Hi,

I was wondering how much effort and difficulty it would be write/code a FIX server ? I am interested in doing this so I can test a legacy FIX4.2 system. I imagine the application level messages to be exchanged to be few and simple.

Thanks for any information !

Take a look at QuickFIX and QuickFIX/J. It depends how complete you want to be. For supporting all FIX versions and session level behavior, it will take a few months. To just put some FIX messages on a socket without proper session behavior is pretty easy…

There are free services available on the net that mean you don’t even have to deploy a FIX engine: http://fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/4ff8641e has one example.
