Overview

FIX Edge Java is an application server providing FIX connectivity to multiple clients. Client applications communicate with FEJ through one of the multiple transport protocols (e.g. Simple Sockets, TIBCO, CORBA, HTTPs) employing transport adaptors. It is designed to be as easy as possible to install, configure, administrate and monitor trading information flows. It is written in Java and has a performance profile suitable for the needs of all clients up to and including large sell-side institutions and large volume traders.

In the distribution directory, you will find a bin directory that contains the scripts needed to start FEJ on UNIX platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) and a `bat' directory that contains the scripts for Windows. The conf directory holds configuration files. The lib directory contains Java JAR files, which are third-party files needed to run FEJ.

Once we have extracted the zipball, the next thing is to configure and start FEJ.

Starting the FEJ container on Windows (Unix)

Now, let’s go ahead and start FEJ. All FEJ administration scripts to start/stop the container for Windows are shipped along with the archive in the bat folder with the following content (Unix: similar in the bin folder):
