React GUI

Prerequisites

• Linux
• Maven 3
• Docker

Building Spring Boot jar

mvn clean package

Will produce a single jar under target/. Running initiator/acceptor uses Spring profiles.

Building Docker containers

./docker-package.sh

This will build and produce 3 docker containers

Running Docker containers

./docker-run.sh

This will start 4 containers with the respective environment.

The initiators have different settings.

Using the initiator over REST

/ping
/           command=test   send TestReq
/fieldname  code=CODE      return field name for CODE

Configuring

Check the files

core/src/main/resources/*.properties 
docker-run.sh

The FIX session settings (in settings-[acceptor|initiator].properties) can be overridden by passing the container environment variables FIXSETTING.name=value.
