Hi, everyone,

I wonder if someone has experience of implementing
FIX using EJB technology? If so, could you please
share your experience with me? Advantages,
disvantages, feasibility …

Thanks in advance.

The only engine that I know of that is implemented using this technology is Financial Fusion. I’m a user of it rather than one of its developers, so cant really comment further.

B2BITS Corp. offers an EJB implementation built on top of our open source
.FIXantenna Engine.
We have successfully implemented this solution in a number of consulting
projects and I have
my own opinion about advantages and disadvantages based on this experience.

Advantages:

  1. All well known advantages of component technologies. In particular our
    FIX-connected systems
    built with EJB have clearly separated component business logic. FIX Engine
    itself is represented
    internally as a set of Enterprise Java Beans controlling different aspects
    of its functionality and
    interacts with Enterprise Java Beans that implement business logic.
  2. Seamless integration with web-applications built on J2EE platform.
    Various web front-ends
    that use JSP/Servlet/EJB technologies can be easily extended to adopt FIX.

Disadvantages:

  1. Relatively low performance with high hardware requirements
  2. Enterprise Java Beans that work on one Java Application Server platform
    usually won’t work out of the box on another one - code adaptation is
    required.

I can recommend implementing FIX using EJB technology for those
organizations,
which are J2EE platform oriented or plan to use FIX Engine in their systems
in conjunction
with a web front-end (web-based order entry systems etc.) and that don’t
expect extreme
transaction loads.
