Converting business objects to FIX messages

To convert a business object to a FIX message, the FIX data handler loops through the attributes in the top-level business object in sequential order. Parsing every populated attribute, whether required or not, the data handler generates blocks of a FIX message recursively based on the order in which attributes appear in the business object and its children. Multiple value strings are concatenated using spaces. (For more on multi-value strings, see MultipleValueString.)

Note:
No data validation is performed by the data handler when converting business objects to FIX messages.
