The FIX component supports the FIX protocol by using the QuickFix/J library.

fix://configurationResource

Where configurationResource points to the QuickFix/J configuration file to define how to connect to FIX. This could be a resource on the classpath or a reference to a full URL using the http: or file: schemes.

By default this component will attempt to use the Type Converter to turn the inbound message body into a QuickFix Message class and all outputs from FIX will be in the same format.

If you are using the Artix Data Services support, then any payload such as files or streams or byte arrays can be converted nicely into FIX messages. REVISIT - WARNING: Commented out this paragraph.
