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, JMS, 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.
System Requirements
To get started, make sure your system has Java 8 or higher.
$ java -version java version "1.8.0_60" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
Configuration
This section will acquaint you with the basic information used during the configuration of the application.
All of the information in the configuration files is read at startup, meaning that any change to the files necessitates a restart of the application.
The conf folder holds the configuration files for FEJ.
